Today, we are taking a trip to the community of Millville, in the Codroy Valley on Newfoundland’s west coast. We’re going to have a chat with Edwin “Hockey” Gale, whose family started the carding mill that gave the town its name. Joining him is Megan Samms, who is a weaver and textile artist living and working in Millville near the house she grew up in, and where she learned to spin yarns and knit them together.
You can visit Megan's website and see some of her gorgeous work here:

Living Heritage is about people who are engaged in the heritage and culture sector, from museum
professionals and archivists, to tradition bearers and craftspeople - all those who keep history alive at the
community level. The show is a partnership between HeritageNL and CHMR Radio.
Theme music is Rythme Gitan by Latché Swing.
