Sun, 25 February 2007 This week we recorded the show on-location at the Heritage Day festivities at City Hall. I spoke with some of the museums that had displays set up at the event. David Rutherford ventured out on the ice again to talk to some skaters. He also sat down with our resident historian to talk about some of the history you can see while skating on the canal.
