Benches of Waskesiu Heritage Project
We supported a project to digitize two 16 mm films. The films, approximately 7 or 8 minutes each, were professionally made for the National Parks Service in black and white in the 1930s. One documentary with sound, Grey Owl’s Strange Guests, shows a visit with Grey Owl at Ajawaan Lake in 1937 and the other, Summer Days at Waskesiu, shows people in a convertible car arriving at the South Gate, travelling up Highway 263, and visiting the sights in Waskesiu. The films can now be shared digitally, both as images and videos. Photo courtesy of the Waskesiu Heritage Museum.
