Early in 2011, I accepted the challenge of leading EducationMatters into the next decade of growth and change. It was an easy decision for me since I believe public education is the foundation for building great communities across Canada and beyond. Calgary’s diversity is its strength, and our ability to live together peacefully, leading productive and fulfilling lives, is thanks in part to our educational opportunities that welcome students from every culture and walk of life regardless of circumstance. Over the past year, I have met countless people who, like me, are alumni of Canada’s world class public education system. Collectively, the Calgary community has so much to gain by supporting public education students to become lifelong learners and the future advocates for public education. I am inspired by the support and encouragement EducationMatters continues to receive from the Calgary Board of Education. Thank you for enabling us to work with you to ensure all children and youth succeed at school. The Board of Governors’ Dr. Gene Edworthy volunteer efforts surpassed all expectations this year and I am grateful for your commitment of time and talent to ensuring Board Chair that the future looks bright for CBE students. Thanks to the extraordinary support from a diverse group of donors, this year we exceeded our goals. Your community spirit and generosity inspire us to achieve more. In 2011, the mantra of the EducationMatters staff team and board was “together we achieve more” as we worked toward doubling our granting capacity, building new scholarships and increasing support for CBE students. Early in 2011, we were fortunate to move with the CBE to new headquarters that still inspire us every day. By mid-year, it was clear that this would be a record year for leadership and transformational donations in support of innovative personalized learning for CBE students. Since inception, we have exceeded our goals by passing the $7 million fundraising milestone and tripling our granting capacity, thanks to the incredible generosity of donors. It is a privilege to serve CBE students and play a leading role in engaging the community in supporting student success. As I reflect on the many accomplishments of EducationMatters in 2011, of highest importance was supporting the CBE in achieving their ultimate goal – to help our children and youth develop and pursue their passions, while making the successful transition to adulthood by becoming lifelong learners contributing to the world.

I like to write every day. I’m so happy to buy The hard work paid off when the Heather and N. Murray Edwards Literacy Fund at EducationMatters provided the school with new books!” an amount astonishing to the teachers - $25,000. “I thought maybe we would get a couple of thousand. When I heard it was $25,000 I almost started bawling,” said teacher, Darlene Rosin. - Vivian, Grade 1 Joan Murtagh, Assistant Principal, said the school used the money to purchase 3,000 new books and supplies to mark the book levels. The excitement was contagious when the announcement was made to the school community as everyone visualized the benefits so many new books – fiction, non-fiction, poetry and letters – would provide. “The students are passionate about their books,” said Darlene Rosin and she proved that when she leafed through the students’ responses to what books they liked best – all of them! Some of the school’s “favourite” books had become “too well loved” to keep in circulation. The teachers repurposed the worn materials by using the images to inspire fantastic writing. Replacement books are needed and treasured. It was clear that the teachers and the students were ecstatic about their new resources. For many students at Chris Akkerman School, English is their second language and the books help them better understand western culture as well as provide an opportunity to hear and see well-written language. The grant provides families the ability to read and learn together. “Thank you. You are kind to give us money. You are “My name is Tolu. I am in grade 2.

Youth Central began the Youth Council at Discovering Choices in 2009. A grant from EducationMatters in 2011 has allowed the council to continue to grow and the difference it has made is amazing. “That would never ever happen [before],” commented Shawna as two students embraced in a victory hug after competing in the last activity of the afternoon. To Shawna, the whole atmosphere of the school has changed, especially the relationship between students and teachers, “We can all sit in the same room and have fun.” Outreach programs at the CBE, like Discovering Choices, help students overcome obstacles in completing their high school diploma. The school offers curriculum courses and work experience opportunities and even with the flexible pace, some students still have difficulties attending and completing school. Shawna has participated in the Discovering Choices Youth Council since its beginning and says that it is her reason to come to school. “I hated walking into this school. Period,” said Shawna, but things have changed for her and the “Your time and other members.

  • Preaching Premiers: the Political and Religious Errands of William Aberhart and Ernest Manning1
    Preaching Premiers: The Political and Religious Errands of William Aberhart and Ernest Manning1 BRIAN FROESE Canadian Mennonite University In July 1932 William Aberhart, principal of Crescent View High School in Calgary, arrived in Edmonton, as he did every July, to mark exams. At these annual grading sessions Aberhart regularly met with a chemistry teacher, Charles Morton Scarborough, of Edmonton. Scarborough was an avid reader of Major C.H. Douglas’ social credit theories and, while grading exams, would extol the virtues of social credit, attempting in vain to attract Aberhart to his view. However, 1932 was different from other summers. That July Aberhart arrived in Edmonton in an unusually sullen mood as the economic depression and severe drought were seriously grinding on the Albertan economy. He watched helplessly as the graduates of his school could not find work. One graduating student even committed suicide that spring.2 Aberhart, like many others, saw his income slashed as the Canadian jobless rate hit 20% and Albertan incomes declined overall by 62% from 1928 to 1932, second only to Saskatchewan at 72%. Private Albertan debt climbed to the highest level in Canada.3 Even military enlistment was affected as Albertan young men were allegedly rejected at an exaggerated rate on account of rickets caused by malnourishment.4 Alberta was at the time a rural society, and as mortgage rates on farms and equipment rose, many could not make the interest payments. The cities were no better as 15% of Edmontonians and 13% of Calgarians lived on the relief rolls. Relief numbers would be higher but single men were not counted, being sent to work camps, and many central Europeans if not deported were Historical Papers 2014: Canadian Society of Church History 82 Preaching Premiers simply cut from the rolls.5 Aberhart was also very busy.

  • The Calgary Working Class and the Social Credit Movement in Alberta, 1932-35
    The Calgary Working Class and the Social Credit Movement in Alberta, 1932-35 Larry Hannant THE SOCIAL CREDIT MOVEMENT and government in Alberta constitutes one of the most closely-examined phenomena in Canadian history. Among the many studies of it, C.B. Macpherson's Democracy in Alberta: Social Credit and the Party System, written in 1953, was one of the first. Some recent criticism notwithstanding, it is still regarded as the classic work on the sub­ ject.' Perhaps because of the authority of Macpherson's contention that farmers have exercised overwhelming political domination in Alberta and in the Social Credit movement, no one has yet conducted even the most superficial study of the role of the working class in Calgary in the growth of that movement up to the election of the first such government in the world in August 1935. The formative influence of the Calgary working class on Social Credit has therefore been overlooked. To redress that imbalance, this essay will demonstrate first that Calgary in the 1930s had a relatively large and politically active working class. Moreover, it will be shown that workers — as individuals and en masse — injected a powerful drive into the organization of the Social Credit movement in the critical period of its infancy and adolescence. I FROM THH BIRTH OF the province, labour's influence on Alberta provincial politics was significant, a fact which is often overshadowed by the strength of the farmers' movements of the early twentieth century. The triumph of the farmers' concept of group government which occurred with the election of the United Farmers of Alberta (UFA) as the provincial administration in 1921 did not leave the labour movement untouched.
