Canadians have worked in very diverse work-spaces throughout the 20th century. This photographic exhibition gives the viewer a closer look at these spaces and, more importantly, offers a perspective on the ordinary people who work within them. These people were not selected because of their fame or name, but for the ways in which they are representative of Canada and its economy, whether they are at work outdoors, underground, in a factory or in the home. These photographs were produced for many reasons: as a tool of communication; as a means for the government to promote and administer its programs; as a way for industry to advertise its achievements and thereby demonstrate corporate pride; to enable ordinary citizens to produce an historical and cultural record of a subject of personal importance to them. 1, record 1, English, - On%20the%20Job%20%2D%20A%20Century%20of%20Canadians%20at%20Work

Les Canadiens ont travaillé dans des lieux très diversifiés au cours du XXe siècle. Cette exposition de photographies permet de se familiariser avec ces lieux et, surtout, met en valeur les gens qui y ont travaillé. Ces gens n'ont pas été choisis en raison de leur célébrité, mais bien parce qu'ils sont représentatifs du Canada et de son économie, et ce, qu'ils travaillent en plein air, sous terre, en usine ou à la maison. Ces photographies ont été produites pour de nombreuses raisons : comme outil de communication; comme moyen pour le gouvernement de promouvoir et d'administrer ses programmes; comme façon pour l'industrie de mettre en valeur ses réalisations et d'afficher sa fierté; pour permettre aux citoyens de produire un document historique et culturel sur un sujet important à leurs yeux. 1, record 1, French, - Au%20boulot%21%20%2D%20Un%20si%C3%A8cle%20de%20travail%20au%20Canada
