Maureen Kubinec, Minister of Culture and Tourism Notice of Intent to Designate a Provincial Historic Resource (Historical Resources Act) File: Des. 2321 Notice is hereby given that sixty days from the date of service of this Notice and its publication in Alberta Gazette, the Minister of Culture intends to make an Order that the site known as the: Canadian Northern Railway Roundhouse, together with the land legally described as: Plan 031 3132 Block 3 Lot 3 Excepting thereout all mines and minerals THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, FEBRUARY 28, 2015 and municipally located in the Town of Hanna, Alberta be designated as a Provincial Historic Resource under section 20 of the Historical Resources Act, RSA 2000 cH-9. The reasons for the designation are as follows: The Canadian Northern Railway Roundhouse is significant for its association with the Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR) and as an example of essential railway divisional point infrastructure and architecture. The roundhouse is one of the most significant, historic railway structures in Alberta. The roundhouse site provides evidence of the role of railway divisional points, which were integral parts of the railway network. Between 1912 and 1914, the CNoR built a line between Saskatoon and Calgary and established Hanna as a divisional point. The Hanna divisional point possessed facilities essential to the CNoR’s operations, such as a roundhouse, turntable and rail yard; buildings for storage of fuel, tools and equipment; water tower; and a nearby dam and reservoir. All were located in a long and narrow strip of land alongside the main line. Although much of the track has been removed and structures demolished, evidence of these features can be found within the current roundhouse property. Surface scarring and extant switches show track location and orientation, and foundations show the location of the water tower, sand tower and other buildings. These elements, along with the roundhouse and turntable, remain as evidence of typical divisional point infrastructure and organization. The roundhouse and turntable at the western edge of the site are rare examples of once essential railway infrastructure. The roundhouse, built in 1913, is designed to maximise the confined railyard space and was used for the short-term storage and maintenance of steam locomotives. The circular turntable, consisting of a concrete depression with a pivot-mounted steel bridge, allowed locomotives to be turned in a very small space. The roundhouse, built with concrete and brick exterior walls and a wooden roof, is structurally and stylistically similar to roundhouses built by the CNoR and other North American railways. The roundhouse’s iconic semi-circular or fan shape with a long, curved rear wall and shorter, curved front is the result of the structure wrapping around the turntable. Large doors on the front elevation provide access to the ten locomotive stalls. The roundhouse’s interior consists of a large open space, split in two, five-stall halves by a firewall. A series of concentric wooden joists support the roof, which is punctuated by a series of square openings for venting locomotive smokestacks. Lighting for the cavernous space is provided by electric lights suspended from the ceiling and natural light through the tall, multi-paned windows across the rear wall and a row of clerestory windows. A rectangular, concrete structure containing the boiler room and a machine shop, part of the original design, projects from the rear of the roundhouse. Architectural evidence of the changing railway technology is present at the site. Ever- increasing locomotive size resulted in the construction of a longer, five-stall, brick addition in the 1920s, of which only remnants still remain. In 1943, a portion of the roof was raised, resulting in the tiered roof, clerestory windows and the brick construction of the upper walls. Despite the many changes to the building, it, along with most other roundhouses across Canada, became obsolete in the post-war period. The railway company, now Canadian National Railways, abandoned the roundhouse in 1961. After so many decades of use by the railways, the lands surrounding the - 130 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, FEBRUARY 28, 2015 roundhouse likely contain debris and industrial archeological artifacts that would provide further evidence of the site’s use and evolving railway tools and technology. Today, the roundhouse at Hanna is the most intact example of this integral, historic railway infrastructure in Alberta, one of the best examples in western Canada and one of the few remaining examples in the country. It is therefore considered that the preservation and protection of the resource is in the public interest. Dated this 28th day of January, A.D. 2015. David Link, Assistant Deputy Minister Heritage Division Energy Production Allocation Unit Agreement (Mines and Minerals Act) Notice is hereby given, pursuant to section 102 of the Mines and Minerals Act, that the Minister of Energy on behalf of the Crown has executed counterparts of the agreement entitled “Production Allocation Unit Agreement – Wildmere General Petroleum Agreement No. 1” and that the Unit became effective on September 1, 2014. - 131 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, FEBRUARY 28, 2015 - 132 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, FEBRUARY 28, 2015 - 133 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, FEBRUARY 28, 2015 - 134 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, FEBRUARY 28, 2015 Infrastructure Contract Increases Approved Pursuant to Treasury Board Directive 02/2005 Contract: Claresholm 7-12 – Willow Creek Composite High School Modernization.

