What did we learn today at Heritage Park?
- Calgary's buildings were once made of sandstone because we had a great fire and sandstone was fireproof. However we ran out of it in the quarries around the city in1914.
- In the early 1900's, women were not seen or recognized as persons until the Famous Five went to the Great Court in London.
- Women had a Pink Tea, where women would wear pink. The men didn't like pink so they avoided the parties. We got to wear pink sashes and Ms. Jones got to wear this cool hat and we drank tea from china cups.
- The first lumberyard was made by Mr. Prince. It is where Prince Island Park is today. He also created a company that sold streetlights.
- Nellie McClung's house was really big and she loved gardening. She also wrote books that she would write by hand. Her daughter would then use a typewriter to type them out.
- The phones were very different in those times. There was one part that you heard in and another you spoke in. An operator would have to connect and disconnect you, so they knew everything about everybody!
- In the hospital, we learned that the medical instruments for surgeries were quite scary and often painful.
No time today.
