North of The River
Situated on Treaty Six territory, Edmonton is the most northerly metropolis in North America. It is located on the northern fringe of the Albertan prairies, and bisected north and south by the North Saskatchewan River. The indigenous Cree population were the original inhabitants of this land, which they named Amiskwaskahegan (Beaver Hills House) and used as a gathering place for thousands of years prior to the arrival of Europeans. Later, the area became a Hudson’s Bay trading outpost and slowly grew into a modern metropolis.
I’m from the north side of Edmonton, raised in the mid-1960s neighbourhood of Glengarry. Outside of a couple years in the early 1990’s, I’ve lived my whole life north of the river, and I’ve been photographing changing neighbourhoods since I first started in photography. These photographs are a visual journal of Edmonton’s north side, the majority of which were taken between 2003-2024.
