iFamily History: Halloween in Canada

Many genealogical speakers have a mascot. I researched what mascot would represent Canada and my history. I picked a female Polar Bear. I then had to come up with a name. Hudson's Bay Company started in 1670 so it has been around for a long time of Canada's history. One of my daughter's came up with the name "Hudson Bear". I loved it.

Hudson's Bear has produced her first video Halloween in Canada. In this short video, she explains three different topics related to Halloween.

The 4minutes video is on my YouTube channel. The link is https://youtu.be/oYrhkHxR35I

The video discusses three items.

How Halloween came to Canada.
Where the phrase "Trick or Treat" was first published
Halloween in Churchill, Manitoba.

Halloween in Churchill is my favourite since Churchill is the Polar Bear capital of the world and this part involves Polar Bears.

Genealogy

I researched my paternal grandmother's line to the first three white landowners of Canada in the 80's. I began genealogy going on genealogy trips in Ontario, England, and Scotland at graveyards with my mother starting at age 7 on. As a teenager, I sat in front of a microfilm reader with a list of names every Saturday at an FHL while my mother volunteered helping others.

I have spoken at Genealogical conferences and sessions at RootsTech (UT), FamilyRoots (UT), The Genealogy Show (in Birmingham, UK) as well as in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ogden, and Ontario.
