Terri Lefebvre Prince has retired from her position as Heritage Researcher for the City of Yorkton, effective May 8, 2019. Her many, many years of service, dedication and knowledge will be sorely missed. The City of Yorkton was fortunate to have her for over 20 years, when she started with a three month contract. She has taught many residents the value of history and our heritage through her involvement with numerous community groups and projects. Terri hosted the first Heritage Day celebrations for Yorkton, which is now coordinated by the WDM, where she continued to be a guest presenter. She has been a wellspring of information for heritage and genealogy enthusiasts from all over the globe plus a fearless critic of misinformation. Her dedication and enthusiasm for her position has inspired many within our City, and throughout the community-locally, provincially and nationally.
Terri sent following: “It has been a privilege to do this work and experience the enthusiasm of the public for the pictorial and written story of Yorkton, and researching as much as I could as time allowed, the life of First Nations and settlement days of the region. Thanks to the many friends of the Archives.”
