Radar Station 1953

Radar Station is a 1953 Canadian short documentary film produced by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) as part of the On The Spot series made specifically for television. The documentary involved an account of a visit to a radar station while it is involved in a simulated air attack, and is based on first-person interviews of the staff at the radar station. Squadron Leader Bill Lee of the Royal Canadian Air Force discusses the northern Canadian radar defense post's operations, revealing the little-known role of these isolated posts scattered across Canada's Arctic. Note: This film was distributed separately on 16mm for schools and libraries, qualifying it as a standalone documentary.

City in Siege N/A

In the spring of 1950, The Red River flooded, threatening with disaster the citizens of Winnipeg and those living along the river valley. Only the largest airlift in Canadian history provided the people and equipment needed to battle the flood and evacuate 100,000 refugees. This catastrophic event turned out to be Winnipeg's true Flood of the Century. This 1950 black-and-white film shows the destruction left in the wake of the flood and the work of reconstruction. Much of the city of Winnipeg had to be rebuilt.
