British sportsmen trip and Canadian trade notes in 1931 diary
A British sportsmen group toured Canadian ports and trout streams while Canada shipped over six million pairs of boots in 1931. Transport and tourism details cover Canadian Pacific routes from Detroit to Niagara Falls and Montreal to Saint John, with eight European Ford dealers entertained on the journey. Also noted are Scotland’s official Trade Mission to Canada, Queen Mary and royal visitors at the British Industries Fair, and a high altitude ski ascent by Bennett, White, and Weiss. The piece mentions bargain rail rates, Eastern Canada excursions, and Governor General Earl of Bessborough’s speech to the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy to air across 21 stations from Halifax to Vancouver.
