Guiding Spirits Exhibit
THE EXHIBIT
This special twelve panel exhibit was researched and written by Diana Wiebe for the Chautauqua Spirit Project – Morden’s 2008 Cultural Capital of Canada Award.
It honours individuals who helped to make the Town of Morden a unique community. It depicts those “Guiding Spirits” – Morden people who have distinguished themselves either in local service or in a larger sphere. It highlights their achievements, ethnic heritage, and contribution to the community.
There are twelve panels covering the following subjects that were designed and manufactured by IS Image Promotions in Morden. Click on the panels below to see a larger view so that you can read the comments next to each of the Guiding Spirits.
