3PM Those Fabulous Sixties, PART 1: A City in Transition

In 1961, the Soviets put a man in space. In 1969, the Americans put one on the moon. The years between were frantic, and for Saskatoon, a small prairie city with metropolitan ambitions, it was time to start making some dreams come true. Join City of Saskatoon Archivist Jeff O’Brien for a look at the way Saskatoon was changing in the 1960s.

Jeff O’Brien received an undergraduate degree in Canadian history and went on to earn a master’s degree in archival studies before he settled down as the City of Saskatoon Archivist in 1997.
