    Glenbow Archives, RCT-881-51 Turner Valley Oral History Project, 1990-1992 Archie Stephen "Bud" Widney, interviewed by David Finch, November 24, 1992 Tape 1 Side 1 000 Biographical information about Archie Stephen "Bud" Widney. He was born in British Columbia while his father was drilling a well in the lower mainland. It took about three years to drill that well and in the end it was dry. 020 His father, Roy Widney, got the job drilling in B.C. when he left Turner Valley and was on his way back to California and ran into a man in Vancouver that was looking for someone to drill. 030 Roy Widney was born in Dry Run, Pennsylvania and as the second youngest child he was sent off to look for work elsewhere as there was no work for him on the small farm. He ended up in Bakersfield, California and he learned to drill with cable tool rigs. 050 In 1910 or 1911, he went from California up to Alberta to get free CPR land for himself and his friends. By the time he scouted it out, there was no good land left. In a bar in Calgary, the longest bar he had ever seen, he ran into someone looking for men to drill wells. He started drilling the Southern Alberta No. 1 well at the same time that Calgary Petroleum Products No. 1 was drilling. He was not accustomed to the cold winter and "nearly froze to death." Once they hit naphtha, they refined it in a crude separator and sent it into Okotoks by barrel.

From that humble beginning was born Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and the world's third. Spanning 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 square miles) of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers, Banff National Park is one of the world's premier destination spots. In Banff’s early years, The Canadian Pacific Railway built the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracted tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened.

    Monitoring Science and Technology Symposium: Unifying Knowledge

    Tri Community Watershed Initiative: Towns of Black Diamond, Turner Valley and Okotoks, Alberta, Canada Promoting Sustainable Behaviour in Watersheds and Communities Maureen Lynch is the Coordinator of the Tri Community Watershed Initiative, Black Diamond, AB, T0L 0H0 Abstract—For the past two years, three rural municipalities in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies have been working together to promote sustainability in their communities. The towns share the belief that water is an integral part of the community; they have formed a Tri Community Watershed Initiative to help manage their shared resource. Activities of the Initiative include changing municipal policies, writing municipal water, and river valley management plans, working with partners, hosting community events and engaging local media in community success stories. The towns are also assisting residents in outdoor water conservation efforts. To date, 100 percent of the households – more than 15,000 residents in approximately 6,000 households – have participated in community-wide water conservation campaigns that protect the local watershed. The Initiative has improved local policy and decision-making through a collaborative, multi-stakeholder approach that delivers ecological monitoring science in a manner that improves knowledge in the decision-making process. Involvement of town councilors in this ecological monitoring initiative has allowed local decision makers to gain awareness and knowledge that has led to action on community environmental watershed issues and increased community capacity. Decisions made at local and landscape scales have a direct impact on sustainability. This Initiative has succeeded in ensuring that choices are informed and reflect the col- lective values of the community. By identifying values and defining sustainability, the communities have been empowered to monitor progress and feed into adaptive deci- sion-making processes.
