This is Canada 1958
A fascinating audio time capsule, This is Canada 1958 features approximately 35 short vignettes capturing the people, places, and spirit of Canada at mid-century. Originally pressed on 10-inch records and narrated for American audiences by Ottawa native Peter Roberts, these recordings offer a uniquely charming glimpse into Canadian life, culture, and identity as seen through the lens of 1958. Warm, informative, and often delightfully nostalgic—this is Canada, told in its own voice.
