- Description
- Three wagons, three teams of horses, and teamsters pose for this photograph near Kama Hill, near Schreiber Ontario. Building the Trans-Canada Highway involved a tremendous amount of physical labour. Horses pulled wagons filled with gravel and fill. The sideboards and bottom boards of the wagons could be removed to allow the gravel to be dumped where it was needed most. In 1934, the hourly minimum wage was raised to twenty-five cents an hour.
