Mayor Roper speaks about the relations between the two Edmontons over the years, his own visit to London and their local Rotary club, and provides some background on the history and current character of Edmonton, Alberta. He also proudly reports on the Edmonton annual exhibition, which has 'Klondike Days' as its theme this year celebrating the period of the Klondike gold rush.
