A view of Victoria harbour in 1886. During the

1890s, a new building code limited down-

town construction to brick or stone buildings,

resulting in the pulling down of the

city’s deteriorating wooden structures, like

the ones shown here.

William Molson Macpherson Collection/National Archives of Canada/PA-62200.


A view of Victoria harbour 25 years

later, in 1910. Construction of the

impressive new legislature buildings

shown in the background began

in 1893.

An immigrant woman and her children wait on

a curb in front of the imposing CPR Station in Winnipeg, around 1909.

Almost everyone who came West came

through this station, built in 1904. In 1992 the Aboriginal Centre of

Winnipeg Inc. bought the building. The refurbished Aboriginal Centre is now

a modern office space.

The United Church Archives, Toronto/93.049P/3111N.


The building of two new transcontinental railways

across northern Ontario in

the early twentieth century opened up vast

areas of the Native peoples’ hunting and trapping grounds to

settlement and resource development.

It also eliminated the Native peoples’ jobs as

freighters. The photo shows HBC

Native voyageurs on their way to Flying Post with

supplies from Biscotasing on the

CPR, northwest of Sudbury,

around 1900.Archives of Ontario/Acc. #10144.
