Looking east on Portage Avenue East prior to the opening of the Portage and Main underground pedestrian concourse on February 23, 1979

Caption (on file): "Shivering on the corner of Portage and Main on a cold, windy day waiting for traffic lights to change will now be just a memory with the opening of a climate controlled underground pedestrian concourse linking the four corners of Winnipeg's famous intersection."

Winnipeg's 75th Anniversary parade

Photographs of a parade celebrating Winnipeg's 75th anniversary. The photos are taken on Portage Avenue between Colony/Memorial and Balmoral Streets. The parade features marching bands, baton twirlers, clowns, celebrities, floats of various businesses, organizations, and ethnic communities, as well as members of the Blackfoot Nation. There is no apparent order to the photos, as photos of the same float can be found several photos away from each other.
