Edmonton’s own W*p May helped shape aviation history — from an intense WWI encounter with the Red Baron to lifesaving flights across the North. His legacy reminds us how courage and innovation have always been part of this city’s story.

Pemmican is one of the highlights of ECAMP’s labour history Curiosity Tour – Strikes, Struggles, and Success. Visitors are usually surprised to learn about the 1920’s Dominion Government Pemmican factory in Calder, and delighted to taste modern pemmican made by Mitsoh.

As we begin a season of stories about Sensing the City, we wanted to do a deep dive into the history of pemmican production in Edmonton.

So ECAMP’s own Emily Horrill – who leads these tours – wrote a fascinating article for those who want to know more about this tasty, nutritious food.
