Department of History UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA A THESIS Submitted to the University of Alberta in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts. Edmonton, Alberta. April, 1935. GOAT OF ARMS OF CALGARY The upper third of the shield shows the Rockies. The lower two-thirds bears the Red Gross of St. George, mounted by the Maple Leaf which again is inset by a Buffalo Bull. The supporters, a Horse and Steer, represent the wealth of Calgary. The Crest shows the Royal Crown (a sign of loyalty), and a Sunburst. Below are the Rose, the Thistle and the Shamrock, declaring the ancestry of Calgary which was founded in 1882, and in 1894 received her City Charter.

  • James Short Park and Parkade
    JAMES SHORT PARK AND PARKADE 1.0 FACILITY 1.1 Description The James Short Park and Parkade (115–4 Av SW) is a multipurpose facility that comprises an underground parking garage, a surface-level park, and Plus-15 connections to Sun Life Plaza (112–4 Av SW), TransCanada Tower (450–1 St SW), and the Suncor Energy Centre East Tower (111–5 Av SW). The parkade was designed by Calgary architect Fred Valentine, and it was officially opened on December 3, 1990. The Calgary Parks Foundation developed James Short Park, and it was dedicated on June 20, 1991. The following inscription on the dedication plaque explains the park’s name: Dedicated in recognition of James Short, K. C., who came to Calgary from Ontario in 1889, was principal of Central School before becoming a prominent lawyer and long-term member of the Calgary School Board. Located on this site, the city’s first high school and first normal school for the instruction of teachers was renamed after him in 1938. 1.2 Development history This block, once the site of James Short School, was scheduled for urban renewal in 1966. To address downtown parking needs, the Greyhound terminal that opened in 1972 was built to accommodate a five-storey parking structure above it, although this was never built. City council initially approved park development for this block in 1973, but The City’s plans competed with the federal government’s aspiration to build a new federal complex on the site. (In the event, the project—the Harry Hays Building—was built in nearby Chinatown.) The land for James Short Park was assembled in the 1980s, and the James Short School cupola, which had been retained when James Short School was demolished, was moved onto the site and mounted on a pedestal.For all the time the cupola had been fixed atop the school, and in all the years it had been placed in storage or on display on Prince’s Island, it had no clock mechanism.
