Notice there were no obese or overweight body's. We sure have messed with our food and lifestyle....

"Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end. We'd sing and dance forever and a day. We lived the life we choose, we thought we'd never lose. Those were the days, oh yes those were the days...

Why is no one smiling. Before they could put you in jail for a smile or what ?😂

I was one year old when you made this video. I grew up in Oakridge and spent many days going to Heritage Park. We would ride our bikes over there and go on the rides and buy Sourdough bread for dinner. It was a great time to grow up. Thanks for sharing.

Weird to think that every adult you see in these films has most likely passed on

Isn’t it sad that albertans think they’re hard but they actually don’t walk with god but some are true to alberta

That poor dog being chucked!

Cool video, I like the modified Volkswagen.

Really cool, thanks!! I wonder how they could drive those heavy V8, RWD cars on icy roads !?!

Why were the dashcams so shaky?

Seba Beach...my mom was from there...my parents lived in Edmonton...I wasn't born till 1970...

Lovely to watch. Thanks for sharing

No turban people on the road and street How nice! Everything is beautiful and peaceful Look so nice on the road

Say what you will but the cars back then just looked way better

Neat. Just add some Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet and you got yourself a Kids in the Hall intro.

Nice film. The quality of the images is great. Suggestion: Overdub some country music (either royalty free or copyright songs) and then repost the video.

Thanks Brian, for the memories. Our fair little city has changes a lot.

I still find it hard to believe (from someone who arrived in Calgary in 1991) Blackfoot Trail used to be Highway 2. By 1981, Deerfoot was still under construction from Blackfoot to Glenmore.

very nice films

We went to Sunshine back in the days before the gondola and rode buses up from the parking lot, so about 74?!

Lots of open windows - no A/C!

lots of cool cars & outfits. thanks for uploading!

Look at all the white people. Those days are long gone!

I remember Two way traffic on the High level bridge of course I wasn’t driving yet. Driving on it now I don’t think I would like to meet traffic on it. Seems pretty narrow.

This is memory lane for my life in DT, going to the Dreamland on Saturdays, YMCA for swim and fitness. I think your filming is perfect as if the movement is a slice in time. A friend was caught staring in the Coffee Cup Cafe and ended up with a fork in his hand. There is a kid wearing my old winter coat or one like it in a scene. I had to double take that shot as I thought it was me. Much appreciated!

Parents would throw kids out of the house that were unruly and bad. I met lots of kids on the streets of Edmonton in the early 80s. I was a teenager in the 80s and it was pretty crazy back then nothing even close to what it's like today. Cops and judges were allowed to do their job back then.

Neat

cool do u have bridgeland back in the day?

Very cool. There's an inherent charm to old super 8 film that's very unique. This was about 15 years before I was born, and it's clear that Glenmore and Sarcee didn't change much between then and when I was a little kid.

Every car is a classic!

It’s funny how many things have stayed the same and are easily recognizable despite the growth. The cars were so much more distinct and way cooler then!

1975 Having Flashbacks. Good ones. The next year I got my driver's license. My parents had a 1965 Mustang and a 1970 Mercury Cougar. All my friends drove muscle cars or various GMC sedans. We skied every weekend in the Mountains. Fond Memories. ✌️

Cool ass cars, I love old video of my city. It makes me homesick for a place that doesn't exist

Look how tall the calgary tower used to be! haha nice post, very cool 😎

How the city has changed yet remained the same...

Those were the good ole days

This is wonderful - thanks for sharing. I love that the boats at the reservoir are exactly the same today.

They took this from you.

Night and day difference to today. A conspicuous lack of "diversity".

I lived in the neighborhood of Westgate and the hill was in use until 1978 when a friend of mine was tubing like in this video but at night from what I was told he hit a tree headfirst. After that the city brought in hay at the bottom of the hill to prevent anyone going onto the train tracks at the bottom but kids still had accidents, so the city just planted trees on the hill to prevent any more accidents

Seeing what the "Yellow Pest" plates looked like on actual cars is cool. They actually really look good on the cars of the era.

Back in the day when people took responsibility for their actions and had to use their brains to stay safe.

I read your comment saying you have lots of films so you have to decide what you scan. I wonder if there is any public program to help archive this footage some where like the Glenbow.

Was life better back then in Calgary? To me I wish it was like that now but maybe that’s just because I wasn’t around then.

Fantastic Super 8

Awesome roadtrip

I moved two years ago and it was very close to this exact route, from south end of blackfoot to sarcee trail area. blackfoot to glenmore to 37st/sarcee.

Hello! I had sent an email for permission to use this video in an upcoming series. Please let me know if you've received it. Thanks!

Crazy how after nearly 50 years some things have changed dramatically, and others like Blackfoot Trail barely changed.

I can't believe it . That footage from 5:31 to about 5:40 is 96th Street. Family meat was my dad's business with his partner Joe. The short chubby guy in the white shirt is Paul he ran that little convenience store that he's standing in front of. Sadly he was a victim of homicide as were a lot of people in that area where the hell did all that time go anyway thanks for putting this up
