This holiday season, the Friends Society of the Sir Alexander Galt Museum & Archives invites you to help preserve and share the history and culture of southern Alberta.

Our year-end campaign supports programs at the Galt Museum & Archives and Fort Whoop-Up that are not covered by the Galt’s regular operating budget. Your gift helps connect more students, families, and community members with our region’s stories.

Will you make a year-end gift today? A gift of $125.00 can help support an hour of innovative community programming. A gift of $300 can help provide a full day of programming and transportation for local students. Larger gifts can help bring more impactful events and exhibits to the community. Every gift makes a difference.

Please give by December 31 to receive a 2026 charitable tax receipt.

Whiskey Tasting Soirée
Tradition. Craftsmanship. Community.

GET TICKETS HERE!

An evening of tradition, craftsmanship, and community. Join us for the 3rd Annual Guided Whiskey Tasting—an elevated dining experience featuring five curated Irish whiskey pours paired with exceptional cuisine, alongside our signature silent auction. Reserve your seat before tables fill.

We are pleased to welcome Evan Eckersley, a veteran whisky specialist, writer, and Store Manager at Calgary’s renowned Kensington Wine Market. With over twenty years of hospitality and fine beverage experience—backed by formal sommelier training through the International Sommelier Guild—Evan has spent the past decade leading educational tastings, writing for industry publications like Whisky Explorer Magazine, and guiding enthusiasts through the nuances of global whiskies. His deep appreciation for traditional distillation, cask finishing, and the distinct character of Irish Single Pot Still and malt whiskies ensures a guided tasting that is as engaging and approachable as it is educational.
