Tremblay - family - 1940s

Tremblay - family - 1940s

Collector/curator's description reads: “Circa 1942-43, Vancouver. Photo of the Tremblay family. Parents Fred & Emma are seated, with their 5 children standing. Fred & Emma Tremblay (seated) are pictured with their five children (L-R) Art, George, Freddie, Blanche and Bernie. Fred & Emma, both of French descent, immigrated to Vancouver from North Dakota (via Saskatchewan) in the late 1920s. Upon arrival, Fred opened Vancouver Auto Clinic on Keefer Street in Chinatown with his brother Alec. This is where Fred must have known Yucho Chow, as this family portrait was taken several years after Fred opened his solo business, Tremblay Motors, in Kitsilano in 1934. Fred, nicknamed Chief, later enlisted his four sons into the family business and renamed it Tremblay & Sons Motors (also the oldest Chevron dealership in Canada). Many Vancouverites passed through the garage doors and drove up to the gas pumps at Tremblay's on the corner of 4th & MacDonald, where it proudly stood until 1993. Unfortunately, the last member in this family portrait passed away in 2013. However, many of Fred & Emma's grandchildren, great grandchildren, and now great great grandchildren still call the Lower Mainland home. Photo Courtesy of Linda Tremblay, whose father Bernard (1931-2001) is pictured far right.”

Those magnificent snowbirds - The first 20 years

Those magnificent snowbirds - The first 20 years

Item is a copy of "Canada's magnificent snowbirds - 20th Anniversary" one hour television network documentary featuring Canada's aerobatic team, the Snowbirds. The documentary begins with an overall set up of a child wanting to grow up to be a Snowbird pilot. The story of the Snowbirds begins with try outs for four new Snowbirds pilots and moves on to the history of aerobatic flight teams in Canada. Using a mix of narration, interviews and historical footage the history of the Snowbirds is laid out and then the narration moves into practice, training and the designing of the new airshow routine for the 1991, 20th Anniversary, season. Leaving the training base in Moose Jaw, S.K. the Snowbirds team travels to Comox, B.C. for an airshow. The documentary continues with an overview of the role of the Snowbirds and their goals on their public relations and air show role. Themes touch on why the Snowbirds have lasted as long as they have and why they will continue on into the future. In addition to shots of crowds and performances two airshow promoters from the USA are interviewed. Back in Moose Jaw at the end of the 1991 season there is a reunion of alumni pilots. The documentary ends with a final performance of the 20th season and a child on a beach inspired to someday be a Snowbird pilot. Narrated by Leslie Neilsen. Cassette version edited from D-2. This is the superless cassette version - no blacks or bumpers.
