Author and local historian, Robert Proudfoot, will share highlights from A Playful Policeman Meets the Citizen-Making Teacher: A biography of George and Olive MacDonald in Edmonton 1906 – 1919.

The story is about his grandparents, from their origins in Prince Edward Island, to how they met, socialized, and worked in Edmonton.
