Early Edmonton Construction Articles

Going through my fathers archive I came across some interesting finds. My father was one of the Mechanical Consultants on this and many other city projects over the years. As he likes to say now, He's been around so long they are tearing down buildings he helped put up.








Check out the add bottom right of page 5.
