Hello, I subbed your good channel. Happy Holidays

This is a fantastic example of how archives can use new media to reach broader audiences. Kudos to the Uof M Archives and Special Collections. I think this channel is a wonderful mix of archival and instructional footage!

Great site.....great Christmas parade video....oh sorry...I ment Holiday parade.....no I didn't.... Christmas parade video....yeah Christmas.....

The Santa Claus parade film shows the parade passing the corner of Portage and Maryland. The last part shows the back of the Eaton's store on Graham. Its interesting that the costumes and some of the floats seem similar to the cartoons of Charlie Thorson, maybe that's why you have the film because I know you have his archives.

The Veterans parade film shows, I think, the Decoration Day Parade which took place in Winnipeg on the Sunday in May closest to the anniversary of the Battle of Batoche. It was a big event up until the 1960's at least and maybe longer. It became an event that commemorated all the wars Winnipeggers had been involved in, including the world wars. In the early days they marched to St. John's Cathedral cemetary to put flowers on the memorial to the men who died at Bathoche. I don't know where the cenotaph in the film is.
