Bjorge Chair Recording Secretary January 21, 2021 Minutes Regular Meeting of the Banff Heritage Corporation, Page 3 of 3 Landmarks and Legends - Siding 29 (DRAFT for Banff Heritage Corporation) 007 Since time immemorial, indigenous people have gathered, camped, hunted, and healed at the foot of a mountain noted for cascading mînî hrpa (waterfalls in the Nakoda language). The buffalo and other wildlife roaming the nearby prairie and meadows were a part of indigenous sustenance, spiritual, and cultural practices of the land. European explorers, yet unaware of the nearby hot springs, would also mention both waterfall and prairie as the area’s most prominent features. Sir George Simpson trekked through in 1841 and Sir James Hector of the Palliser Expedition camped there in 1858. Surrounded by sheer verticality, the grasslands and aspen forests would set the stage for the introduction of steel rails and iron horses cutting a lasting path to the settlement we know today as Banff. 1881-1884 The modern settlement period of Banff began with the arrival of Canadian Pacific Railway (C.P.R.) surveyors in 1881. Major A.B Rogers headed a party of 75, which included explorer-outfitter Tom Wilson and chief- surveyor Frederick Aylmer, to find a suitable route through the mountains from their base at Kananaskis.

Connect With Nature K. Smtih K. Smtih OUR STORY During a celebrated expedition to explore the West, Dr. James Hector travelled ahead of the group, and became the rst European to discover a steep mountain pass in 1858. After the surgeon’s trusty steed knocked him over with a blow to the chest, the spectacular route was dubbed Kicking Horse Pass. Later, the Canadian Pacic Railway, whose transcontinental route travelled through the pass, set up restaurants at the base of Mount Stephen to avoid pushing heavy dining cars up the mountain. This laid the groundwork for creating the Mount Stephen Reserve, renamed in 1901 as Yoho National Park. Eight years later, a visiting scientist, Dr. Charles Doolittle Walcott, discovered the Burgess Shale fossils on Mount Wapta. These exquisitely preserved marine organisms offer a glimpse back more than 505 million years ago. With fossils designated as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 36 peaks soaring above 3 000 m, the rambunctious Kicking Horse River and numerous breathtaking waterfalls, it is no surprise Yoho was named after a Cree expression meaning “awe and wonder.” A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE Four of the mountain national parks—Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Kootenay—are recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientic and Cultural Organization as part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, for the benet and enjoyment of all nations. Among the attributes that warranted this designation were vast wilderness, diversity of ora and fauna, outstanding natural beauty and features such as Lake Louise, Maligne Lake, the Columbia Iceeld and the Burgess Shale.

  • People Progress Outreach Service
    PEOPLE PROGRESS OUTREACH SERVICE Annual Report 2016 The Alpine Club of Canada | Le Club Alpin du Canada Message from the President With the 2016 fiscal year behind us, it is time to celebrate our Club’s progress and milestones. I invite you to read these pages and reflect on our proud achievements. It is also a time to look to the future. For me, that means putting more boots in the mountains and growing our members’ pride in being part of this amazing organization. Many of our members join for the Club’s great range of activities. They soon learn the ACC provides so much more—a sense of history and shared passion for mountain culture, responsible access and preserving the environment. How can we continue to do better for our members? I believe it starts with enhancing connections with our Sections. In October, I had my first official meeting with our Section leaders in Lake Louise. It marked the initial step in a process of reaching out to determine their highest priorities so we can develop an effective nationwide strategy. In 2017, we will conduct a survey of all members, building on last year’s survey of Sections, asking you about your club experiences and expectations, for your ideas and input. There is a lot to be done, but with so many sensational volunteers committing their time, energy and support to projects across the country, our organization is uniquely positioned to thrive. It has been completely humbling to have been elected your President for the next three years. I will undoubtedly make mistakes.

  • The Rocky Mountain Region
    Chapter 02 5/5/06 3:40 PM Page 18 Chapter 2 The Rocky Mountain Region What makes the Rocky Mountain region a unique part of Alberta? My Dad works for the Canadian National Railway, and our family moved to Jasper because of his work. I think living in the Rocky Mountain region is like living in the middle of a silvery crown. In the Rocky Mountains, you can see snow on the mountain tops, even during the summer. My new friends at school pointed out a mountain called Roche Bonhomme (rosh boh num), a French phrase that means “good fellow rock.” It is also called Old Man Mountain. If you stand in Jasper and look up at the mountains in the northeast, you will see what looks like a sleeping man. Whenever I leave my house, I always look up at him and silently send him my greetings. On my birthday, I was given my own camera. I took the picture you see here and many others. This is a beautiful area in all four seasons. My photos tell part of Alberta’s story. I think you can really see the side view of the sleeping man’s face in this photo of Roche Bonhomme. 18 NEL Chapter 02 5/5/06 3:40 PM Page 19 What I Want to Know… …About the Rocky Mountain Region The Rocky Mountain region begins at the southwestern border of Alberta. It is part of the Rocky Mountain chain. The mountains run northwest and southeast along the western side of North America.

  • Bow Valley Food Alliance Association, PO Box 4605, Banff, AB T1L 1E8 [email protected]
    March 4, 2021 Attention: Mayor and Council Town of Canmore Re: Smith Creek Area Structure Plan and Village Centre Area Structure Plan Amendment On behalf of the Bow Valley Food Alliance the Board of Directors is writing to express our opposition to the proposed Smith Creek Area Structure Plan and Village Centre Area Structure Plan Amendment. We ask you to consider the negative impacts related to food that such a development will have on the community. The Bow Valley Food Alliance is a network of community members, agencies and food stakeholders committed to creating local food systems that are healthy, socially just, collaborative, diverse, and accessible. These systems are based in vibrant regional economies, respect for the earth and environment, reconciliation, intergenerational knowledge, system innovation and education. Our board includes representatives from health, indigenous relations, education and research, community development and local food producers. We have been in existence since 2016 and formalized as a society in 2020. Our work is grounded in the communities from Lake Louise to Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, and supported by research. Over the past two and a half years we have facilitated community-based conversations and developed the attached Food Charter. A Food Charter is a set of principles outlined by a community that articulates what they want their food systems to look like, including how they grow, harvest, process, distribute, prepare, eat, and dispose of their food. In addition, we have recently conducted research in partnership with Dr. Lauren Kepkiewicz a post-doctoral researcher from the University of Calgary. This research project has collected and collated data both prior to and during COVID 19 related to residents’ food security.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
