Okotokians have a chance to learn about their town's history.

The Okotoks and District Historical Society is hosting a cemetery walk through one of the oldest sections of the Okotoks Cemetery.

Karen Peters, member of the society and tour guide, says it offers insight to Okotoks' past and the pioneers early beginnings.

"It gives you an idea of why we're here, who the people were before us even some names that you see in the community on the streets, avenues, and boulevards that you travel on," she says.

Peters says the society has made sure there's no cost to the event.

"It's free because we wish people to come out and participate in their community events."

Those who want to take part are asked to meet at the Okotoks Cemetery on Sat. Aug. 27 at 2 p.m.
