Haliburton County 1860's Farming College plus Marion Orr - Pioneering Female Aviator

This week, Kate talks about the challenges facing new immigrants to 1860's Haliburton County who were hoping to farm. One of the proposed answers was to set up - and advertise in England - that they could be trained at a local agriculture college and farming co-op. It didn't exactly live up to the hype. Plus, Paul tells the story of Canada's pioneering female aviator Marion Orr who led the way for women in an overwhelmingly male bastion.
