Hi Neighbour and Happy Anniversary!
2012 is the year that Transcona celebrates its 100th Anniversary!
Through the years, Transcona has grown from a small town back in 1912, to the thriving and diverse community we enjoy today. Although we’re a part of major Canadian city, Transcona has never really lost its small town feeling where many generations of families have called it home. It’s for that reason the 100th Anniversary will be such an important event in our community’s history and to be celebrated by all residents throughout the year.
May 26 The Knights of Columbus and Free Mason's will hold a Dedication to the Transcona Time Capsule at Transcona Centennial Square at Noon -
