Kingsville-Essex Highland Games
FLOCK TO KINGSVILLE!

The Highland Games will now have a permanent home at the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village (CTMHV). The Mission of CTMHV is “To preserve the past of Canada’s South for the education and interpretation of present and future generations”. And what could be more representative of Canada South’s history than a celebration of its Scottish & Celtic Heritage? According to Heather Colautti, registrar of the Windsor Community Museum, “Scots have been coming to Windsor and Essex County, in large and in smaller numbers, since the days of the North American fur trade in the late 1600s and 1700s, right through to today and are one of the ethnic communities with the longest historic ties to Southwestern Ontario”. The Highland Games will now be known as the Kingsville-Essex Highland Games. “The Board of Directors at the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village have been overwhelmingly supportive of this initiative,” says Doug Plumb, Chairman and Founder of the current Kingsville Highland Games, “everyone is so enthusiastic about this addition to the portfolio of the CTMHV and we are delighted to finally have a permanent home for this great event.”
