On this episode, we bring you a compilation of the wonderful history series produced by Edmonton’s former historian laureate, Chris Chang-Yen Phillips.

To help Edmonton Community Foundation celebrate its 30th anniversary, Chris had been investigating and gathering stories with a historical connection to Edmonton. And we’ve been sharing those stories on this podcast throughout 2019. From a look at Edmonton during prohibition to visiting the childhood home of Marshall McLuhan, it is our pleasure to bring you on a YEG history adventure this holiday season.
