This week, Kate brings the story of a depression era relief project that helped families survive by providing work, but also opened the Haliburton Highlands further to tourism and cottaging. Plus, Paul has the story of Winnipeg entrepreneur and proud Canadian Philip Kives who created the iconic K-Tel company that hawked dozens of items ranging from kitchen products to compilation record albums. K-Tel was really the first marketing concept of its kind - selling products on the relatively new medium of television - that set the stage for today's info-mercials. music streaming, and on-line sales.
