Question Number 47
my grandfather, Ralph R. Couper, worked for the Power Plant from the time he arrived in Edmonton, about 1915 until his retirement about 1960. he also was involved with the Metropolitan United Church choir, being the conductor and organist. where could i find pictures of the places he was involved in?
The Provincial Archives of Alberta holds several photographs of Metropolitan (Methodist) United Church, including two photographs of the choir from 1951 (WS1007/1 and /2).
It was not, however, clear from your inquiry in which Edmonton-area power plant your Grandfather worked. The Provincial Archives holds a few photographs of different plants. As these were all operated by the municipally-owned Epcor, you may wish to contact the:
