Glenbow Archives, RCT-881-51 Turner Valley Oral History Project, 1990-1992 Archie Stephen "Bud" Widney, interviewed by David Finch, November 24, 1992 Tape 1 Side 1 000 Biographical information about Archie Stephen "Bud" Widney. He was born in British Columbia while his father was drilling a well in the lower mainland. It took about three years to drill that well and in the end it was dry. 020 His father, Roy Widney, got the job drilling in B.C. when he left Turner Valley and was on his way back to California and ran into a man in Vancouver that was looking for someone to drill. 030 Roy Widney was born in Dry Run, Pennsylvania and as the second youngest child he was sent off to look for work elsewhere as there was no work for him on the small farm. He ended up in Bakersfield, California and he learned to drill with cable tool rigs. 050 In 1910 or 1911, he went from California up to Alberta to get free CPR land for himself and his friends. By the time he scouted it out, there was no good land left. In a bar in Calgary, the longest bar he had ever seen, he ran into someone looking for men to drill wells. He started drilling the Southern Alberta No. 1 well at the same time that Calgary Petroleum Products No. 1 was drilling. He was not accustomed to the cold winter and "nearly froze to death." Once they hit naphtha, they refined it in a crude separator and sent it into Okotoks by barrel.

Soils and Landscapes of the Front Ranges, Foothills, and Great Plains. Field Trip Guide. Canadian Society of Soil Science Annual Meeting, Banff, Alberta May 2014. 18 p. 2 3 Banff Park In the fall of 1883, three Canadian Pacific Railway construction workers stumbled across a cave containing hot springs on the eastern slopes of Alberta's Rocky Mountains. From that humble beginning was born Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and the world's third. Spanning 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 square miles) of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers, Banff National Park is one of the world's premier destination spots. In Banff’s early years, The Canadian Pacific Railway built the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracted tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened.
