At last week’s Props & Hops, we had an amazing opportunity to connect with our community in person and share more about our brick build project!
It was great to see so many people getting involved, asking questions, and engaging with the story behind Hangar 14 in a whole new way.

A special thank you to Edmonton Heritage Council for their support in helping make this experience possible.
