GOVERNMENT NOTICES Culture Decisions on Geographical Names (Historical Resources Act) Notice is hereby given that pursuant to Section 18, Subsection 3 of the Historical Resources Act the following decisions on geographical names were duly authorized on July 17, 2006. APPROVED – ALTERED APPLICATION (CHANGE OF LOCATION) NTS Map Sheet 82 J/14 – “Spray Lakes Reservoir” Mount Bogart (mountain) Located at: ATS: W31-22-9-W5 and SE36-22-10-W5 (50° 54’ 41” N & 115° 14’ 36” W) Approximately 18 km SSE of Canmore town centre. NOT ATS: NE31, NW32-22-9-W5 (50° 55′ 10″ N & 115° 13′ 31″ W) This 3,140 metre (10,300’) mountain is named for Donaldson Bogart Dowling, who was a geologist with the Geological Survey of Canada. He was an assistant to George - 693 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, JUNE 15, 2012 Mercer Dawson in the 1880s and worked with the survey until the 1920s. Employed as a topographer, he became known as geologist. He identified the resource potential of Manitoba’s Flin-Flon district, but he is most known for his geological mapping of western Canada’s coal deposits and his discovery of artesian water in southern Alberta. According to the 1928 Geographic Board of Canada publication Place Names of Alberta, the mountain was named in 1904. The name appears to have been approved for mapping purposes in late 1927 or early 1928. In 1954, the Army Survey Establishment produced the 1:50:000 Map Sheet for the region, the name was incorrectly applied to a mountain at 50° 55’ 10” N & 115° 13’ 31” W (approximately 1.5 km northeast of the actual location. All other official maps and sources continued to place the name on the mountain located at 50° 54’ 41” N & 115° 14’ 36” W. In 2006, the province rectified the error at the request of members of the public and the Geographical Names Board of Canada. - 694 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, JUNE 15, 2012 APPROVED NTS Map Sheet 82 O/03 – “Canmore” Grant MacEwan Peak (peak) Located at: ATS: NE12-24-9-W5 (50° 01’ 58” N & 115° 07’ 17” W) Approximately 4 km southeast of Exshaw The name commemorates John Walter Grant MacEwan. Grant MacEwan was born in 1902 near Brandon, MB and grew up near Melfort, SK. He graduated from the Ontario Agricultural College in 1926 and received a BSA from the University of Toronto and a MS from Iowa State University. He was a professor of animal husbandry at the University of Saskatchewan and Dean of Agriculture at the University of Manitoba. A strong promoter of public education for farmers, he wrote four books and regular newspaper columns on agricultural sciences and animal husbandry, notably for the Western Producer newspaper. He retired from academia and moved to Calgary where he became actively involved in politics. He was a city alderman from 1953 to 1958 and represented Calgary as a Member of the Legislative Assembly from 1955 to 1959, serving as leader of the Alberta Liberal Party and leader of the Official Opposition in 1958 and 1959. Defeated in the 1959 election, he resigned the party leadership in 1960. He was re-elected to Calgary City Council, serving as alderman from 1959 to 1963 and as Mayor of Calgary from 1963 to 1965. In December 1965, he was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Alberta and was sworn into office in January 1966. He served two terms in that role, being reappointed in 1970 and retiring in 1974. In his retirement, Grant MacEwan lectured at Olds College and the University of Calgary. He continued to write natural history and agricultural science columns for newspapers and he wrote numerous books on Western Canadian and Alberta history. These books were extremely popular and introduced many people to Alberta’s history. Grant MacEwan passed away in 2000 at 97 years of age. - 695 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, JUNE 15, 2012 APPROVED – ALTERED APPLICATION (CHANGE OF SPELLING) NTS Map Sheet 83 N/09 – “Grouard” Travers Creek (creek) NOT Traverse Creek (creek) Located: ATS: 19-74-15-W5 to NW24-75-15-W5 (55° 25’ 28” N & 116° 18’ 23” W to 55° 31’ 01” W & 116° 11’ 39” N) Flows east into Lesser Slave Lake, approximately 3 km east of Grouard. This name was recorded as both Travers Creek and Traverse Creek in the 1907 field notes of H. W. Selby, Dominion Land Survey. The name was adopted for mapping purposes as “Traverse Creek” on the assumption the creek was named for the surveying term “traverse,” which is used to describe the distance covered in a particular period of time. Field research in the late-1980s and early-2000s found that - 696 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, JUNE 15, 2012 the local population maintained that the creek was named for the Travers family, who had been resident in the region prior to the arrival of Selby’s surveying party. Further research found that the creek ran through land owned by Travers family and that on some pages of Selby’s field notes, the final “e” in Traverse had been crossed out. Local residents requested that the spelling of the name be changed to “Travers” in honour of this prominent, early local family. The Travers family was from Hertfordshire, England. In 1894, Oliver Travers arrived in Canada, settling temporarily in Manitoba. He was joined by his brother Sidney in 1896/7. The two brothers hired onto the Helpman O’Brien Party, an exploration expedition heading overland to the Klondike from Edmonton.
