Description:

This consists of seven actuality and interview cuts recorded for the radio series Our Canada, telling the story of the events, ordinary people and developments in the railways, wheatlands, waterways, mines, airways, industries, communications, arts, governments, philanthropies and religions that have shaped Canada. The marine superintendent of the Halifax [Lightridge] dock facilities built in 1941 by the Dominion Government and operated by the Canadian National Railways, describes the docks. They were built to make more freight cars available for moving war materials quickly. This is followed by the sound of machinery. An unidentified man, in three takes, speaks about building wooden ships in Lunenburg Nova Scotia. Another man speaks, in two takes, about his great-grandfather who came to Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia from Hanover in 1770. He describes the way his father and earlier generations earned their living fishing. He has left the sea and now is a dairy farmer.
