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. The book describes social and recreational opportunities and difficulties that Edmontonians experienced during that time. Enjoy refreshments, music and good conversation following the presentation.
