Gillam Your Northern Home (1989)
Loading...
Uploaded by IH986fan on Sep 17, 2011
This was made by Manitoba Hydro in 1989, and I ended up with a copy of this tape near that time, like many others who went/were up there or were considering it. There are a couple other Youtube videos posted about the town that are more current, but gives great context and detail of what Gillam was like then. In fact, it's probably one of the first videos made of a commercial type about the town, at a time when the video cassette was in it's prime as a technology.
Interesting to see the equipment, vehicles, housing, technology, styles, etc etc etc, of that era, but also some great people. Gillam was primarily a Hydro town, but there were many others who were not employed by Hydro that made the town what it was.
It's been 20 years or so since I've been back, so I have no idea what's changed as such. In any event, it was a progressive little place in it's day compared to a lot of other communities in the Province, and not a bad place to live. I wouldn't be surprised if it was still that way today.
Posted and dedicated to all those that lived there: past, present, and future!
