VILLAGE VOICE Гoлос Села Гoлос Села ١♦ VILLAGE VOICE SPRING 2007 ►ENRICHMENT PROGRAM MAKES GREAT PROGRESS One of the major focuses of the Friends Society in the past four years has been advocating for the Village En- richment Project. This Project will see the completion of the original vision for the Village, with the acquisi- tion, research and restoration of those historic structures identified as important pieces for illustrating and in- terpreting life in east central Alberta at the beginning of the 20th century. In the past year, this project has taken some important steps forward. In June of 2006, the Board of Directors of the Friends Society met with Deputy Minister Fay Orr, Assistant Deputy Minister Hugh Tadman and Director of Historic Sites Catherine Whalley. The purpose of this meeting was to review the progress made to date on the Enrichment Project, and to mutually agree on future steps. One of the results of this meeting was the establishment of a joint committee with representatives from the Depart- ment of Community Development (now known as Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture), the Ministry of Infrastructure (now Infrastructure and Transportation), and the Friends Society. Following the instructions of the Deputy Minister, the Enrichment Team began work on a business case for the Enrichment Project. This document will outline all aspects of the Project and will serve as a vital information piece for both government and private sector partners.

Friends’ Membership Form…………..20 Village Voice ►NOTE FROM THE EDITORS Welcome to our latest edition of the Village Voice. You will, no doubt, notice that we have a new look. In the past our Friends Newsletter has provided you with news about events at the Village and the projects of the Friends Society. We felt that you, our valued members, deserved more information. While those who volunteer to serve on the Friends Board of Directors often learn a lot about the daily operations of the site, our member- ship is not often exposed to that side of the UCHV. In this Newsletter we present the initial installments of several ongoing features. One series will look at the concept of open-air museums throughout the world. We want to show how the Ukrainian Village is a unique kind of museum in our province, but part of a rich heritage of similar sites worldwide. As the Enrichment Pro- ject is a major focus for the Friends, we present two series dedicated to this topic. One will look at specific buildings that are part of this project, and will document the progress made to bring them back to life. The other will outline the various steps that the Village’s teams of experts must go through to reach this goal. A further series will look at the Centennial Recognition Program and the Alberta-Ukraine Genealogical Project, both administered by the Friends. We also introduce a number of series that will look at recent events at the Village, the activities of the Friends Board, the contributions of our volunteers, the reactions of our visitors, and upcoming events to look forward to. We hope that you find this new format informative, and welcome your comments. ►UCHV EDUCATION PROGRAMS A HIT At the Ukrainian Village, a variety of education programs are available to students. The programs are designed for a variety of grade levels and can be integrated into the province’s school cur- riculum. Hands-on activities, first-person interpretation and an invigorating outdoor experience contribute to these popular and rewarding programs. For more information about the UCHV Edu- cation Programs, call (780) 662 3640. Jason Wisselink and his sister Megan of Ardrossan attended an Education Program at the Village in December of 2006. Here is a sampling of the experience that they took with them at day’s end: “Dear Ukrainian Village, I had a great time at the Ukrainian Village learning about Ukrainian Christmas. I learned about the cross that Ukrainians put over the doors and windows. Thank you for the time you spent with us. It was fun to make the cross and the bread. The wagon ride was fun. The bread tasted really good. I would like to come back to the Ukrainian Village. from Jason Wisselink” Bottom Artwork by Megan Wisselink Village Voice 2 ►ENRICHMENT, continued from page 1 In recent months two more historic buildings have been acquired and relocated to the Village site. In the fall, the Hilliard Pool Hall was moved to the village (see page 12) while this spring saw the arrival of the Hewko House, which will serve as the focal point for the Ukrainian Canadian Farmstead (see page 11). Research con- tinues on a number of other structures already relocated to the site. The future looks promising for the Enrichment Phase. With our government beginning to reinvest in capital projects that were put on hold during the period of debt reduction, there is hope that Village Enrichment will be among those considered. In addition, the Friends have been working to establish a viable fundraising plan to support this project. Working in conjunction with the Government staff, the Friends will continue to be strong advocates for the completion of the site so that future generations will understand the contribution of our pio- neers to building of this Province. ►Проект по вдосконаленню Села має успіх Одним з головних напрямків діяльності Товариства Приятелів на протязі останніх чотирьох років було заохочення Проекту по вдосконаленню Села. Цей проект має на меті завершення початкового задуму Села шляхом придбання, дослідження і реставрації тих історичних споруд, які є важливими для ілюстації та інтерпретації життя східно-центральної Альберти на початку 20-го століття. У минулому році цей проект зробив помітні успіхи. В червні 2006 року управа Товариства Приятелів провела зустріч з заступником міністра Фей Орр, помічником заступника міністра Хью Тедманом та директором відділу історичних пам'яток Кетрін Веллі. Метою зустрічі був перегляд останніх досягнень проекту та узгодження подальших кроків. Одним з результатів зустрічі стало заснування спільного комітету, створеного з представників з міністерства громадського розвитку (тепер відомого як міністерство туризму, парків, відпочинку та культури), міністерство інфраструктури (тепер інфраструктури та транспорту) та Товариства Приятелів. За вказівками заступника міністра, комітет по вдосконаленню почав роботу над бізнес-планом для проекту. Цей документ намітить всі основні аспекти проекту та послужить важливим джерелом інформації як для уряду, так і для партнерів з приватного сектору. За останні місяці ще дві історичні будівлі були придбані і перевезені на територію Села. Восени більярдний зал з містечка Гіллярд був перевезений до Села (див. стор. 12), а на весні прибула хата Гевків, що посяде чільне місце як частина комплексу українсько-канадських фермерських садиб (див. стор. 11). Продовжується дослідження низки інших споруд, що вже знаходяться в музеї. Проект має багатообіцяючі перспективи. В умовах, коли уряд починає відновляти інвестиції в капітальні проекти, що були призупинені в період скорочення заборгованості в провінціїї Альберта, є надія, що проект вдосконалення Села стане одним з кандидатів на підтримку. Крім того, Приятелі працювали над розробкою ефективного плану збору коштів на фінансування проекту. При активній співпраці з представниками уряду, Приятелі продовжуватимуть докладати зусиль для завершення музею, щоб майбутні покоління розуміли вклад наших піонерів в розбудову цієї Провінції. Village Voice 3 ►VILLAGE’S MLA BECOMES PREMIER Ed Stelmach was elected leader of the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party on December 2, 2006 and on December 14 — on the steps of the Legislature Building — was sworn in as Alberta's 13th Premier. Edward Michael Stelmach was born on May 11, 1951 and raised in the Lamont area on the homestead estab- lished by his grandparents on their arrival in Canada in 1898. Mr. Stelmach has been a member of the Alberta Legislative Assembly since 1993. He was elected to his fourth term as an MLA on November 22, 2004, serv- ing the people of the Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville Constituency. Premier Stelmach has a long record of public and community service. He has been a school trustee, health and nursing home board member, county councilor and Reeve. As MLA for the constituency that houses the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, Mr. Stelmach has had a keen interest in matters pertaining to the Village. He has been an advocate for the Village at the caucus table, and has served as a member of the Village Advisory Board. He has also taken an active part representing the Government at Village special events (and even singing with his church choir at the Feast of Jordan). For the past two years Mr. Stelmach has served as the Honorary Chair of the Friends Golf Tournament, and took time from the campaign trail to attend last year’s event. Premier Stelmach is the first Alberta Premier of Ukrainian ancestry, and the first Baby Boomer to lead the province. He and his wife, Marie, continue to live on the family homestead as well as in Edmonton. They have four grown children and one grandchild. We wish Premier Stelmach success in his new post, and look forward to his continued support. MLA Ed Stelmach presents a Centenary Recognition Certificate to Natalie Edwards at Ukrainian Day 2006.

