You’ll learn about Indigenous labour and the pemmican industry, women workers at the Great Western Garment factory, immigrant contributions to city infrastructure, and key strikes and protests, including the amusing 1947 Chocolate Bar Strike. You’ll also get a taste of modern pemmican, see where Edmontonians have worked throughout the river valley, and get to make your own protest signs!
