CITY CLERK 50 , -= lORiwrStzeetEut I PrinceAlbert, SK I S6V8A9 I i[p] 306.764.2992 1 [e] [email protected] 1 fw] www.historypa.com September 9, 2020 SEP 11 2020 Dear Mayor and Members of Council:, CITY CLERK 50 , -=" ( .c..,""'~ \-\e-e.... As you know, the Historical Society operates four museums in partnership with the City of Prince Albert- the Histor,ical Museum, the John and Olive Diefenbaker Museum National Historic Site, the Evolution of Education Museum, and the Rotary Museum of Police and Corrections. These museums showcase the cornerstones of Prince Albert's history. The year 2020 has not been normal! by any stretch, but the Historical Society has been hard at work taking care of the bui1ldings and collections during this time when there have been few visitors. The Covid-19 shurtd'own in March allowed us to complete a variety of projects, including several of which were initiated by City Administration, including the Indigenous r,iverbank signage. Fortunately, the Province allowed museums to open at the end of June, and after preparing a detai,led pwtocol for our safe re-opening, we opened fully on July 10, salvaging approximately half our normal summer season. Pdor to Covid-19, the Manager/Curator travelled to Ottawa to accept a finalist award for the Governor General's Award for Excellence in Community Programming, earned as a result of the creation of the Indigenous Murals at the Historical Museum. This not only contributed to the City's object ive to achiev.f? reconcirliation with our indigenous citrizens, but also brought national recognition and honour to the City of Prince Albert. The Society has been working hard to increase programs available to the academic community. We hired a Museum Educator in January. He created eight programs available at two of our museums, and led programming durj.ng the February break, as well as preparing suitable programming for the upcomirng Culture Days events. The programs developed for the Diefenbaker House museum are meant to complement the middle school yea rs' curriculum, w~th such topics as the levels of government and parliamentary debate, nighl'ighting the work that John Diefenbaker did in Ottawa. At the Historical Museum, treaty education and the fur trade are the first programs to have been developed . These programs not onlY align with the ~ ~ioce r'- ~ Albert 5A5K ILDTTEAIE5 Dr. C. H. & Lenore Andrews Philip E. West school’s curriculum outcomes, but also with the City’s goals of providing understanding and reconciliation for the Indigenous and non-Indigenous residents. The Historical Society and Historical Museum are sought out as resources for professional education development, and the manager/curator has been contracted twice in 2020 by the Museums Association of Saskatchewan to teach courses on museum fundamentals. This year the Historical Society has also received and accepted two requests for job placements/internships from two educational facilities- Dumont Technical Institute and Athabasca University. These placements have given the individuals involved experience which allowed them to complete their educational requirements. Having a shortened summer season, the Society only used two-thirds of the annual interpreter budget. It cannot, however, be anticipated that this reduced expenditure will occur in future years. The Society applied for and received funding from Young Canada Works and the Canada Summer Job grant programme for an approximate total of $20,000, which offsets our City funding. Internally, the Society has applied for and received four Covid-19 related funding opportunities- Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (March 18 to present- approx. $16,000), Temporary Wage Subsidy (3 month- $1,489), CEBA Loan ($40,000), Canadian Heritage Emergency Funding for Heritage Institutions ($18,000). Our revenue dropped an average of 87% between April and June, July was 68%; at this time, we do not have figures for August. These funds will be put toward various projects for the Historical Society. The CEBA loan will be used to fund the 2021 reconstruction of the blockhouse along the riverbank, and the Canadian Heritage Emergency Fund will pay the salary of a full-time Museum Educator for the first part of 2021. A further grant application, submitted to Cameco in April, unfortunately, was denied. It is possible, however, that the work done on this grant application may be utilised in applying for another grant this autumn. The Society has also applied for other project funding, but because of Covid-19, the decisions have been delayed until later this fall. These project funds include a grant to help reconstruct the Church and Blockhouse, as well as Federal Government funding to commemorate the Residential Schools in Prince Albert. We are hopeful our grants will be successful so we can continue to aid the City in their community goals of promoting culture and reconciliation. The Historical Society will continue to plan fundraising events to help us fund a variety of projects in 2021. Three events were postponed in the spring due to Covid-19, including “A Night at the Museum,” our rummage/antique sale of properly deaccessioned items from the Society’s collections, and our annual Crocus Tea. We are working to reschedule these events as soon as safe to do so, as well as two other events (another afternoon of house tours and a garden tour). An event planned for the spring of 2021 is the Living History event. Living History is a drama group that visits communities putting on various interactive plays that highlight local history. They also provide an opportunity for local high school drama programs and theatre groups, such as the Community Players, to participate in developmental classes. We are very excited to have the Living History group come to the Museums and perform for Prince Albert. In 2017, the City signed over the Andrews Bequest to the Historical Society. The bequest, from Dr. C.H. and Lenore Andrews, had grown from the original $100,000 to approximately $145,000. Thank you to the City of Prince Albert for holding onto these funds. Since that time, the Historical Society has completed work within the Historical Museum, renovating the archives and artefact storage systems and areas, as well as changing and adding LED lights in various areas. The Andrews Bequest has allowed the Society to find matching grants for most of the work done in the last two years. We were able to use $35,000 to match two federal Museums Assistance Program grants to complete these upgrades at a total cost of over $70,000. Because we have been able to use/find matching grants, we still have approximately $60,000 left of the bequest, which is stipulated by Lenore Andrews’ will and the executor to be used for museum upgrades. Looking forward to 2021, it is important for the Historical Society to maintain a Museum Educator on staff. During the pandemic, our outgoing educator created the aforementioned programs for schools. However, we were unable to take them to schools. The Society needs to continue to develop and run school and public programs to increase self-generated operational funding. Without the educator this will not be possible. In this pandemic time, we cannot ask our aging volunteers to go into an environment that may risk their health. Similar to the Mann Gallery’s request for an increase in operational funding, the Historical Society is requesting an additional $20,000 that would pay half the wages for an Educator. The Historical Society will continue to look for additional funding from government and non- government sources to make the position permanent full-time, meeting the goals and aims of both the Historical Society and the City of Prince Albert. The Board of Directors of the Prince Albert Historical Society believes that we effectively and efficiently manage the money which the City provides us, and we will continue to do so. Through seeking out matching grants, we have been able to extend those funds to improve the facilities which we manage, as well as to assist the City in the implementation of programs which meet the City’s goals and objectives with respect to cultural programming and its objectives of reconciliation with our indigenous citizens. We believe that we have a positive relationship with the City, and we are proud to be able to contribute to its goals and objectives, making Prince Albert a more desirable place for visitors and for its residents.

