That's the Price

“I was born in Michel in 1947 and my sister was born in Natal in later years. I grew up and was educated in Coleman Alberta. To watch this film was very heart- wrenching because the town I was born in no longer exists. I also had many friends from Michel/Natal who were later moved to Sparwood - so sad that so many lost their homes with so many memories.”

“ I was in this film as a young girl, well done documentary Michael, I look back and feel the same way I felt then, sorry for the older people but not sorry to see the pollution go and progress take over... in retrospect Kaser Resources was not such a bad company - their reclamation dept kept the trees growing and young kids earning money for thier education.. dont hear about the same nowdays, do you?”
