May familiar scenes from my childhood holidays in Winnipeg. My grandma lived on Home St and my mother attended the University of Manitoba . My last visit there from the U.K was '76.
Memories right here. My home in the 70s. We partied all night. We used to go up to Peguis and bring my friends back from there and traveled 2 hrs back to Winterpeg and got drunk like there was no tomorrow. I been in the drunk tank too many times there.
Hi Kert. Love this 8mm film. I'm working on a independent doc dealing with Wpg history. Is there any possibility we could do a 2K scan of these reels to use in a film about Wpg and the Wpg Folk Fest? I can scan and give you a high rez copy at no cost. Let me know.
+BeauWorld That would be cool. I worked at Opus 69 on Kennedy St. and occasionally at Un-Opus from August-May 1973. Got to know all the guys at Autumn Stone, Mother's etc.
Nicely done! I'm trying to figure out what the tall red flowers are. They look like red tulips but it appears to be summer; not spring. There wouldn't be that many other flowers in blooms like the marigolds. A variety of poppy perhaps?
Very nice! Were these copied to DVD then uploaded to UA-cam? I have some old family 8mm clips of the toboggan slides in Kildonan Park, when they went down the creek bed I'd like to post
Hey Kert, do you know of a Gartner family that lived on Warsaw Ave. in the 1970s? The Dad was a barber and one of the kids, a girl, Crystal, went to St. Ignatius School.
It's nice to see our city this way
I've always liked the name Huntinghawk!

Sorry, many !
Tarn Sand. Those tall red flowers are Red Canna Lily. Very popular with landscapers in the Winnipeg area at the time.
