Season
3, Show 9:
The
Fur Trade
In
this Venturing Forth episode we take our cameras to the
community of Fort Chipewyan in Northern Alberta-where
the Northwest and Hudson's Bay companies established trading
posts in the early colonization years-and look at how
they have evolved. Is the fur trade boom a blip on the
economic radar, or a sign of something much more enduring?
And how is enterprise in nearby Fort McMurray impacting
the culture and livelihood of smaller communities like
Fort Chipewyan?
