Hey there, time traveller!

In the spring of 1919, thousands of residents took to the streets in support of the Winnipeg General Strike. The six-week demonstration attracted media coverage from across Canada, with photographers capturing key moments.
The main photo on this page was taken at Portage and Main during the early days of the strike. Today, thanks to the use of large-format cameras in the early 1900s, we can see in greater detail who took a stand for labour rights 100 years ago.
