  • Summary

  • This week, Kate brings more reminisces from Marjorie Clarke. Marjorie brings her 1890's child's eye view to give insights to a local character, Fred Freeman. Fred had been the proprietor of one of the oldest original buildings in Haliburton village that still remains. Plus, Paul talks about the fears and rumours that led to anti-German and Austro-Hungarian sentiments that swept the world during WW1. The result was discrimination against loyal citizens and riots in some Canadian cities, including today's story of a pair of riots in 1916 Calgary, Alberta.

    Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices. Haliburton County is in cottage country about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. You can contact us at timewarp@canoefm.com
