Show detail Hide detail

This consists of nine interview and actuality cuts recorded for the CBC radio series Our Canada, telling the story of the ordinary people, events and developments in the railways, wheatlands, waterways, mines, airways, industries, communications, arts, governments, philanthropies and religions that have shaped Canada. This begins with a message by an unidentified man to "Frank" and "Gerald", to test the recording equipment. He complains about the length of time it took him to get a taxi and a meal after getting off the train. He puts the microphone outside the car "to pick up a few street noises". There are faint traffic noises. A man born in London, England talks about his work in British munition plants during and after the First World War and his emigration to Canada in June 1920. He describes his life in Vancouver. There are two cuts of this. The skipper of an Anglican mission ship [the John Andrew], describes the ship and the work it does to help sick and needy people living up the Vancouver coast. He describes how the ship is outfitted for religious services and hospital care. There are four cuts of an unidentified man who describes the need to keep Canada Christian in the face of the wartime "assault of Modern Nazi heathenism", warning that it is either "Christ or chaos". A Quebec-born man talks about his family, family sail-making business, and his upbringing in Montreal. He mentions his work as a newsreel cameraman. He now lives in Vancouver. (Another take of this cut is on disc 1979-0019/601).
