  • EARLIER YEARS of the EDMONTON CENTRE Royal Astronomical Society of Canada E
    "The Earlier Y ears of the Edm onton Centre" R oyal Astronomical Soci ety of Canada E. S. Keeping THE EARLIER YEARS OF THE EDMONTON CENTRE Royal Astronomical Society of Canada E. S. Keeping The Edmonton Centre came into existence in 1932, mainly because of the interest and enthusiasm of Dr. J. W. Campbell, Professor of Mathematics at this University. His special field was Mechanics and Astronomy and for many years he gave a course on general descriptive astronomy. At that time the R.A.S.C. was about 30 years old, and was expanding vigorously under the leadership of Dr. Chant, the grand old man of Canadian astronomy. Starting in Toronto, new centres were formed in Ottawa, Peterborough, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Regina, Guelph, Victoria, Montreal, London and Vancouver, all before Edmonton, although some of these subsequently died out. There are now seventeen centres across Canada, from Victoria to St. John's, Newfoundland. A preliminary meeting was held in the Arts Building of the University in January 1932, at which Dr. Campbell explained that we would need 50 members to start a new Centre. In February a petition, with the necessary number of signatures, was forwarded to head office in Toronto, and in March the authorization was granted. That same month officers were elected and a constitu­ tion and by-laws were drawn up. The first president was naturally Dr. Campbell. I was vice-president, and Dr. E. H. Gowan of the Physics Department was Treasurer. Few, if any, of the founding members, except myself, still belong to the centre. The member­ ship fee at that time was $2.00 per year, for which one obtained the Handbook and ten issues of the Journal.

  • The Banff Centre Annual Report
    The Banff Centre Annual Report April 2007 - March 2008 The Banff Centre Annual Report Inspiring Creativity April 2007 - March 2008 Message from the Board Chair and the President Creativity and innovation will drive Alberta and Canada’s future. For 75 years, The Banff Centre has supported healthy communities and fuelled our economy by inspiring creativity and fostering innovation. Our multidisciplinary programs provoke thought, spark debate, and embrace new ideas. In doing so, they nurture tomorrow’s artists and leaders and advance our understanding of the world. The Banff Centre’s programs attract exceptional artists and thinkers, and support the creation and presentation of new performance and art works. By encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, we foster applied research and the development of innovative processes and products within cultural industries. Our Leadership Development programming explores new methodologies, informed by artistic practice and by the Centre’s inspirational location. Our Mountain Culture programs and events celebrate our human connection to mountain landscapes and explore solutions to global environmental concerns. During 2007-08, the Centre completed the first project in our transformational Banff Centre Revitalization Project. Thanks to significant support from the Governments of Alberta and Canada, and generous donations from corporate, private, and foundation supporters, the Campaign for The Banff Centre exceeded our Phase One Goal, raising $122.2 million in support of new facilities and programming and scholarship endowments. The Banff Centre’s focus on the future in 2007-08 did not compromise our attention on the present. The Centre continued to deliver exceptional programming, consistently achieving high participant satisfaction ratings. We carefully stewarded our resources, and for the sixth consecutive year the Centre achieved a positive financial year end, enabling us to deploy our annual operating contingency funds to capital maintenance priorities.

Hube University of Alberta Electronic Mail: [email protected] Brian Martin The King’s University College Alister Ling Edmonton Centre Donald Hladiuk Calgary Centre Electronic Mail: [email protected] Mike Mazur University of Calgary and Richard Spalding Sandia Laboratories Electronic Mail: [email protected] (Received January 21, 2003; revised August 6, 2003) Abstract. A bright fireball was observed from central and southern Alberta in the early evening of January 25, 2001 (January 26 UT). The event was recorded with three all-sky video cameras in and near Edmonton, on one video camera located in Calgary, and by many visual observers. Visual and taped observations indicate an agreement of a duration of 2 to 4 1/2 seconds. There were several reports of sonic booms. The peak brightness was comparable to the Full Moon. Analysis of all available data indicates that a meteorite fell near Big Valley, Alberta, although several field searches failed to recover any fragments. Improvements to equipment and methods of analysis will improve the chance of recovering meteorites in future using all-sky cameras and refined astrometric measurement techniques. Résumé. Un bolide brilliant a été observé le soir du 25 janvier 2001 (26 janvier, temps universel) du centre et du sud de l’Alberta. L’événement a été enregistré par trois appareils vidéo captant tout le ciel visible des environs d’Edmonton, par un appareil à Calgary, ainsi que par maints observateurs visuels.
