Summary
In Ottawa, a heartfelt mission is preserving the hidden history of the city’s LGBTQ+ community through the Village Legacy Project. Led by Glenn Crawford—a former outsider who didn’t come out until age 28—this initiative is uncovering stories, photos, and voices from the past to build a digital archive and walking tour. Born from a local business group’s desire to honor the Village’s queer roots, the project seeks to connect today’s residents with the pioneers who shaped their city, reminding everyone that history isn’t just in books—it’s in the people who walked these streets, fought for visibility, and refused to be erased.
