Emmy Mah on the Klondike Days Parade float, 1953

Emmy Mah was a young teenager when she came to Canada, and she was one of the very few Chinese females in Edmonton at the time. Due to this, she was asked to participate in the Klondike Days Parade Float in 1953. Her radio clip portrays a real sense of excitement as she reminisces about children smiling and her high heel shoes.

Interview and editing by Scott Bell. This documentary was produced as part of a Community Service Learning project at the University of Alberta. It is part of a multimedia project capturing the history of Edmonton's Chinatown, called Figure 一,二,三,六,八.
