  • 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.

  • The Impact of Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation in Alberta
    The Impact of Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation in Alberta April 2020 Executive Summary: As a society Alberta is undergoing unprecedented changes due to COVID- 19, and as we look both to crisis responses right now and forward to recovery and relaunch strategies in the future, it is imperative that the sport, recreation, and physical activity (SPAR) sector be a foundation of both. Alberta is a hub for world-class services for people of all ages, genders, backgrounds and abilities, and now is a time to draw upon these organizations and community leaders to guide our recovery and ensure equitable access to health for all. Provincial investment in SPAR currently lags woefully behind other provinces, despite the high value Albertans place on being physically active in their daily lives. Renewed investment to build a strong SPAR sector will quickly and significantly aid the economic, health, and social impact of Albertans as the province recovers from COVID-19. SPAR is essential to the wellbeing of Albertans. The sectors builds coping skills and supports social and community connections that build whole population mental and physical wellness The SPAR sector: Creates jobs and is an income generator in Alberta Including both sport and recreation, the SPAR sector contributes as much as 2% to Alberta GDP and supports more than 3.5% of total employment. Provides considerable value to Albertans in their daily lives More than 82% of Albertans believe that sport contributes to an improved quality of life. Some 24% of adults and 59% of children participate directly in organized sport, while sport has the highest volunteer rate and number of volunteer hours of any other organizations in the non-profit sector.
