A Local Public Holiday plus the Rock Slide Disaster in Frank, Alberta

This week, Kate talks about an event that was momentous enough in Haliburton County to qualify for a local-only public holiday. It was something significant for any small pioneer community. Plus, Paul talks about the deadly collapse of the Turtle Mountain mountain rock face onto the community of Frank, Alberta, inundating parts of the town causing devastation and numerous deaths.
