Dates of creation, revision and deletion: Note [generalNote]: To date, a number of Electric System accessions in Archives holdings have not been processed. These accessions include G82-12, A84-43, CR90-007, 94-050, and 96-015.<br><br> Administrative history / Biographical sketch Note Calgary's frontier streets were lit by candle and gas lamps until 1887 when Calgary Electric Lighting Company Limited opened the first electrical power generating plant in Calgary. Calgary's citizens were offered shares in the new company located (by present day description) half way between Center Street and 1st W on the south side of 7th Avenue, just east of Central United Church. The town of Calgary was one of the Company's first customers who ordered ten, 32 candlepower lights that stayed lit until 4:00 a.m. each day at a monthly cost of $5.00 per lamp. It is difficult to confirm where these first streetlights were located, but it is believed that they were on current-day Atlantic, Stephen, and McIntyre Avenues between Scarth and Drinkwater Streets. In November 1889 Calgary Electric Lighting Company Limited was challenged by the services of a new electrical supplier, Calgary Water Power Company Limited, owned by Peter Prince. For a number of years, aggressive competition between the two companies existed as they fought to offer the best electric contracts to The City. In 1893 Calgary Electric Lighting Company bowed to the pressure of competition and Calgary Water Power Company became the sole supplier of electricity for Calgary's public and private needs. City officials soon realized the value of having a municipally owned power plant, and with the support of citizen petitions, brought the issue before Council. On November 24, 1904, City Council gave first and second readings to Bylaw 562 that authorized The City to raise $60,000 for an electric light plant. One year later, the Atlantic Avenue Power Plant opened on the northeast corner of 9th Avenue and 5th Street West. Employees of the new steam power plant worked overlapping shifts so that the power plant could provide twenty-four hour electric service. The first city Electrician, Lionel White, managed the construction of the municipal power plant, while James McCall assumed responsibility as Chief Engineer and Superintendent. In 1905 The City assumed sole responsibility for streetlighting and by December, eighty new current arc lamps with 1,200 The City of Calgary, Corporate Records, Archives Page 3 ccg-2077 City of Calgary.

For more information regarding the City of Calgary Electric System administrative history, please link to the City of Calgary Archives homepage and click on the "fonds level descriptions" link. Scope and content The fonds consists of textual records, graphic records and sound recordings from 1884 to 1997 that reflect the administrative and operational history of The City of Calgary Electric System. The textual records include minutes, reports, ledgers, publications, newspaper articles, press clippings, public relations correspondence, Burton Commission reports, substation inspection and entry logbooks, network distribution maps, and Employee Record cards dating 1910 to 1969. The graphic records in this fonds include photoprints and negatives of employee events and staff retirement functions, substation and power plant construction, and daily operational activities such as streetlighting and electrical wiring repairs and the installation of underground electrical distribution by Electric System employees. Sound recordings include videotapes on staff training and orientation and cassette tapes of radio advertisements. Records have been arranged into the following series; Series I: History and Annual Reports; Series II: Public Relations; Series III: Operational Records and Reports; Series IV: Log Books and Ledgers; Series V: Employee Records; Series VI: Maps and Plans; Series VII: Photographs. Notes Title notes • Source of title proper: Title based on contents of the fonds. Physical condition Includes: 12,000 graphic images, 1000 microfiche, 300 plans/drawings, 20 audiotapes microfilm, 3 Beta U-Matic videotapes, 3 VHS videotapes, 4 artifacts. Immediate source of acquisition The records of the City of Calgary Electric System were held by the City of Calgary Electric System Library and Archives which was transferred in 1997 to its successor ENMAX. Many of the records were catalogued and it is unknown how other records were acquired by the Electric System Library; however, acquisitions likely occurred through unscheduled transfers directly from the various sections and divisions of the Electric System. It may be possible that records were housed at the Glenbow Archives during this time. Between 1983-1996 The City of Calgary Archives received a number of unscheduled accessions from various departments within the Electric System. In 2001, in accordance with the ENMAX Master Agreement with The City, Electric System records housed at ENMAX were appraised and a selection was repatriated by the City of Calgary Archives (see accession 2001-004).

  • Hillhurst Sunnyside
    Hillhurst Sunnyside walking tour map Take a walk through one of Calgary’s oldest residential communities. Visit historical homes, churches, parks, buildings and schools during this unique urban experience. Introduction A great place to be At over 100 years of age, Hillhurst-Sunnyside is one of Calgary’s oldest communities. Located in the northwest, it stretches east-west from Centre Street N. to 18A Street N.W., and north-south from the North Hill to the Bow River. A blend of old and new, Hillhurst-Sunnyside is a unique and coveted place to live and work. Here you’ll fi nd the Kensington shopping area, beautiful parks, rock gardens, river walkways, sandstone schools, historical buildings, corner grocery stores and passionate residents. As an introduction to the community’s past and present, this tour is designed to help you see how Hillhurst-Sunnyside has managed to retain its small-town feel within the larger city. Whether walking, biking, rollerblading or driving, you’ll get a glimpse of what makes this community a wonderful mix of the old and new as well as a great place to be. Hillhurst-Sunnyside is made up of three smaller communities. • Sunnyside (east of 10 Street N.W.) is a blend of single-family dwellings, modern high-density housing, neighbourhood corner stores and restaurants and walk-up apartment buildings. • Hillhurst (between 10 Street and 14 Street N.W.) combines commercial activity (the Kensington area along 10 Street and Kensington Road N.W.) with in-fi lls, reconditioned single-family dwellings and medium-density redevelopment. • Upper Hillhurst (between 14 Street and 18A Street N.W.) is predominantly an area of single-family dwellings and apartment blocks.

    INCORPORATED 1952 NUMBER 444 OCTOBER 1986 UPPER CANADA RAILWAY SOCIETY BOX 122 STATION "A" TORONTO, ONTARIO S&H 1009, ex-CNR 1009, after rebuilding and repainting at Hillsborough shop, April 19, 1986. S&H RSI 8208 leads a two-car train comprising a heavy• weight coach and a former CN arch roof car built in the mid-1930s (5200 series). OCTOBER 1986 3 Tourist Train Excursions sixum AN JMJKSBOKOIJGI l startup and History The origins of this tourist railroad in central New Brunswick lie in a combination of three major events: the closure of the Canadian Gypsum Co. wallboard plant in Hillsborough in 1980; the application by CN to abandon the 24 mile branch (the Albert Sub.) serving the plant; and the existence of a strong and determined rail buff group in the province. The closure of the wallboard plant, during a time of severe economic recession, led to the purchase of all of the gypsum company property by the Community Improvement Corporation in the name of the Province of New Brunswick, with a view to creating some employment opportunitles_.__I)uring this time, and even up until this day, CN in this area has been very co-operative in the attempt to create these opportunities, since the railway was facing major layoffs at the same time. The Federal Goyemment,^ through the Local Employment Assistance Program (LEAP), was also receptive to worthwhile proposals. With the groundwork laid and the existence of the Canadian Railroad Historical Association museum in Delson, Quebec providing a good supply of suitable steam locomotives and passenger cars, the work started.
