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!
