Canada 150 - CBC Digital Archives






During our country's 150th anniversary celebration of confederation I will write posts titled Canada 150 with a link to a publication or website I find that may help you tell the story of your Canadian ancestors.
Click on the Canada 150 label on the right or at the bottom to see all the posts.

Today I have for you...



Canadian Broadcasting Corp Digital Archives 
On This Day







On November 2, 1936 the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation replaced the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission. 

On the CBC Digital Archives website,  you can listen to radio broadcasts and see clips of news stories. Click On This Day, pick a month and scroll down the different days of the month to see an important event that happened on that day. Clicking on the day gives related stories at the bottom of the article. You can also choose by category, like under War and Conflict, choose First World War.

For December 9th there is a 1956 news clip of when Canada welcomed Hungarian refugees.  





One of these Hungarian children, Stefan, came to live at our house while his parents took time to establish themselves with work and a home. Stefan had a very hard time adapting to our customs while living with a strange family. He was with us well into spring, as I remember him helping me make a hole in our dirt road to play a game of marbles.
