MGEA Rally, April 25 1991

While working at the Manitoba Museum, I was a member of the Manitoba Government Employees Association. A contingent from the museum bused down to a rally, held on the Legislative grounds, protesting cuts by the Filmon government.

  1. Thanks for showing this to us. So nice to see Ota and Joe Spence – both of whom have passed on. Also, Betsy – of course, thankfully, still with us!
    Great photos!

  2. Good archival collection. It is a marker of the early stages of the shift towards the far right in conservative politics.

  3. Thanks for this Rob. Seeing ourselves and all those we were so close to and many that we worked with for over a 1/4 of a century brings back a lot of shared warm memories. It was such a different time and place.
