The difference of a single word – welfare versus work – led through selected events in the history of social work where similar differences led to disputes about important matters. The themes of the dispute are embedded in the Western Tradition with the emergence of social work and its development at the focal point for addressing the consequences described as a ‘painful disorientation generated at the intersections where cultural values clash.’ In early 1966, the University of Calgary was selected as the site for Alberta’s graduate level social work program following a grant and volunteers from the Calgary Junior League.

  • History Book II
    Rotary Club of Calgary West (Building a Strong Foundation) Club History From 1992 to 2007 Again we owe Ron Staughton a large Calgary West vote of thanks for organizing the past president’s history reports for 1992 to 2007. And also for making up two of the missing reports. Going forward, each immediate past president will prepare a summary of their year and it will be added to the history on our website. Rotary Club of Calgary West Next 15 years of Service & Achievement 1992 - 2006 Introduction When I’d completed my 25 year history of the Rotary Club of Calgary West in 1992 I joked that after that rather Herculean task the Club wouldn’t get another history from me until another 25 years had elapsed. Two years ago however I was approached by Jim Willson who suggested that I produce a 10 year update but that this time to lighten the load he would undertake to co-opt all the past presidents to write up their own year. Easily swayed and obliging as I am in a good cause I agreed. After I had agreed and launched into the task I realized that one President had absconded in the 1996-1997 year and the immediate past president had moved away without access to our records. Thus I had two presidential years to write up myself! It was after making some progress on those reports that Jim moved the goal posts on me by suggesting we add three more years to bring us up to Rotary International’s Centennial year.

  • Social History of Elbow Park
    Social History of Elbow Park 1. Introduction Elbow Park began its history as an upper middle class suburb of Calgary, one of many neighbourhoods created by the explosive growth of the city shortly before World War One. Although most of the area comprising modern Elbow Park was homesteaded in the early 1880s, it was left undeveloped until 1907. The City of Calgary annexed the area that year, and real estate developer Freddy Lowes and his associates bought and surveyed it. Lowes intended to create an exclusive residential suburb with spacious lots and lovely homes, situated on the pleasant banks of the Elbow River. The first few houses were built in 1909, including Lowes’ own residence. Construction began in earnest the following year. The boom in Calgary was short lived and ended with World War One. By then the neighbourhood of Elbow Park was firmly established as one of the city’s first purpose designed residential suburbs and one of the last to be built before the war. This is a social history of Elbow Park. In its simplest terms, the social history of a place can be defined as the story of the people who lived there. It can uncover historically significant individuals who resided in the neighbourhood. It can try to understand the demographic character of the residents: how long they lived there, their age, the size of their families, their income, or their occupations. It can elucidate aspects of their culture, lifestyle, religious and political beliefs and outlook on the world. This study documents the social character of Elbow Park through its demographics and their change over time, and provides a biographical overview of its residents.