  • The Urbanization of the Canadian Prairies, 1871-1916
    The Urbanization of the Canadian Prairies, 1871-1916 by Paul VOISEY* Canadian historians mistakenly have often suggested that the settle­ ment of the three prairie provinces was very much a rural affair. In truth, one third of the pioneers who headed West before 1916 found themselves living, not on the farm, but in the country villages, the bustling rail towns, and the fast-rising cities that sprang from the prairie. Although many of these urban places 1 were among the fastest growing cities in Canadian history, little is known about their development. Basic questions con­ cerning their founding, location, growth, size, and function remain un­ answered. An examination of these processes, however, quickly reveals that geography alone cannot explain the prairie urban pattern. The ac­ tivities of railway companies and those individuals who stood to gain most by urban growth-real estate speculators, construction contractors, mer­ chants -were equally important in determining the development of prairie urban centres. High property qualifications for public office made it easy for such individuals to dominate city hall and their collective promotional skill often shaped the destiny of their towns. Before 1870 the only commercial centres in the West were scattered Hudson's Bay Company posts. Managed by a few fur traders, they could scarcely claim urban stature and only the two largest would become im­ portant in the agricultural age: Fort Edmonton on the North Saskatchewan River had a population of about 200, while another 1,000 lived near Fort Garry (Winnipeg) at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. 2 The early 1870's brought a trickle of settlers to the West and Winnipeg de­ veloped as an agricultural centre.

    ARMING RANCHING AND SOCIAL CONDITIONS IN WESTERN ANADA ii II 1 arming, Ranching and Social Conditions in Western Canada A series of articles written by practical men on subjects of interest to those look- ing to better their present condition Issued by GENERAL PASSENGER DEPARTMENT GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAILWAY WINNIPEG, MANITOBA SIXTH EDITION, JUNE. 191 2 Soil Conditions along the Grand Trunk Pacific BY PROFESSOR THOMAS SHAW Staff contributor to the "Orange Judd Farmer" publications. Member of the faculty of the Minnesota Experimental Station and Agricultural College. Author of standard text books on " Soils " and an acknowledged authority in agriculture. Formerly professor at the Ontario Agricultural College. The Grand Trunk Pacific is virtually a continuation of the great transcontinental line which extends from Halifax on the Atlantic to Winnipeg. Beginning, there- fore, at Winnipeg, it bears a little to the north of west to Edmonton, which it has already entered. From Ed- monton it will extend to the north and west until it reaches Prince Rupert on the Pacific. From Winnipeg to Edmonton is 793 miles. It is of the soil and agricultural conditions along this part of the road that this paper will treat. In addition to the homestead lands are millions and millions of acres that are held by companies and indi- viduals, but now thrown upon the market awaiting pur- chasers. In some instances these lands are superior in character to some of the homestead lands, but in other instances that is not true of them. Of course, those who bought them thought them better or they would not have purchased them on speculation, but in this matter their judgment was not always correct.

  • The John Snow Residence and Studio
    Historic Place: THE JOHN SNOW RESIDENCE AND STUDIO Other Names: John Snow Residence John Snow Residence/Studio Location: Calgary Built: 1912 To 1912 Designation Status: Provincial Historic Resource Date of Designation: 2003/07/21 Object Number: 4665-0841 Related Listing(s): 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Description of Historic Place: The John Snow Residence and Studio is a two- storey home located on a portion of a single lot in the Mount Royal district of southern Calgary. The building was constructed in 1912 and features a hipped roof, front verandah, and a later Maxwell Bates designed one-storey wood frame addition at the back of the house. Heritage Value: The heritage value of the John Snow Residence and Studio lies in its association with artist John H. Snow and its connection to the establishment and development of Calgary's Mount Royal district. John H. Snow is a renowned Alberta artist, famed for his modern, expressionistic oeuvre of paintings, sculptures, and lithographs. A banker by trade, Snow began his artistic career in earnest following his service as a navigator during the Second World War. Between 1946 and 1948, he studied under famed Alberta artist and architect Maxwell Bates at the Provincial Institute of Technology. In 1951, he purchased the house that now bears his name; two years later, he acquired two lithographic presses and some limestone blocks from the Western Lithographic and Printing Company and installed them in the basement. Snow often collaborated in his lithographic works with Bates, a close friend and colleague who designed the studio addition at the rear of Snow's home.

Ninety seven immigrants, the conductor and the locomotive fire­ man and, two days later, a curious onlooker, succumbed, carrying the death toll up to an even one hundred. The passengers had come from Europe on the salling vessel "Neckar", disembarked at Quebec, and were ferried to Levis where they were loaded on the ill-fated train. which consisted of two baggage cars, seven cars normally used for produce but tem­ porarily fitted up for passengers, a second-class coach and a brake van. The train was pulled by the 4-4-0 locomotiv .. "HAM", No. 168 of the G. T. R .. a product of the works of D.C.Gunn at Hamilton. Special trains had depleted the supply of engine- and train-crew at Richmond, the intermediate divisional point between Levis and Montreal, and the locomotive foreman persuaded Will­ iam Burney, a newly-promoted engine driver. to take the train to Montreal, even though he had never operated a locomotive over the section. Conductor. fireman and brakeman completed the crew. Approaching the Richelieu River bridge between St. Hilaire and Beloeil at about 1 :15 AM, the train failed to make a mandat­ ory stop at the east end of the bridge, provided for in the Company rules.
