Join the Edmonton City as Museum for two immersive walking experiences this summer! Our Curiosity Tours bring Edmonton's past to life.

Strikes, Struggles and Success 

Discover the working-class stories of Edmontonians who’ve built our city through this downtown walking tour. You'll learn about: 

  • Indigenous labour history and the pemmican industry 
  • Women workers at the Great Western Garment factory 
  • Immigrant contributions to city infrastructure 
  • 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!
