  • It Is an Exciting Time to Join Lougheed House As We Continue to Grow As a Cultural Hub for Calgary. We Are Evolving Our Organiza
    It is an exciting time to join Lougheed House as we continue to grow as a cultural hub for Calgary. We are evolving our organization and are looking for an individual interested in being a part of this journey. Lougheed House was built in 1891 and is a Provincial and National Historic Site. Designed by Ottawa architect James R. Bowes for Senator James and Isabella Lougheed, it is one of the earliest surviving mansions of its kind on the Canadian prairies today. Located in the Beltline district of Calgary amid several acres of heritage gardens and green space, the House is also an accredited museum and significant Calgary landmark. It features a regular exhibition program, and hosts events, tours, and learning opportunities for visitors of all ages. COMPANY NAME: Lougheed House Conservation Society POSITION TITLE: Digital Exhibit Coordinator REPORTS TO: Curator, Lougheed House PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Counted among the many Anglo-Métis, or Countryborn, descendants of Scottish or English fur traders and local First Nations women, the Hardisty family rose to prominence as fur traders and officers at some of the earliest Hudson’s Bay Company forts established throughout Canada. Geographically, politically, and economically, the influence of several generations of Hardistys reached incredibly far. Lougheed House plans to develop a virtual exhibit exploring the legacy of the Hardisty family as it relates to different aspects of Canadian history, including the fur trade, settlement in the West, the Hudson’s Bay Company, and Métis history. The exhibition will explore the individual stories of members of the Hardisty family, as well as looking at their collective impact on the country, and the conflicting loyalties they may have experienced as a prominent family of Métis descent.

    2015 to the Community to the ANNUAL REPORT LOUGHEED HOUSE NATIONAL & PROVINCIAL HISTORIC SITE & MUSEUM KIRSTIN EVENDEN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REMARKS 2015 was a special year at Lougheed House as we celebrated our 10th anniversary of Lougheed House National & Provincial Historic Site and our 20th Anniversary of the Lougheed House Conservation Society. These anniversaries were an opportunity to reflect on all that the Society has accomplished in creating and growing Lougheed House as a dynamic cultural hub in the heart of our city. 2015 also marked the first year of our 2015-17 Programming and Strategic Initiatives Plan as we rolled out new opportunities to for the community to be a part of Lougheed House. We continued to evolve our organization to ensure its ongoing sustainability, in a time of economic uncertainty in Alberta. As a non-profit organization responsible for ensuring Lougheed House continues to thrive in the future, we raised approximately 41% of revenues through fundraising, donations, earned income and grants. We managed our expenses carefully, invested in key priorities, sourced new development revenues, and pursued a new fundraising initiative. This past year we also continued to reach out to the community to seek feedback on what our visitors want to see when they visit and engage with Lougheed House. Lougheed House works closely with a number of partners to maintain and care for the Historic Site and we are grateful to the Government of Alberta, a key stakeholder and supporter in the care and operation of Lougheed House through the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the Ministry of Infrastructure.

    Centre City Plan Refresh What We Heard: 2018 public engagement March 13, 2019 calgary.ca | contact 311 03 Centre City Plan Refresh What We Heard: 2018 public engagement About this what we heard report This report summarizes the activities and results of engagement for the Centre City Plan Refresh project. It outlines the project, the purpose of the public engagement, the activities we did, and a summary of what we heard at the events. A full list of comments received through public engagement is included in this report. This report does not outline what has happened as a result of the public engagement. That summary will be published at a later date, once all engagement has been completed and project plans have been finalized. Project overview In 2007, based on extensive citizen input, City Council adopted the Centre City Plan, a vision document that describes what the Centre City could look like in 30 years. The Centre City Plan is a coordinated strategy document that pulls together the vision for the Centre City along with strategies and actions relating to land use planning, economic, cultural, and social development, and governance. With the approval of the adoption of the Centre City Plan (CPC2007-049), it included a recommendation for regular monitoring and reporting. In January 2017 the Centre City Plan was identified as one of 28 Council policies to be amended. It’s time to review and refresh the original Centre City Plan. Calgary’s Centre City is the area south of the Bow River (including Prince’s Island Park) from 17th Avenue Southwest and 14th Street Southwest, to the Elbow River.
