Note:

In 1946, Governor General of Canada Lord Alexander opened The Charles Camsell tuberculosis hospital in Edmonton. It was named after Charles Camsell (1876–1958), a geologist and map-maker dedicated to the exploration of Canada's North.
Between 1945 and 1967 the hospital operated an occupational therapy program for aboriginal patients. In 1990, the hospital donated a collection of over 400 arts and crafts items made by patients in the program to the Royal Alberta Museum.
