Ending in Tragedy: The On-To-Ottawa Trek
Description
What began as a trek to Ottawa by thousands of unemployed men in 1935, would end in a terrible riot in Regina. Wanting to get better pay and conditions at work camps, the protesters were met by a federal government who saw them only as revolutionaries pushing Communism. This is the story of the Trek and the Riot that changed Canada.
