    Helen Czech, per a newspaper article digitalcollections.lib.umanitoba.ca/islandora/object/uofm...
  • Provincial Archives of Alberta said:
    d156156156 Thanks for the information! The article states that she flew from Whitehorse to Edmonton because women weren't allowed on the Alaska Highway (very strange, considering many women were involved with the construction of said highway) but doesn't state how she got from Edmonton to Winnipeg. There are other articles that mention support teams so perhaps she travelled in a support vehicle.

    When I was 5 years old in 1965 I attended a kindergarten on the corner of Fort Road across from the hotel on 66 st. One of our field trips I think was to this Palm Ice cream facility. I recall being amazed by the amount of ice cream, cottage cheese and milk everywhere. Thought I was in kid heaven. Of course they gave us samples. 😁
