August Newsletter Now Live

Our August newsletter is out, don’t miss it.

This month we remember British Columbia’s worst aviation disaster, the 1951 Mount Benson plane crash that claimed the lives of 23 workers. We illustrate this story with photos you may not have seen before. Learn about the new heritage plaque honouring the victims, and why this moment in labour history still matters today.

We also share an update on the restoration of Ginger Goodwin’s gravestone. We were honoured to visit it when we were in Cumberland this July.

Plus, our latest podcast episode “Behind the Seams: Garment Workers in BC” takes you into the word of sewing factories and union organizing in an often-overlooked segment of BC industrial history.

Catch up on all these stories and more in our August issue.
