History

Soldiers' wives in the cookhouse.

As Fort Malden National Historic Site of Canada began planning their 50th Anniversary as a National Historic Site in 1988, a group of volunteers assisted staff with the event. The Fort Malden Volunteer Association was formed in August, 1989 by a group of local heritage supporters, who were concerned that adequate funds be available to sponsor special programs and park projects. In February 1991, the F.M.V.A., which had firmly established itself, became a registered charitable organization and a set of objectives were established.
