A thousand men in eight days. A parade square turned into a suburb with four little lakes. A bronze general on a horse that nobody who lives there can name.
His name was Griesbach. Edmonton's youngest-ever mayor, son of Canada's first Mountie, and the officer who raised the 49th Battalion in a single frozen week of 1915.
The north-Edmonton neighbourhood built on his old army base is now one of the city's most sought-after addresses, and almost nobody there knows what's buried beneath the front porches.
So we dig.
Down through bison country and Treaty 6 homeland; through the Forty-Niners who bled at the Somme and Passchendaele; among them Alex Decoteau, the Cree Olympic runner and Canada's first Indigenous police officer, killed carrying a message through the mud; through the Canadian Airborne Regiment, born on this very ground; the detention barracks nobody put in the brochure; and the village that now remembers its dead one street sign at a time.
Who was the man on the horse? And what does it mean to build your kitchen on a parade square?
