Heritage Chat w. Genealogist, Marlene Dance

Join Heritage Chilliwack for another Heritage Chat, featuring genealogist and Heritage Chilliwack member Marlene Dance, presenting “Chilliwack Pioneers and the Loyalist Connection.”

Marlene will explore the fascinating family histories and connections that link some of Chilliwack’s early pioneer families to the United Empire Loyalists—those who remained loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolution and later helped shape communities across British North America.

Through genealogy, historical records, and local stories, Marlene will shed light on how these Loyalist roots became part of Chilliwack’s own history and the families who helped build the community we know today.

Whether you are interested in genealogy, local history, or simply curious about the people behind Chilliwack’s past, this promises to be an engaging evening of discovery and connection.

Everyone is welcome! Free to attend, although donations are always welcome.
