    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.

    Fire Regimes of Southern Alberta, Canada

    Fire regimes of southern Alberta, Canada by Marie-Pierre Rogeau A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Forest Biology and Management Department of Renewable Resources University of Alberta © Marie-Pierre Rogeau, 2016 ABSTRACT After decades of recent fire exclusion in southern Alberta, Canada, forests are progressively aging and landscape mosaics are departing from their historical conditions. A large-scale fire history study spanning three natural subregions: Subalpine, Montane and Upper Foothills, was undertaken to understand fire return intervals (FRI) prior to the period of effective fire suppression (pre-1948). This thesis presents an approach to conducting field-based fire history studies in remote landscapes. A paired-plot sampling approach was used to deal with landscapes regulated by large-scale, fully lethal, and mixed severity fires, where fire scar evidence is lost over time. For each natural subregion, point FRIs were used to conduct a fire frequency (i.e. survival) analysis that considers both FRI and time-since-fire data. A total of 3123 tree samples were collected at 814 sampling sites, from which 583 fire scars were identified. Results showed natural subregions had different fire interval distributions before 1948 and some level of FRI variance was also observed within a subregion. The median FRI for the Montane and Foothills sampling units ranged from 26 to 39 years, while the sampling unit located in the most rugged portion of the Subalpine had a median FRI of 85 years. Other aspects of the fire regime were also documented for the three natural subregions including: severity, seasonality and cause.

They may be Francophone descendants of mercenaries in the 18th century or Anglophone immigrants of the 1950s. In the 1980s, after a long period of official downplaying of the presence of the Germans, some German-Canadian leaders fought for recognition of the German contribution to a multicultural Canada. Many German-Quebecers took over this discourse, but some refused the idea of a German ‘founding people’ and insisted on the distinct role of their Francophone society. Furthermore, even in Canada, post-war immigrants had to come to terms with the German past; the victimisation often characterized the German- Canadian press, since readers many, of whom lived in Québec often were expellees of the German ‘eastern territories’ and the few exiles often chose to stay invisible. Thus for its citizens of German heritage, Québec became the place of encounter of several competing identity discourses, whether it was about the role of Francophones in Canadian history or about the role of Germans.
