This consists of five actuality and interview cuts recorded for the 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, philanthropists and religions that have shaped Canada. There is an extract of noises in a rail yard, including the chugging of a locomotive and changing of signals. An unidentified reporter describes an Avro Lancaster bomber in the Number 3 hangar in Dorval Airport. He describes the navigator's position, gun turrets, the bomb bay, the exterior of the aircraft and other features. He mentions that British pilots think it is the best bomber made. Another man describes his neighbourhood in the district of Maisonneuve in Montreal. He works in a factory on the shore of the St. Lawrence River, like many other residents in Maisonneuve. This is followed by the sound of unidentified machinery.
