Canadian history fact
Building the Canadian Pacific
Railway

{NC}—It was Canada's most defining and rigorous challenge of the 1880s. Itiook
four years to complete from 1881 to 1885 and it tested the mettle and will of
several hundred thousand Canadian and Chinese labourers - the Canadian Pacific
Railway (C.P.R,).

“Until that road is built to British Columbia and the Pacific, this Dominion is a
mere geographical expression...Until bound by the iron link:.. we are nol a
Dominion in fact.” Sir John A, MacDonald, Dinner address in Montreal, 1875.
The C.P.R. did in fact unite the Dominion as MacDonald had wished and as a
result changed the face of Canadian history.

Here's a look at the life and challenges of the C.P.R. labourers.

Living Quarters: 60-80 mento every rough, leaking, log bunkhouses with poor
ventilation and lighting. . ue

_ Their diet} beans, salt pork, potatogs, tea, bread and sometimes frozen meat.

Their pay: $1.50 per day with $4.50 board per week.

Working conditions: “...throats choked with the dust of shattered rocks, ears
ringing with dynamite blasts, arms aching from swinging sledges or coting rails, skin
smarting and itching froma hundred insect bites, nostrils assailed by a dozen
stenches from horse manure to human sweat..." From The Lase Spike by Plerre

unten, ' ;

The spike stops here: In March 1885 a strike of C.P.R. workers occurred in
British Columbia, just miles away from completion of the railway. The company
had no money left to pay the workers’ wages, A few weeks later the men were
paid and the railway was completed to the pacific on November 7, 1885. This
Canadian historical moment is just one of a selection of facts and trivia about of the
1800s put together by Seagram's 83 celebrating it's 115th Anniversary of whisky
blending tradition. Seagram's 83 part of our Canadian heritoge since 1883.

The Chinese labourers and the C.P.R.

(NC)}—To supplement the Canadian and American work force, labour units of
up ta 1,000 Chinese men were recruited by companies in southem China and
transported to North America. In their camps, each with its own cook, cook's
assistant, and inexpensive diet of rice and ground salmon, the Chinese labourers
were self-sufficient. About $,000 Chinese workers were unable to earn enough
money to return ta China, and as a result settled permanently in British Columbia,

Canadian history fact
The beginnings of compulsory
attendance in Ontario schools

(NC)}—As parents prepare for the back-to-school routine across the country,
let's look back to the very first mandatory school days established in Canada.

Did you know that Ontario took the first step nationwide in 1874 towards
making compulsory school attendance. Parents were obliged by threat of legal
penalty to have children attend school. During the 1880s registers of all school-
age children were required and police officers were appointed to enforce attendance.
This gave new meaning to the challenge of playing hooky. This Canadian historical
moment is just one of a selection of facts and trivia about of the 1800s put together
by Seagram's 83 celebrating it’s 115th Anniversary of whisky blending tradition.
