Photo: Barbour Threads Float, c.1970s

How wonderful is this photo?  It shows a float designed and by workers at Hilden Mill, home to Barbour Threads. We believe the photo dates from the 1976 and shows a float designed for a peace parade, part of a province-wide movement protesting violence.  Do you remember the event?  Let us know!  Get in contact!
