The first-ever CARMN Museum Passport Challenge has officially wrapped up — and what an incredible success it was! This year, we invited visitors to explore the museums of Central Alberta, filling a passport card along the way, and discover the stories that connect our communities.

A big congratulations to our 2025 Passport winners, Chantel A and Melody G, and a heartfelt thank you for stopping by the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and Museum to pick up your prizes. We hope you enjoyed your visit and the chance to celebrate your achievements in person!

As the first year of this challenge, we were thrilled to see so many people hitting the road, exploring local heritage sites, and supporting the dedicated teams who keep Central Alberta’s history alive. While more passports were handed out this year than pictures submitted, we were thrilled to see so many people participating and exploring local heritage sites. Every museum visit helped showcase the unique stories, artifacts, and experiences that make our region so special.

We can’t wait to bring you more opportunities to explore and connect with local history. Stay tuned for more exciting events and initiatives from our member museums — and thank you for making the 2025 Passport Challenge such a memorable start!
