On Nov. 2, 1936, a new age dawned for radio in Canada as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation took to the airwaves. In the 75 years since, the CBC has marked one milestone after the next, bringing home the sounds of war, launching TV broadcasting, expanding its reach and ushering audiences online. From 1927 to the 2000s, CBC Digital Archives examines the CBC's efforts in broadcasting innovation.

Racism

When dump trucks roared in to ship Africville residents out, it seemed like a good idea to city planners. By the 1960s, years of neglect and racism had made Halifax's oldest and largest black neighbourhood one of the worst slums in the country. But the relocation of Africville also meant the end of a vibrant community. As one former resident put it, they lost more than a roof over their heads, they lost their happiness.

On a rainy November morning in 1858, before an audience of 100 dignitaries in the trading post of Fort Langley, Governor James Douglas read aloud the short proclamation that officially created the colony of British Columbia. British Columbia grew from a far-off destination for gold-seekers and fur traders to a strong and vibrant part of a united Canada, famed for its natural beauty - hence the provincial motto, Splendor sine Occasu ("Splendour without diminishment"). The CBC Digital Archives celebrates B.C.'s sesquicentennial with a look at the people and the events that have shaped its history.

Immigration

They were prepared to risk everything. In the years following the Vietnam War, over one million refugees fled the war-ravaged countries of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Those Vietnamese who took to the ocean in tiny overcrowded ships were dubbed the "boat people." The survivors sometimes languished for years in refugee camps. The luckier ones were taken in by countries like Canada.

They risked their lives to help build Canada's railroad in the 1880s. But as soon as the work was done, Canada just wanted them gone.

And today, Chinese-Canadians are an integral part of Canada's multicultural society, forging their own cultural identities.

The Second World War dominated the first half of the 1940s, but that didn't stop Christmas from coming. On the home front, homemakers did their best to prepare a lovely Christmas meal despite wartime rationing.

After the war ended and things got back to normal, Canadians appreciated the true spirit of Christmas all the more. CBC Digital Archives captures Christmas in the 1940s with this collection of clips from the decade.
