With this photo it shows what the places looked like at relief camps. To me it looks like even though they are working hard to be fed and have a place to stay, they enviornment they are givin is poor. i think the photo was taken because this was a awful time and they wanted to document it because they possibly knew it would be a huge landmark in canadian history. My only question is how did the goverment pay for these homes? strictly from the labour they were doing?

This photo shows the housing in toronto during the great depression. i think this photo was taken to show how small houses were and how crammed and simmilar everything was. my one question was; Why is the spacing between the houses so slim?

The problem of foreclosures quickly became critical as the Great Depression began. In 1932, 273,000 people lost their homes. In 1929, with the onset of the Great Depression, housing problems quickly worsened. The building of new homes came almost to a halt, repairs went unfinished, and slums expanded.

During the Great Depression, the federal government sanctioned the creation of a system of unemployment relief camps, where in exchange for room-and-board, single men did physically demanding labour. The government was criticized for establishing the camps rather than addressing the need for reasonable work and wages.

This photo seems to show some sort of destruction that was going on during this event. In the background it almost looks like smoke to me, that couldve resulted from a fire someone started because it was a riot. in this image though it clearly does show people who are obviously unhappy with something so they are taking it out on the community which literally makes 0 sense. my one question about this photo would be; Why are there some people just standing around doing nothing?

In early April 1935, hundreds of dissatisfied, disillusioned men walked out of Department of National Defence relief camps throughout British Columbia and descended on Vancouver in a bold attempt to reverse their dead-end lives and bring about some kind of “work for wages” program.

In this photo the first thing i noticed would have to be the train. it seems like the people are  climbing on it and to my understanding maybe they are using it for transportation purposes. all of these photo so far have been black and white which relates it to older events becaue they didnt have coloured cameras in the 1930s. from this image u can learn that this event involved tons of people. my one question was how fast could trains go back in the 30s?

The On-to-Ottawa Trek was a result of the unrest of unemployed single men in federal relief camps. Federal relief camps were brought in under Prime Minister R. B. Bennett’s government as a result of the Great Depression. The Great Depression crippled the Canadian economy and left one in nine citizens on relief.

The first thing i knoticed in this photo would be the big cloud of dust raging towards what looks to be a small community. i think the image was taken to show what this small town was about to experiance when this dust over took the oxygen and engulfs the town. this image is sad knowing that they re about to get demolised by dust. my question is; Did they possibly evacuate before this hit the community? or did they have to go through the lack of oxygen and have a struggle breathing?

The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s; severe drought and a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent the aeolian processes caused the huge cloud of dust.

The first thing i noticed in this picture was the sign. The sign says it all; this man lost all his money on the stock market crash and now needs to sell the car to make ends meet. I think the image was made to show how serious the occasion was, that people needed to sell their luxieres to have enough money to put food on their table. This image makes me feel sad knowing that people didnt have enough money to survive when this stock market crash hit. One question I had about this picture is; what is this man going to do from here on out?
