Olav Aaberg (1897-1994) was born in Norway, the third of eleven children. He graduated from University of Oslo as a land surveyor and engineer, then immigrated to Canada in 1927. After a brief time in Calgary, he moved to Edmonton, where he began work for Northern Alberta Railway in 1930. That year, he married Mabel Marshal (1909-2002). Olav painted watercolours starting in the 1940s, and after he retired in 1962 focused on oil paintings. His obituary states that he created hundreds of oils and portraits over the years, but was most proud of his scene of the Klondike Days Promenade. It took two years to complete, and was displayed in City Hall and other government buildings.