Едвард Майкл Стельмах народився 11 травня 1951 року та виріс в місцевості Ламонт на фермі, започаткованій його дідом по прибутті до Канади у 1898 році.

  • Dinosaur Tracks in the Grande Cache Area
    TOURISM OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS: DINOSAUR TRACKS IN THE GRANDE CACHE AREA Presented to Alberta Economic Development By Strategy Plus 9608 – 100 Street Edmonton, Alberta T5K 0T6 In Association with: IRIS Environmental Systems Banff and Calgary Insight Research Solutions Inc. Edmonton Richard T. McCrea Edmonton March 2001 Strategy Plus March 2001 Tourism Opportunity Analysis: Dinosaur Tracks In the Grande Cache Area ________________________________________________________________________________ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Several sites of dinosaur footprints and trackways have been exposed on provincial Crown lands near the Town of Grande Cache in northwest Alberta, in an area that was formerly part of a coal mine operated by Smoky River Coal Ltd. (SRCL). While no dispositions or mining leases currently exist on the track sites, coal mining applications will be considered in the area over the next few years. The purpose of this study, commissioned by Alberta Economic Development, is twofold: 1. To determine the capacity of the dinosaur tracks and related palaeontological resources within the Grande Cache region to be developed as marketable tourism products, and 2. If capacity exists to develop the resource as a marketable tourist attraction, to develop an implementation plan for use by interested parties in Grande Cache to pursue development of tourism products and programs related to the dinosaur footprints and trackways. The study involved several components, including: an assessment of the scientific significance of the track sites; a survey of other sites to determine their best practices; a review and assessment of resource protection, management and access considerations; an inventory and assessment of existing tourism in the area; and an assessment of the tourism potential of the track sites based in part on the experiences of other sites.
