In their words: Stories from the Gatineau Valley

Over the past year, the Fairbairn House Heritage Centre has been working on an exciting initiative called In Their Own Words: Stories of the Gatineau Valley.

In partnership with award-winning documentary filmmaker Conor Devries, the Centre offered workshops to community members aged 50 and over on documentary filmmaking, directing, and the collection of oral histories. Participants were then guided and supported throughout the process of creating short documentaries highlighting seniors living across the Gatineau Valley. Here are the first five films in the series. This project was funded by the Government of Canada.
