  • A Message from the President …
    Share Enjoy Enrich Newsletter of the Faculty Women’s Club, University of Alberta Vol. 30, No. 2a December 2016 A message from the President … As the semester draws to a close and the holiday season approaches, I hope you are all keeping busy and warm! The FWC has had a productive fall. First, we began our year with a successful and well-attended Wine and Cheese Registration Event. Thank you to Cathy, Pat, and others for all your hard work in providing and preparing the food, to Marie and others for manning the registration table, and to those members who volunteered their time at the event to welcome and provide tours to new members. Second, we have recently launched our new website; thank you to Christine for your patience, persistence, and hours of work in making this happen! Finally, the Program Committee (Cathy, Katia, and Judith) is working hard to plan some upcoming club-wide events, including the Robin Hood pantomime at Fort Edmonton in December and the Alberta Legislature tour in March. Personally, I have been enjoying my last few weeks of leave with Emma (now ten months old!) and Kevin. We are looking forward to Emma’s first Christmas with family in Vancouver, and even dressed her up as an elf for Halloween in anticipation. I will return to work full time in January, which seems a bit daunting – but I know many thousands of parents have done it before me, and I know that I have a wonderful network of support from the FWC. In closing, I wish you all a holiday that is warm, bright, and full of fun and friendship! Sarah Moore email: [email protected] December 2016 www.ualberta.ca/faculty-and-staff/faculty-womens-club 1 S E A S O N’ S G R E E T I N G S! from your Executive It’s that time of year again when many of our members are decorating their homes and cooking up a storm in the kitchen, preparing to celebrate.

  • July 4, 2006 Newly Completed Lois Hole Memorial Garden Ready For
    July 4, 2006 Newly completed Lois Hole Memorial Garden ready for visitors Edmonton...Albertans can now pay tribute to the late Lois Hole by visiting a new garden created in her memory on the grounds of the Alberta Legislature. The Lois Hole Memorial Garden was dedicated during a ceremony July 4 by the Honourable Norman L. Kwong, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta; Premier Ralph Klein and members of the Hole family. "Mrs. Hole was a dedicated public servant and a real champion of Alberta and Canada," said Lieutenant Governor Kwong. "I am pleased the government has chosen to recognize her contributions to the province through the creation of this beautiful, permanent garden." Government announced its intention to create the garden in the 2005 Throne Speech as a tribute to Mrs. Hole, the late Lieutenant Governor who passed away in January 2005 while still in office. In addition to serving as Lieutenant Governor, Mrs. Hole was a successful businesswoman, author, university chancellor and champion of many community projects. "We wanted to create a place that honours Lois Hole's memory and pays tribute to her passion for horticulture," said Premier Ralph Klein. "This garden adds to the beauty of the Legislature grounds and creates a wonderful haven to reflect on the life and accomplishments of a great Albertan." The Lois Hole Memorial Garden is located in the northeast corner of the Legislature's south grounds. The terraced garden features a bronze plaque with an inscription and a raised likeness of Mrs. Hole. The plaque is mounted on a boulder and set in a round seating plaza.
