"Golden Tales: Chronicles of Our Community" is an initiative aimed at curating a treasury of stories and portraits contributed by local seniors (aged 55+) about their personal histories of life in Clarington, which will be shared and preserved for future generations.

The Heritage Speaker Series Collective has been formed to plan a series of heritage talks to tell the stories of our veterans and war efforts in Clarington, building on CLMA's Golden Tales oral history project. Through the continued sharing of stories, we commemorate and honour local Veterans, their immense dedication and sacrifice they made through war efforts that left a rich legacy of history in the Clarington community.
