Colleen Brown's "Happy Love Song" (2011)

 BY EMIL TIEDEMANN

 IT just happened to be a coincidence that I should stumble upon this music video featuring Mayor Don Iveson, just days after he won the October 21st election. Of course, he was still a City Councillor when the video for Edmonton-based Colleen Brown's "Happy Love Song" was made (August 2011). 
Singer-songwriter Colleen Brown has performed at the Edmonton Folk Festival and
won the Alberta Emerging Artist Award in 2008. 

 "I had a lot of fun playing a bit role in the collaboration between ETS and Colleen Brown," Iveson wrote in his personal blog. "That bus was literally bouncing, and the acoustics were surprisingly good. Wonderful Edmonton talent on display."

 The video was also produced to help promote the new-&-improved ETS Trip Planner, and was filmed almost entirely aboard a moving city bus.  

 "Happy Love Song" was featured on Brown's third album, 2011's Dirt. Watch the video below; and we've also posted the "Behind the Scenes" clip showing how the video was made.

Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village By Emil Tiedemann From 1892  to 1930, many Ukrainian Canadians settled in central Alberta, and generations of those early settlers’ families have remained here more than a century later.  Some of the costumed historical interpreters at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, just outside of Edmonton. It’s those early years that are brought back to life at the award-winning Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village , a giant living museum that uses costumed historical interpreters to recreate early pioneer settlements on a site not far out of city limits (near Elk Island Park on the Yellowhead Highway).  This open-air attraction opened in 1974, technically as part of nearby Lamont County , on the shores of Goose Lake. It remains a popular destination for families and young students.  The Village's Luzan Grocery. There are dozens of restored historical structures at the Village, including Kiew Hall, Kolody Sawmill, Luzan Groce
