    Preserving and Promoting Western Heritage and Values The Calgary Exhibition & Stampede is a volunteer supported, not-for-profi t organization that preserves and promotes western heritage and values. Our organization began as an agricultural fair in 1886, but continues to grow and evolve in step with Calgary. TABLE OF CONTENTS Organizational Highlights 01 Financial Report 07 Consolidated Financial Statements 10 Stampede Leadership 24 Our Volunteers 26 Full-time Staff 40 Sponsors 42 2005 Calgary Stampede Event Champions 45 1 ORGANIZATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS The Calgary Exhibition & Stampede had a remarkable 2005. It was a year of special celebration and signifi cant achievement, a year of embracing the past while pushing ahead toward a bold, new future. Our entire organization – from the 2,200 volunteers and 1,600 employees, to our many sponsors and community partners – should look back with pride, and look ahead with excitement. A MEMORABLE CENTENNIAL With the history of the Stampede so entwined with the history of Alberta, it was natural for our organization to embrace the province’s Centennial with a full year of initiatives that celebrated western heritage and values. Among our many Centennial highlights, we: established the Calgary Stampede Western Legacy Awards that honoured Dr. Frits Pannekoek, Ryan Perez, and Roy and Lenore McLean for their unique contributions to our heritage; conducted a youth essay contest that saw Alyssa Wheeler, Meredith Pritchard and Beth Anna Heslop each earn a place at the front of the 2005 Stampede Parade; unveiled

We’re at her house in North Western Calgary. This is one of the days of the catastrophe in which the river flooded and much of the city has really been washed away. It’s been an awful catastrophe for many people. The date is the 27th of June 2013. So, Gail, thank you very much for agreeing to participate in this. I wonder whether you could begin by just telling us about your career, especially in respect to the oil sands, because I know you’ve had a very diverse career since you left. SIMPSON: Yes, well I would be happy to Peter. Thank you. PMB: Including where you were born, when you were born and where you went to school and so on? SIMPSON: Okay. Well, I was born in Edmonton, Alberta and haven’t strayed too much further away than that. I lived in Edmonton for about 30 years I guess, before I moved down to Calgary. I relocated here in 1997. So, I grew up in central Alberta and I went back to Edmonton after high school to take some further training and education.

My name is David Finch. Thank you so much for meeting with us today. BM: You’re quite welcome David. DF: Start by telling us where and when you were born? BM: I was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, 27th of February, 1929. DF: And what were your parents doing? BM: Well, I was adopted. My dad was a dentist, he brought me home and he said, well, if he’s good enough for me, he’s good enough for you. That was the words my mother got. His name was W. J. Mooney, he was Doc Mooney in Regina, a dentist. My mother at that time, and I say at that time, was Bessie Leonid??? Mooney. Then she died when I was three and my dad remarried, Esther Mooney who later became my mom to me, a great individual, great gal. My father then died three years later. So she was left in 1934 with myself and a sister and she raised the two of us on absolutely. .of course, doctor’s in those years had no money and she raised us on $60 a month. I remember the first raise from ‘34 was in ‘44 when the Canadian government, she got a $15 raise. So she’s sort of on the pedestal for me.

Examining Committee Liza Piper, University of Alberta Paul Voisey, University of Alberta Ian Urquhart, University of Alberta For Mom and Dad Abstract The following thesis explores the development of oil and gas resources in the province of Alberta between 1971 and 1985. At its broadest, this thesis uses the interaction of government, capital, and citizenry surrounding the exploitation of a non‐ renewable energy resource to examine the social side of resource development. These three actors approached oil and gas resources with their own ideologies, tactics, and goals. The relationships, disagreements, and debates between and among these groups provide a glimpse into the social nature of resource development in Alberta.

    Lougheed: Building a Dynasty and a Modern Alberta from the Ground Up

    LOUGHEED: BUILDING A DYNASTY AND A MODERN ALBERTA FROM THE GROUND UP Lee Richardson Charismatic and articulate, organized and well prepared, Peter Lougheed seemed destined to lead the Alberta Progressive Conservatives out of the wilderness and into the modern era. From a party that had no seats in the Legislature when he became its leader, he built a political dynasty that endures to this day. Not only did he build the modern Alberta, he was a compelling figure on the national stage. Lee Richardson, a close adviser and friend, shares this intimate profile of the Best Premier of the Last 40 Years. Aussi charismatique qu’éloquent, doué de grandes qualités d’organisation et de planification, Peter Lougheed était tout désigné pour faire passer les progressistes- conservateurs albertains de la ruralité à l’ère moderne. D’un parti qui ne détenait aucun siège à l’Assemblée législative lorsqu’il en a pris les commandes, il a constitué une dynastie politique dont l’influence reste aujourd’hui déterminante. Il a non seulement modernisé l’Alberta mais en a fait un acteur décisif de la scène nationale. Lee Richardson, qui fut toutes ces années son proche conseiller et ami, brosse un portrait intime du meilleur premier ministre provincial des 40 dernières années. he Dirty 30s were not kind to Alberta.
