Launched in 2013, the Edmonton City as Museum Project (ECAMP) is an initiative of the Edmonton Heritage Council exploring the history of our city through story.
Featured Story
Clock In: Tamisan and Marjorie
Working at the same place as your mom can be a privilege and a pain. Tamisan Bencz-Knight is the Manager of Strategic Relationships & Partnerships at Edmonton’s Food Bank. Marjorie Bencz is the Executive Director, a member of the Order of Canada, and her mom. In this episode of Clock In, host Jay Gilday talks to Tamisan and Marjorie about putting food and hope on tables, following in someone’s footsteps, and what kind of team it takes to meet a crisis head on.
Explore the stories that connect us, the stories that divide us, and the stories that nurture an appreciation of our differences as Edmontonians.

The picket line and the podcast feed
On November 10, we’re dropping the first two episodes of Clock In – An ECAMP Podcast. It’s one of the last pieces of our year exploring labour history in Edmonton. And it was born from a song written by Jay Gilday: musician, postal worker, and host of the show.
