  • Copyright City of Calgary
    PREFACE The City of Calgary Archives is a section of the City Clerk's Department. The Archives was established in 1981. The descriptive system currently in use was established in 1991. The Archives Society of Alberta has endorsed the use of the Bureau of Canadian Archivists' Rules for Archival Description as the standard of archival description to be used in Alberta's archival repositories. In acting upon the recommendations of the Society, the City of Calgary Archives will endeavour to use RAD whenever possible and to subsequently adopt new rules as they are announced by the Bureau. The focus of the City of Calgary Archives' descriptive system is the series level and, consequently, RAD has been adapted to meet the descriptive needs of that level. RAD will eventually be used to describe archival records at the fonds level. The City of Calgary Archives creates inventories of records of private agencies and individuals as the basic structural finding aid to private records. Private records include a broad range of material such as office records of elected municipal officials, records of boards and commissions funded in part or wholly by the City of Calgary, records of other organizations which function at the municipal level, as well as personal papers of individuals. All of these records are collected because of their close relationship to the records of the civic government, and are subject to formal donor agreements. The search pattern for information in private records is to translate inquiries into terms of type of activity, to link activity with agencies which are classified according to activity, to peruse the appropriate inventories to identify pertinent record series, and then to locate these series, or parts thereof, through the location register.

  • Stroke of a Brush Skiing's Art Culture Is Alive and Thriving Across the Globe
    7/4/2019 Stroke of a Brush - SkiCanada.org English (English) Go Skiing & Snowboarding Kids & Snow SnowOnline News Canadian Lift Passes Ski Areas SnowProud Stroke of a Brush Skiing’s art culture is alive and thriving across the globe STORY: S-Media BY: Michael Mastarciyan Ever wonder why the world’s biggest ski destinations are often full of art galleries? Here’s my theory: Skiers are passionate by their very nature; seeing the sport they love depicted on canvas, or in bronze, is a gratifying and sensual experience. World-class resorts such as Whistler and Mont-Tremblant, classic stops in France like Chamonix and Megeve, Colorado’s alpine jewels Aspen and Beaver Creek, Austria’s Kitzbuehel, and the culturally-rich smaller ski towns like Fernie, Revelstoke, and Whitewater on B.C.’s famed Powder Highway, are packed with galleries full of ski-inspired paintings, sculptures and photography, as well as other works of fine art that have little to do with ripping down mountains. Après ski activities in sophisticated towns like these are certainly not limited to swilling beer and chomping nachos at the local bar, pub or saloon. Beaver Creek hosts an annual art festival in August and is a prime location for gallery hopping after a day on the slopes in winter, an activity that’s becoming more and more popular with ski travelers in search of a soul-lifting experience that doesn’t involve boots, skis and poles. No less than 15 galleries can be found within walking distance (or a five-minute drive) from whichever run you call your last.
