About 60 people braved cold for a plaque unveiling at Inglis Elevator National Historic Site. The Inglis Row is now designated both a Provincial and a Federal Historic Site as restoration work continues.

VIA Rail showcased CBC anniversary train cars from Vancouver to Halifax with stops in communities for events broadcasts and museum access. Dignitaries rode the train sharing memories about Colleen Jones Juliette Show Don Messer and other CBC figures while Ivan the artifact traveler and Frank Leahy’s band entertained visitors.
A reminiscence notes Don Messer as a pioneering Maritime broadcaster whose show became a national hit with 350+ musical selections. It recalls the Friendly Giant’s link to a bassist, Oscar wins and Gemini awards, QE II coronation coverage, plus a fond look at childhood favorites like Mr. Dressup and Tickle Trunk memories during 1967 celebrations.
