- If you grew up Edmonton in the great days of the 60's, 70', and 80's then this is the video for you.
Memories of being a kid in Edmonton Alberta. We are the kids that made it through with a sense of humor and the ability to learn from our mistakes. We've learned from our mistakes without 'helicopter parents', 'Tiger moms', and extracurricular study groups! We had fun! Lets reminisce!

My sister was in the opening ceremony for the Commonwealth Games. They recruited a bunch of school kids.
I remember all of those pictures! How to make a person feel old
Back in the day when life as a kid was BETTER. Thanks for sharing R.
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent pics. I remember almost all of these. Still have my certificate from the March for Millions 30KM walk I completed in the 70s. I was a cripple afterwards but my cousin was doing cartwheels on the Leg grounds!
I loved the iron geese sculpture in front of the old city hall, and the nativity scene at Christmas. I miss the old Jasper Ave street decorations they used to put up as well.
Sure do miss the Sears Wishbook. Spent a LOT of time in the Bonnie Doon bowling lanes, and swimming at the Mill Creek pool in summer. Being a kid in the 70s was awesome. Kids today have no idea what freedom we had. Even the ice cream and popsicles were better. Dairy Queen runs, steaks on the charcoal bbq and eating burnt marshmallows while slapping mosquitoes! Sure wish I could go back in time....
PS: You should add pic of "Popcorn Playhouse" to your vid. :)
Wow, my new favourite site, living mostly on memories in old age makes this doubly precious. Thanks.🤩
1983 my first job was working for Dickie Dee.
I worked with them too
My father built the Westmount cinema when I was kid. The Chateau Lacombe was the tallest building in town and LaRonde restaurant went around and around at the top.
My family moved from Delton to 132 St on Halloween 1959. I watched the 3 Stooges there for 10c I think. Went to Shep too. It was always a struggle for my dad to drive around the circle in the outside lane. LOL. $1.49 day Tuesday, $1.49 day Woodward's.
Yah the Chateau was the must see Ritz for 15 years.
@@GordoGambler sounds like a much better time, do you still live in Edmonton? I grew up here in the late 80’s early 90’s and i can say things were way better in those days compared to now.
Wow! It's like I was 3 minutes from dying and most every single cool memory was flashed before my eyes🙂. This was so awesome! Thanks for posting...you nailed almost everything of those decades !
😂❤awesome,thank you for sharing
You are so welcome
Thanks for the wonderful memories
Thanks for memory’s of my childhood in Edmonton!!!😊
Such Lovely Nostalgia. Edmonton was a great place to grow up back then. I also remember many of the kids in the picture from Sherbrooke Elementary Junior high School. Well done you captured the era perfectly.
The only thing negative thing about this short film, was the speed in which the scenes were to fast and couldn't make out what I was looking at........or for. Did anyone else had the feeling and problem?????
Some people have used the pause option or there is a way to slow down video's apparently:)
You can also slow the playback speed on the settings button. Makes the audio wacky, but works a treat.
Yes just slow down the playback, then mute it. Problem solved!
Yes.
I can remember standing in 2 block line up at the Strand theatre with my 10¢ Old Dutch chip bag for free admission to see Three Stooges flick.
Had to pay next week out of my $1 allowance as the place was full by the time we got to the door.
Edmonton kids were a united force back then.
Ah, the popcorn box frisbee
I grew up there left for the coast in 78. I remember listening to 630 ched every morning before school. I wonder if they ever found 44 chicken.
Edmonton was at its best in the early 1960s to mid-60s. I was a typical businessman wearing nice dark suits, well-shined shoes, and narrow ties back then. In 1976, I switched gears and became a social worker for children at the Youth Development Centre (YDC) in northeast Edmonton. Times had changed for the worst. More divorce, more juvenile delinquency. At the YDC, I dealt with many unruly kids. One boy, who was only 12 years-old, kicked me in the privates really hard when I tried to restrain him, injuring me to the point where I couldn’t walk for two days. The pain of getting kicked in the testicles by an emotionally unstable child was awful. From a well-suited shiny-shoed businessman in the early 1960s to dealing with misfit children in the 1970s and 80s in Edmonton. What a time.
