The Rise and Fall of One-Industry Towns in Northern Canada

Greg Marchildon interviews Steven High on the rise and fall of Sturgeon Falls in Northern Ontario. His book One Job Town: Work, Belonging, and Betrayal in Northern Ontario explores the nature of the one-industry (or the one-resource) town that has been so much a part of Canadian history.
