Full Title - Made-in-Alberta - Chapter 11: Ep. 1 "Handmade Christmas"

Handmade Christmas
Some Albertans choose to use Christmas discretionary cash to "vote with their dollars" for trends they'd like to see year round.

Shopping Local
Buying locally manufactured products saves lots of energy in transportation, but that's just where the good value begins. Albertans make everything from mugs to moccasins, cheese to chesterfields. Where do we find "made-in-Alberta" products, and why are they such a great bargain?

Made-in-Alberta
Energy, water and climate, these are hot topics for the 21st Century. With conventional fuel reserves running out, water tables running low, and global temperatures running high, many Albertans are finding new energy solutions. Made-in-Alberta brings their stories to community television and the world wide web with this innovative new series.
