A Canadian Icon: Mr. Dressup
Description
Today, I look at the life of Ernie Coombs, who delighted millions of Canadian children for 30 years as Mr. Dressup. I speak with Fred Penner and Judith Lawrence (Casey and Finnegan) about his life and impact on Canada as well. Thank you to the Conservancy Hornby Island https://www.conservancyhornbyisland.org for their help.
