My father is a retired Chief Surveyor from Newfoundland who has worked all over Canada in mining communities. My grandparents are miners. My aunts, uncles, and cousins are miners and mining engineers. This is the culture I grew up in. My father once told me about a family who were stealing gold from the mine he worked at when I was a teenager. I never forgot it. To this day, no one talks about it. It never made national news. I think it’s a compelling story and a part of Canadian history that I wanted to share. It made sense to situate the story in Alberta and pit the ‘haves’ (Albertans) against the ‘have-nots’ (Newfoundlanders) at a time when relations were tense. (less)
