This series contains records from the Edmonton Alberta 75th Municipal Anniversary Committee. It has been divided into two subseries:
"Ode to Alberta," written by Lil Wispinski, sung by the children of Malmo Elementary School, and produced by the City of Edmonton Alberta 75th Municipal Anniversary Committee.
This series includes material created by the Special Events Office, a centralized body created in the early 1980s to administer significant civic events. This was a departure from previous special events, which were arranged by organizing committees. The events reflected in these records include the openings of Police Headquarters and the new Convention Centre, the City’s 80th anniversary celebrations, the visit of Pope John Paul II, the military tattoo which resulted in the creation of the Mayors Chain of Office, and the Tribach Festival. The records also include material relating to the replacement of the Commission Board with the Office of the City Manager.
