The Keeper of Westport's Stories: A Museum Curator's Journey
Christine is the curator of the Westport Museum and a fifth-generation local whose family history runs as deep as the village itself. From a childhood promise made to a broken statue named Sally Grant, to the rise and fall of grand Rideau steamships, a hotel that burned down a week before opening, and the quarry stone beneath our own trails, Christine takes us through the resilience, generosity, and quiet tenacity that built Westport into the place we all fall in love with today. It's proof that belonging here isn't new; it's generations deep.
