Introducing Greetings from 1975: The Calgary Time Capsule
In the past 50 years, hundreds of thousands of Calgarians have walked past a time capsule hidden inside a work of public art in the city’s Plus 15 without even knowing it was there. In our upcoming podcast series, Greetings from 1975: The Calgary Time Capsule, host Peter Brown uncovers the story behind the capsule and explores its fascinating contents.
The time capsule holds thousands of nominations from a 1975 contest to name Calgary’s “Citizen of the Century,” along with letters and drawings from school children, local organizations and members of the public. Through the podcast, Peter shares some of the most surprising and entertaining stories behind the nominations — from beloved zookeepers, to pancake legends, to mysterious sculptures.
This new six-part podcast series launches on April 14, 2025. Watch the official trailer now and get ready for a surprising, heartfelt and sometimes hilarious journey into Calgary’s past!
