Artist on Scene by JESSICA GERGELY Winner of the Heritage Tourism Awareness Award 2001 Printed in Canada serving the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park VOL 4 NO. 5 Tuesday, June 22,2004 Artist on scene BY JESSICA GERGELY Framed artwork by interna­ tional artist/instructor Gail Adams hangs in the lobby, diner and gift shop at the Bayshore Inn and as you walk in the doors of the lobby you'll find her sit­ ting in a chair with a box of chalk pastel paints in her lap as she gently strokes the surface of a suede board transforming it into the face of a deer. "The expressions are so real in each wild animal's face," says Razia Suleman owner of the Bayshore Inn who noticed Adams work at a gift show in Edmonton. Suleman was so impressed with Adams' work that she wanted to display and sell it at the Bayshore Inn. "During the Edmonton gift show Razia saw my work and wanted me here," says Adams who will visit Waterton Park throughout the summer to paint PHOTO BY JESSICA GERGELY her North American and African wildlife masterpieces.

  • Floods in the Oldman River Valley at Lethbridge
    O ^ 0 .,_ ( FLOODS IN THE OLDMAN RIVER VALLEY AT LETHBRIDGE Alex Johnston Sir Alexander Gait Museum Lethbridge, Alberta MA INC GB 1989 1399.5 C3 '-r- 'H J64 1989 FLOODS IN THE OLDMAN RIVER VALLEY The Oldman River rises from an alpine lake on Mt. Lyall and flows through the foothilis to the plains of eastern Alberta, draining 6,238 sq. mi. and serving 125,000 people. Along with its principal tributaries, the Oldman River is dependant upon meltwater originating In the Rocky Mountains. Approximately 60 per cent of the Oldman's flow passes through the system from mid-May to Mid-July. The basin supplies water to nine of the province's 13 irrigation districts; two of those nine districts (the Lethbridge Northern and St. Mary's) account for nearly half of the 1.2 million acres of irrigated land in Alberta. The time of deposition of the higher terraces in the Oldman River valley at Lethbridge Is not known with certainty. But it is likely that basal sediments, such as those on which the original Fort Whoop-Up stood, began to be deposited in the late 1500s at the end of the Little Ice Age Climatic Episode [a post-Wisconsin period of mountain glacier-building called the Neoglaciation]. A warming trend at that time resulted in the release of snow and glacial meltwaters. The meltwaters, combined with increased spring rainfall, resultedZm higher flood stages, higher sediment loads, and increased deposition. An archaeological site, this one downriver from Lethbridge northeast of Coaldale, has yielded information on flooding of the Oldman River.

  • National Historic Sites in Alberta
    NATIONAL HISTORIC SITES IN ALBERTA Discover the Family of National Historic Sites in Alberta Who are we? We are the family of National Historic Sites,. Designated by the Minister of the Environment on the recommendation of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, we are places of national significance to all Canadians. There are over 900 of us, found in every province and territory across Canada. Each is unique and each tells its own compelling story. National Historic Sites in Alberta The Alberta branch of the family includes 59 National Historic Sites. We are as varied as the province itself. We are an outpost of the North-West Mounted Police, an early 20th century coalmine, and a park that contains the largest concentration of native rock art on the North American plains. A Shared Legacy The responsibility for caring for us is shared by many. Of the 59 sites in Alberta, only nine are owned by Parks Canada. Tire rest are owned by other levels of government, local organizations and businesses. Many continue in their original function - as an important public building, a grand hotel or a back country ski lodge. Many are heritage attractions and provide opportunities to learn and experience the past first hand. Come Visit the Family The following pages will introduce you to our family. Come for a visit. An adventure of discovery, learning and fun awaits you. Ride our trains, remember the feel of wet clay squishing through your fingers, mosey on up to the corral and watch cowboys roping calves, and much, much more.
