In today's episode, we join John McIssac, Margery Allen, and Mrs. Barker in their 1980 interview. The interviewees describe their time in Edmonton and the development of the City. This recording has been shortened due to its length.
This interview was originally recorded on a 5 inch open reel tape and was digitized by an archivist on December 10th, 2020.
These interviews were recorded in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Both social attitudes and language standards have changed since that time. Some opinions expressed and language used may be offensive to listeners today.