As a kid who grew up throughout the 80s I can believe it, the 80s in Edmonton had a shadow of the way it once was, and despite being so young I can still recall it and feel it and see a resemblance of how things were to old footage and pictures from the 60s.
There are certain parts of Edmonton that really didn't change much from the 50s for quite some time, and I could really see the difference as the middle to late 90s kicked into full gear.
Living in the west end near meadowlark in the 80s I could see so much resemblance of the old shopping centre and the surrounding neighborhoods that very much resembled photos I saw of the 60s.
@@mysteriousfleas I grew up in the west end (Callingwood) in the 80s, too - hello fellow 80s kid.
I was in Pedal Pushers, and road my bike in the Klondike Days parade. As a teen, wore a dancehall costume, and sold garders off my legs for the Ausitm charity. Wonderful memories!🥰😘
Oh wow!
This was great thank you so much. Brought back a ton of memories.
Glad you enjoyed it
For him accordian solo and for her tap dancing on Kiddies on Camera.

The best time to grow up in Canada 50,60,70,up to late 80’s Looking at canada now terrible country. Politicians have ruined one the best countries in the world
Wow, thank you.
That pic of the old ETS Blue Bird was taken in 72 or 73, as evidenced by the Movie being shown at the Theater across the Street.
My house, built in the early 60s, still has the Milk Chute
The Girl shown on the CHED Hit List, was my Next Door Neighbors Daughter, and used babysit me
Clackers, great for Bruises
The Old Photographer on the Sidewalk...
The Wayouts from the Flintstones
The old Metropolitan, and Woolworths, and then Zellers on 101st and 101 ave
The Chateau Lacome, in 1968 or 69, as the Old Library and Edmonton Mens Club at the Top Left, hadn't been torn down for the AGT Tower yet
The CJCA Cool Cat
Eric Neville at CFRN, love the Boots
Happy Pop!
I really liked the old Yellow and White Cop Cars, much better than the Ugly B&Ws they drive now
Jeans needing to be done up with Pliers
Which High School Students were getting the TB Thing?
Walking in 4 ft of snow to school and back, Up Hill in both Directions...
I certainly remember Library Cards
Not TB. Smallpox - the one that left a major round scar on everyone...
@@sadee1287
I had asked about the Stamper and was told it was for TB
0:18 I can hear the clacking sound.
We had the best of times..They didn’t have to take it all..I still own and ride my 82 Yamaha trike daily ,, I refused to let them take them outta my life… this was a very cool flashback reel and koodoos to you for sharing…✌️🤝
Right on
Never experienced this first hand but I feel anemoia
May I share with credits? Thank you.
Please do
I have shared it to my Facebook page. Where did you grow up? How old are you? We might know each other.
0:18 amazing how every class picture from the early '70s looks the same. that could have easily been mine or my sister's.
LongLive the Way-Outs!
It goes too fast! Would have liked a few more seconds on each item.
Noted!
To fast...
It was a great time to grow up in Edmonton, nothing like the progressive dystopia it's now becoming.
True enough, and that's what's made it go from faded glory to full on hellhole.
Speed is too fast
Slower
way too fast
A couple suggestions from others.. press pause and enjoy -or- settings, playback speed, .25
I remember the old safeway sign :09,,, it had individual rows of the "S" that would flash in a flowing left to right pattern, and then it would all flash at once. Oh do you guys remember the old Nicholdome use car lot? it also had a row of lights like that too. Then it' flash the name Nicholdome after the last of row flashed. and loop back.
Lol at 1:01 the helicopter landing game. I used to just fly the chopper up and fast around and around. Until the timer ran out, and then it slowly desended back to earth slowing down yet still rotating... ahhahahah. Or the Lunar lander game. I'd delibratly crash the landing pod into the moon's mountains at full speed. ahahahahahah
1:07. BEEP BEEP juice from cub scouts.... I NEEEDDDDDDDDDD. Who the hell cares that it's 99% sugar. Damn you Health Canada for pussifying our country with decades of Woke BS.
