Ghosts of Camsell

Posted bydmcadminPosted inFeatured, News, Writing & Publishing

One of the most interesting – and heartbreaking – parts of the research for my last book were the X-ray tours, evacuations, and treatments of northern indigenous people in the Charles Camsell Indian Hospital in Edmonton. I could only cover it briefly in the book, but vowed I would spend more time investigating this era, the people and policies involved, and the history right in my own backyard.

Through a grant by the Edmonton City as Museum Project, I have been able to delve into this a little more, and for the next couple of weeks I will be posting daily on my discoveries – and self-discoveries.

Hopefully this will be just another brick in my research into the Camsell and the people who moved through it.

I hope you will check it out and let me know your thoughts, or maybe even share a story or photo. www.ghostsofcamsell.ca

  1. I was living in Edmonton about 2 yrs ago & on occasion – I walked past the Charles Camsell Hospital. Yes: I did sense a feeling of being watched (by whatever haunts the building). It was a very un-settling feeling over all.

  2. Nice blog here! Also your website loads up fast! What host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link to your host? I wish my web site loaded up as fast as yours lol
