A recreation of the "Our Alberta Heritage" 1970s radio spots commissioned by Calgary Power, celebrating Alberta history. Now, we don't have the recordings, and we don't have Andy Russell's dulcet voice, but we do have the scripts and, the underlying music of Robert Farnon theme "Gateway to the West." So sit back, as a history nerd recreates a few of the old Calgary Power infomercials.

One of Pincher Creek’s firsts was the old Memorial Hospital, an impressive structure that housed the settlement’s original formal hospital.
Although the arrival of doctors, midwives and some medical services dated as early as the 1880s, most of these endeavours were handled out of peoples’ homes or cramped offices set up by the doctors themselves.
The Memorial Hospital, established circa 1902, answered an increasing demand for full hospital services, after nearly twenty-five years of settlement geographically far removed from any equivalent medical care.
