  • Take a Walk Through Time with Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
    FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS TAKE A WALK THROUGH TIME WITH FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS For more than a century, our hotels have been at the heart of it all, serving as places of occasion for their communities. The exhilarating events, memorable meetings, and defining moments that have taken place within our hallowed halls are fascinating and countless. A look at some of the more notable ones: 1885 Bermuda's The Fairmont Hamilton Princess opens its doors, making it the oldest hotel in the Fairmont collection. 1888 Canada's first grand railway hotel, The Fairmont Banff Springs opens, bringing to life the vision of General Manager and soon-to-be President of Canadian Pacific Railway, Sir Cornelius Van Horne. It’s not all joy though, as Van Horne is furious to discover initial hotel plans give the kitchen the magnificent views of the Bow Valley. A rotunda is soon built to give the view back to the guests. 1889 Britain's first luxury hotel, The Savoy, opens and pioneers a number of “firsts” for hotels, including “ascending rooms” (electric lifts), 24-hour room service through a “speaking tube” connected to the restaurant, and its own laundry service and postal address. 1890's Silver baron James Graham Fair purchases the land where Fairmont's namesake San Francisco hotel now resides, hoping to build a family estate. His daughters begin planning on “The Fairmont” as a posthumous monument. “Fairmont” combines the name of the hotel’s founding family with its exclusive location atop Nob Hill. 1890 Society hostess Lady de Grey gathers a group of female contemporaries to dine at London’s The Savoy, a strike for equality, making it socially acceptable for women to gather for meals in public without their husbands, and inspiring generations of ladies-who-lunch.

SIR,—I beg to submit my second annual report as Commissioner of Dominion Parks, covering the fiscal year 1912-13. Appended to it are reports from the Chief Superintendent of Dominion Parks and from the Superintendents of the various Parks. These reports show in detail the substantial progress made during the year in the matter of development work. My own report, therefore, is confined largely to a statement concerning the purposes served by National Parks and the useful develop­ ment work that such purposes suggest. CANADA'S PARKS.

March 12, 1913, by His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught, before the Canadian Association for the Pre­ vention of Tuberculosis:— ' I feel that some apology is necessary for referring to the subject on which I now desire to touch, but the fact that this is the last onuortunity I shall have for public speaking before I go to England on leave must be my excuse. Also, the subject is allied with public health, which is one more reason for me to request your indulgence. ' I desire to refer shortly to the question of your Dominion Parks.

The area illustrated in the sketch map above represents a one way trip by modern Canadian Pacific train of 1473.2 miles. For the sake of argument, let's call it 1500 miles. Fifteen hundred miles of scenery that ranges from Prairies with the biggest skies you have ever seen; ranchlands that climb steadily to the foothills; the scenic upthrust of the Canadian Rockies to the alluvial valley that leads to Vanekuver and the many-inletted sheltered coasts of British Columbia on the mainland and Vancouver Island. The Canadian Rockies, famous as one of the world's most spectacular playgrounds, is an all-embracing term including the Rocky Mountains, the Selkirks and the Coastal Range of British Columbia, pierced, as the map shows, by a grid of Canadian Pacific services linking the trans-continental main line—the Banff•take Louise route—to the equally scenic but less known southern Coquihalla Canyon-Crews Nest Pass route—both diesel-operated! Train, boat and bus services open Hsu heart of the Canadian Rockies through the Okanagan Valley, the Columbia River-Arow Lakes district and the picturesque Lake Windermere country.
