Description: Discover working-class stories of Edmontonians who’ve built our city through this downtown walking tour. 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!

This tour is presented by the Edmonton City as Museum Project (ECAMP), an initiative of the Edmonton Heritage Council. It's a pilot for a regualr tour we'll be offering this summer! You'll be able to catch it every week from June through September.

Location: Meet at the main entrance of the Royal Alberta Museum (9810 103a Ave NW)
