  • Summary

  • Today on a Little Bit Ritchie, we dive into the secrets of Mill Creek Ravine. Mill Creek Ravine lays quietly below a bustling urban center. The ravine, a routine escape in many of our lives, holds tightly to vital stories of Edmonton’s industrial past and perhaps is to thank for the city's early economy. However, Mill Creek Ravine, and the overgrowth below, conceal one of Alberta's most polluted creeks and green spaces. This episode addresses how the history of Mill Creek, as told in the popular past, contradicts itself. Additionally, we question the value of environmental activism when viewed through a colonial lens. This episode explores the stories told within the context of Mill Creek Ravine and the public perception of these stories. What voices have shaped the area as we know it today? Through this discussion, we ask: how can the community interact with these places in ways that promote reconciliation?   To learn more about the topics discussed in this episode and to read a transcript of this episode, visit our show notes https://www.ritchie-league.com/a-little-bit-ritchie-blog/episode-04   Our theme music is Twin Ponds by Hemlock  https://uppbeat.io/t/hemlock/twin-ponds License code: EILTV5BS5BQL2QHR
