1946 - Scenes from Ottawa’s ByWard Market with an incredible amount of interesting details in the video clips. Music is «Seems Like Old Times» by Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians recorded in (how appropriately) 1946.

Thanks for the video. I'm from Brazil and felt a nostalgia. Current situation is quite different, and the citizens of Ottawa must support this trade. Here in southern Brazil not abandon old habits.

Too late now-- not really a local farmers' market now.

Love this! So.....in Ottawa in '46....no grocery stores much? I wonder if everybody hit the markets for vegetables and the butcher for meat. Done. 30s, 40s, 50s....favourite generations that warm m'heart. :) (born in '63, but love these times).

WOW. this is a very neat video. i'm a license plate collector so i often pay attention to plates on cars. the plates on the cars in these videos appear to be yellow with black characters. ontario used a yellow license plate with black characters in 1940 and an orangey yellow plate with black characters in 1942. all the other years around this time frame were dark blues, blacks, whites and silver. the plate shown on the prewar ford @ 0:12 looks to be the right shade of yellow for a 1940 license plate. hope this helps.

My mother would had been 4 years old at that time back in Golden Lake, after getting married and living in Gatineau, she would take us boys with her during the 60's, 70's down town and we would always walk by in the market, I can still recall the smell if the fish shop with the fish tank and the big Eel in it.

Good old days ? During these times japan got nuked, millions of people died during world war 2 lol. The old times are great yes, but not during that specific time.

@@limitless9462Your very very unintelligent this is Ottawa after ww2 it was the beggining of the largest economic boom ever as well as a unprecedented birth rate , you could buy a home , family's were important, social programs started making life easier and creates the middle class . Take a walk down there now youll see drug addicts laying on the street , people dont smile or talk like in here , familys are a thing of the past and moat people only care for themselves how in any way ia it better now ? Covid 19 ,20 year war in the middle east , opioid epidemic , rampant homelessness, inflation makes buying food like seen here almost impossible so people eat bad cheap food this stuff is now considered whole foods and is treated like a luxury now ...and ....well things i cant say but you know what i want to say and you also know ita true down deep .

Imagine Canadian troops coming back from WW II and seeing abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables

@gordhunter4872 3 жыл бұрын

No there was an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables BECAUSE the troops were home and the military were not buying it all up to send to them overseas. Just a year earlier all of these people would have been carrying ration books.

Crazy to see! I live in Gatineau Quebec not far from the Byward market. When this footage was shot my old house I live in would have just been built or in progress!

Nice footage. Would you consider re-rendering at 4:3 aspect ratio instead of widescreen, so it's not stretched horizontally?
