  • Opportunities...Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor
    Opportunities...Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor Beverage Manufacturing Company Profiles Sector Overview Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor food and beverage processing industries, including the Ribstone Creek Brewery located in Edgerton, Alberta take advantage of uniquely favourable local conditions. Ribstone Creek Brewery recognizes the advantages provided to them by basing their business in an agricultural hub in rural Alberta. Many of their ingredients, including water, are all locally sourced to produce a fresh, desirable product. Ribstone Creek Brewery accesses their water from a large underground aquifer located in the area, that is naturally purified by a deep sand formation so it is a high quality ingredient. Co-Founder, Al Gordon says that “our water was first canned by the Village in 1967 as a centennial project, and is considered Alberta’s best, at least be Edgertonians.” Ribstone Creek Brewery is proof that a large-scale manufacturing facility can succeed, and thrive in rural Alberta. Gordon states that, “The most important component to the success of Ribstone Creek Brewery is that we have top class brewers and brew master, that goes without saying. Following that we have been very fortunate to enjoy support from the local community both as shareholders in the brewery as well as customers of our products. Equally as important is to mention the support of our media, be it paper & magazines or T.V. & radio, they all pick up on the local rural flair.” .

  • Hutterite Colonies and the Cultural Landscape: an Inventory of Selected Site Characteristics
    Hutterite Colonies and the Cultural Landscape: An Inventory of Selected Site Characteristics Simon M. Evans1 Adjunct Professor Department of Geography University of Calgary Peter Peller Head, Spatial and Numeric Data Services Libraries and Cultural Resources University of Calgary Abstract Hutterite colonies are a growing and sustainable element in the cultural landscape of the Canadian Prairies and Northern Great Plains of the United States. Their increasing numbers do something to offset the disappearance of the smallest service centers on the plains. While the diffusion of these communities has been well documented, the morphology of the settlements has been less well studied. New technology makes it possible to remotely evaluate selected characteristics of almost all Hutterite colonies. This paper describes the differences, with respect to orientation, layout and housing types, both between the four clan groups and within the Dariusleut and Schmiedeleut. Here as in many other aspects of Hutterite culture, there are signs of change and increasing diversity. Keywords Hutterite colonies; Cultural landscape; Google Earth; Orientation; Layout; Housing types; Dariusleut; Lehrerleut; Schmiedeleut; Great Plains Evans, Simon, and Peter Peller. 2016. “Hutterite Colonies and the Cultural Landscape: An Inventory of Selected Site Characteristics.” Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies 4(1):51-81. 52 Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies 4(1) Introduction Flying low from Calgary to Lethbridge, Alberta, and on to Great Falls, Montana, it is easy to pick out Hutterite colonies. Their relatively large and complex footprint is in marked contrast to that of neighbouring family farms. Colonies even show up clearly when viewed from the cruising altitude of a jet airliner.
