  • MEDIA FYI 2016 Calgary Stampede Parade Marshals: Jann Arden And
    July 4, 2016 MEDIA FYI 2016 Calgary Stampede Parade Marshals: Jann Arden and Paul Brandt CALGARY, ALBERTA – Calgary Stampede Parade Marshals occupy a prestigious place in the history of the Calgary Stampede. Among other things, they exemplify western heritage, values, and culture. 2016 Parade Marshals: Jann Arden and Paul Brandt In honour of our city’s “Year of Music” celebration, singer-songwriter Jann Arden and homegrown country music superstar Paul Brandt will lead the Calgary Stampede Parade. Fresh off hosting the 2016 Juno Awards, Calgary-born Arden is a singer, songwriter, broadcaster and author. Whether she is captivating audiences with her heartfelt music, entertaining them with her quick wit or sharing her written word in a boldly honest voice – Arden is a Canadian original – a brilliant multi-dimensional talent. Brandt, the most awarded male Canadian Country Music artist in history, had an unlikely journey of humble beginnings and big dreams to fame and stardom. A true Calgary Stampede friend, Brandt headlined the stage for all 10 nights of the 2012 Centennial TransAlta Grandstand Show. History of the Parade Marshal One of the Calgary Stampede’s oldest and proudest traditions is the role of Stampede Parade Marshal. The Parade Marshal not only leads the Parade, but is also a reflection of the values and culture of the community. The very first Calgary Stampede Parade in 1912 was led by 1,800 members of the Treaty 7 First Nations at the request of Stampede visionary, Guy Weadick. People marveled at the grandeur and splendor of seeing 1,800 First Nations people from five different tribes dressed in their traditional regalia.

    Une tradition de vigilance : le rôle du lieutenant-gouverneur de l’Alberta par Alfred Thomas Neitsch Actuellement, au Canada, une fausse idée circule voulant que le gouverneur général et les lieutenants-gouverneurs soient impuissants d’un point de vue politique. En réalité, ils possèdent des pouvoirs considérables, tant de nature juridique que politique. En utilisant la province de l’Alberta comme exemple, l’auteur aborde les façons dont divers lieutenants-gouverneurs ont exercé les pouvoirs qui leur ont été accordés en vertu des lois et des conventions. e lieutenant-gouverneur était censé jouer un double rôle, Le lieutenant-gouverneur constituait le pivot de l’ingérence c’est-à-dire celui de représentant du monarque, mais fédérale.
