Southern Alberta Pioneers and their Descendants

Southern Alberta Pioneers and their Descendants The SAPD exists to keep the memories of early Pioneers and Old-timers alive.

The main object of the SAPD is to rescue from oblivion the memory of the early pioneers and to obtain and to preserve narratives of their exploits, perils and adventures. One of the ways the organization supports its efforts is by renting the building to others for events.
