Three people on bikes and one man walking toward "the community apartments - veterans' housing in former Air Force buildings".

Bio/Historical Note: The Community Apartments, formerly H-Hut barracks located at the Saskatoon airport for Royal Canadian Air Force trainees during World War II, became the off-campus home of many University of Saskatchewan veterans. The huts came from the former No. 7 Initial Training School (ITS) and moved to 1130 Avenue A North (Avenue A and 33rd Street West). The apartments were controlled by the Saskatchewan Reconstruction Housing Corporation, closing ca. 1965.

Bio/Historical Note: Interesting tidbit:"Three University of Saskatchewan veterans and their families have received eviction notices from the Community Apartments for failing to apologize to the kitchen staff with whom they had lodged complaints."
