I'd love to know more of the story behind this photograph ... of this family ;-) ... there is so much interest in women's curling, and Canada (along with Scotland) have the richest curling history.

Howdy Wrangler, This photo is one I found in the Galt Archives and my mother is the lady on the lower step. This photo was published in the Lethbridge Herald when Mom and her team won the Aird Trophy at the Ladies Curling Club in the 1950s. Both my parents were avid curlers. My father was President of the Lethbridge Curling Club in 1958/59. My mother curled in bonspiels all across southern Alberta - often bringing home the prize. Our family heritage is Scottish so it followed that my ancestors were involved in the game of curling - even on the natural ice of Sylvan Lake, AB.

The lady on the lower step is Kay Jamieson. My family lived next to the Jamieson's in Lethbridge in the late 40's. I believe we moved away when I was four (1951), but we maintained a connection with the Jamieson's throughout their lives. Would love to connect with their children. Have the fondest memories of Wally and Kay. Paul Krause.

cool capture!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Flickr Village!, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

this is an amazing document. what were those two guys wearing - hay?

Hi. I'm a passerby but have an answer to the question from Herbi, so I'm adding a comment here. :) Those two guys are wearing traditional raincoats made of straw. It is called "mino" in Japanese.

thanks, nahcco!

People pushing the carts were called "white wings."

Looks like N. 2nd st between Grace and Broad.

i like how they released balloons in celebration of their anti-litter campaign.
