History: Snowdon, Kirkland-Casgrain and the Grey Cup

The Centre d’histoire this weekend looks back at Snowdon in 1961 – Decarie at Queen Mary before the street was sliced in half by a sunken trench highway.

Radio-Canada has a potted history of the Grey Cup with video clips from earlier matches. R-C has a serious archive page where you can lose hours. Anglo CBC also has an archive page but it’s not as focused on the local scene, obviously.

The Gazette’s history pieces this week were a mix, as usual, but the election of Claire Kirkland-Casgrain in 1961 as the first female member of the Quebec Legislative Assembly (not renamed the National Assembly till 1968) is a good one. They also have debutantes and the lambada.
