In September 1975, the CHS held a tea to honor 45 long time residents who had settled in Charleswood prior to 1920, and who continued to reside there. Since 1976, the Annual Pioneer/Heritage Dinner, has been held every October, to honor residents who have continuously lived in the community for 50 years with a complementary dinner and a framed parchment. Other honorees have included former school teachers and early residents who no longer reside in the community. From the honorees, the society submits the names of pioneer families and individuals of Charleswood to Park and Street Name Reserve Lists with the City of Winnipeg. The CHS has been active in naming over 25 park areas in Charleswood, with signage and plaques honoring those who lived in Charleswood.