  • Introducing S. June Menzies
    Introducing S. June Menzies University of Saskatchewan The Diefenbaker years Dief and Atherton Early years Social Justice Bill of Rights Commonwealth Roads to Resources Atherton Diefenbaker was approached by the father of Alfred John “Jack” Atherton, a railway telegrapher accused of causing a crash at Canoe River, British Columbia. In 1950, two trains had collided head-on, killing four locomotive crew members and 17 soldiers bound for Korea. In R. v. Atherton, known as the Canoe River case, he successfully defended Atherton, who was found not guilty of manslaughter. The case was followed nationwide and the acquittal celebrated in the press; it was “one of his major political assets.” Diefenbaker was born in southwestern Ontario in 1895. In 1903, his family migrated west to the portion of the North-West Territories which would shortly thereafter become the province of Saskatchewan. The family moved to the Fort Carlton district in 1903 because the doctors of the era recommended the dry prairie climate to help his father’s breathing problems. In 1905, the family moved to Hauge and in 1906 relocated to a homestead near Borden. In 1910, the Diefenbaker family moved to SASKATOON so that John and his brother Elmer could attend high school. Diefenbaker graduated from what is now Nutana Collegiate in the spring of 1912, and entered the UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN as a member of the first class to be educated on the new campus. He later lived in Wakaw and Prince Albert. He grew up in the province, and was interested in politics from a young age. After brief service in World War I, Diefenbaker became a lawyer.

  • “A Challenge and a Danger” Canada and the Cuban Missile Crisis
    “A Challenge and A Danger” Canada and the Cuban Missile Crisis By Caralee Daigle Hau A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada December 2011 Copyright © Caralee Daigle Hau 2011 Abstract President John F. Kennedy’s announcement, on Monday 22 October 1962, that there were offensive missiles on the island of Cuba began the public phase of what would be remembered as the Cuban missile crisis. This Cold War crisis had ramifications in many other countries than just the Soviet Union and the United States. Due to the danger involved in this nuclear confrontation, the entire globe was threatened. If either side lost control of negotiations, an atomic war could have broken out which would have decimated the planet. As the direct northern neighbors of the United States and partners in continental defence, Canadians experienced and understood the Cuban missile crisis in the context of larger issues. In many ways, Canadian and American reactions to the crisis were similar. Many citizens stocked up their pantries, read the newspapers, protested, or worried that the politicians would make a mistake and set off a war. However, this dissertation argues that English Canadians experienced the crisis on another level as well. In public debate and print sources, many debated what the crisis meant for Canadian-Cuban relations, Canadian-American relations and Canada’s place in the world. Examining these print and archival sources, this dissertation analyzes the contour of public debate during the crisis, uniting that debate with the actions of politicians.

  • The Diefenbaker Moment by Cara Spittal a Thesis Submitted In
    The Diefenbaker Moment By Cara Spittal A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Cara Spittal (2011) Abstract Cara Spittal The Diefenbaker Moment University of Toronto Graduate Department of History For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 This thesis locates John G. Diefenbaker’s electoral triumphs in the general elections of 1957 and 1958 and his subsequent world tour within the context of the revival of Conservative nationalism in the postwar period. To make his case against a Liberal government that had been in power for twenty-two years, Diefenbaker had to engage the public in a response to political events based on an appreciation of an abstract and not quite palpable threat to democracy and a national way of life. He did so by harnessing the persuasive techniques of public relations and the new medium of television—a powerful combination that Diefenbaker knew could most effectively tell and sell a national narrative.
