The City of Edmonton has "received a request from a PhD student of Anthropology at the University of Chicago who is interested in performing limited archaeological survey and excavation in Mill Creek Ravine Park (north) to locate and study the material remains of one of the first industrial areas of the city. She hopes to identify, map, and excavate one of the earliest meatpacking plants in the city (Vogel’s Meats, founded 1902) as well as a workman’s shantytown adjacent to the packing plant. She has already received a survey and excavation permit from the Archaeology Branch of the Albertan Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The permit is for work between June 20 and August 20, 2016. No trees or shrubs would be removed but some undergrowth would be cut back. As well, excavation may impact tree roots."
