Lost Hinterland Who's Who Beaver Segment Has Been Found

Hinterland Who's Who had four black and white segments from 1963, two of which had disappeared over the years. Recently however, the missing episode on the Beaver had been found.

By chance, the footage had been saved by a former CBC employee, who donated the film cans to the archives.

That made it easy for CBC archivist Colin Preston to dig them up when the CBC was asked to search for them.

“I just had to trot downstairs, pull the can out, look on the screen and there was the loon,” said Preston, who subsequently unearthed the beaver footage from the archives..

The search continues for the moose and gannet, along with the original French-language set.
