Gentrification 1975 - 2026


Between 1975 and 1978, Parks Canada took control of the Lachine Canal, prompting a $100 million federal investment from 1984 to 2001. Real estate began booming in 1996, and from 2010 onward, a condo boom intensified gentrification, driving up property values and transforming Griffintown into a "build it and they will come" neighborhood. Mathew Barlow closes with his reflection on how Griffintown could have been redeveloped differently. In this five-part series, Griffintown: A People's History, historian Dr. Matthew Barlow recounts the fascinating social history of Griffintown, a former industrial neighbourhood just south of downtown Montreal, that has all but disappeared.

The forgotten Navy : the Merchant Navy in the Second World War


Unofficially known as the "Fourth Arm of the Services," the Merchant Navy endured serious threats from mines, aircraft, surface raiders, and a particularly vicious German U-boat blockade, all while having a limited means of self-defense. In this new Memory Project video, two Merchant Navy veterans share their stories of crossing the Atlantic to deliver vital goods to the war effort and the long fight to get their proper recognition. During the Second World War, Canadian merchant vessels made 25,343 voyages from North America to Britain, carrying nearly 165 million tons of military and civilian supplies. Canadian Rear Admiral Leonard Murray, who commanded the Canadian Northwest Atlantic theatre during the war, said "the Battle of the Atlantic was not won by any navy or air force, it was won by the courage, fortitude and determination of the British and Allied Merchant Navy." Since 2003, September 3 has been recognized as Merchant Navy Veterans Day by the federal government.

The post war years 1950 - 1970


Griffintown's decline from the 1950s to the 1970s stemmed from rezoning in 1963 that shifted the area to light industrial use, allowing landlords to neglect residential upkeep and accelerating decay. Mayor Jean Drapeau's urban renewal projects for Expo 67-including the Bonaventure Expressway-further fractured the neighborhood, demolishing homes and driving out long‑time residents in a process that had begun during the Great Depression. Amid this upheaval, the demolition of St. Ann's Church-the heart of Montreal's Irish community-marked the final blow, leading to the community's collapse by 1970. In this five-part series, Griffintown: A People's History, historian Dr. Matthew Barlow recounts the fascinating social history of Griffintown, a former industrial neighbourhood just south of downtown Montreal, that has all but disappeared.

Out of this world


UFOs have been sighted for centuries, always moving in a deliberate manner, leaving at incredible speeds, and defying simple explanations. Shayla visits Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, where there was a widely reported UFO sighting in 1965. Some people believe UFOs to be extraterrestrial or interdimensional, some event reports include mysterious military involvement, and sightings often occur around high energy sources like radio towers or power plants. With so many independent reports of varied flying orbs of light, UFOs seems almost believable. Doc concludes with an indigenous tribal story about beings that came to earth in a ball of light from the skies above.

Textiles


Some are warm, some are cool, others are super strong, and some are only suitable for parties. Have you ever wondered how clothes and other textiles are made and why they have different properties? Well, it all depends on the type of fibres used in the fabric. In this film, you'll learn more about how different textiles are manufactured, their properties, and what they're commonly used for. For example, you'll find out that cotton, wool, and linen are examples of natural fibres, which come from animals or plants, while nylon, polyester, and acrylic are made artificially from synthetic fibres. The film shows various uses and examples of different types of textiles. Finally, you'll be encouraged to reuse textiles as much as possible since they're often difficult to recycle.
