This program creates an immersive and dynamic learning experience for Calgary’s children in our city’s award-winning Central Library. Your $400,000 philanthropic investment has enabled the Library to provide students across Calgary with hands-on, experiential learning experiences about the Library system and their community through Library School, supported by Cenovus Energy. Additionally, your investment has allowed the Library to build the Cenovus Classroom, a flexible and welcoming learning environment where students can work and gather to reflect on their experiences. ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT — LIBRARY SCHOOL October 15, 2019 | Page 3 LIBRARY SCHOOL, SUPPORTED BY CENOVUS ENERGY Library School offers my students the valuable opportunity to extend, enrich and deepen the learning that has taken place in our classroom this year.” Vicky Fernandez, Grade 1 Teacher, Copperfield School With your investment, the Library has hired a full- time Library School Coordinator who delivers an array of programs designed to encourage the exploration of new ideas through deep inquiry and first-hand experiences. Your support also enabled a pilot of the program that began at the former Central Library in 2018. Learnings from the sixteen pilot weeks informed the launch of the full program at the Central Library in January 2019. As of June 30, 2019, this cultural hub for learning and innovation has already seen more than 1.75 million visitors, welcomed 39,174 new Library members and hosted more than 950 programs. The Central Library is our city’s largest community gathering space, and children attending Library School have a unique opportunity to explore not only the building, but are exposed to and interact with our larger community. With more than 240,000 square feet to explore and discover, notable student experiences within the Central Library include learning about legacy media and making connections to how media is used today in the vintage media lab. Students are also able to observe and journal in key areas in the library such as in the TD Great Reading Room, the Simmons-Harvie Community Living Room, at the Education is the New Buffalo installation and near the Past/Present/Future Indigenous Placemaking Mural. ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT — LIBRARY SCHOOL October 15, 2019 | Page 4 CENOVUS ENERGY CLASSROOM Library School Classes are based in the Cenovus Energy Classroom—a learning environment where students gather to investigate ideas and reflect on their experiences at Library School. The Cenovus Classroom was designed to accommodate 30 students at a 3:1 student to adult ratio, which includes lots of space and materials to help them seek answers to their questions. When students arrive in the morning, they first visit the "coat room" to hang their coats, lunches, backpacks, switch from outdoor to indoor shoes and gather their journals. The coat hooks are at varying heights to meet the needs of students of a variety of ages. This space helps promote ownership of their space and time at Library School. The classroom was created with an emphasis on natural and neutral materials, implying a connection to the land. In addition to being a bright space with large windows and sightlines that look out to City Hall and downtown, it features a quiet corner for reading with "sit-upon" seats woven with a light brown/beige bamboo material. Student work is displayed on shelves, which also provide easy access to related books and resources (such as renderings of the building). The Cenovus Classroom functions as a gateway to the entire Library system. With community libraries across the city, kids who participate are inspired to continue exploring interests sparked during their time in the program, even after it ends.

  • Crude Optimism Romanticizing Alberta’S Oil Frontier at the Calgary Stampede Kimberly Skye Richards
    Crude Optimism Romanticizing Alberta’s Oil Frontier at the Calgary Stampede Kimberly Skye Richards An immaculate young woman regally waves at a sea of enthusiastic fans. Perched on her head is a white cowboy hat embellished with a tiara that has “Calgary Stampede Queen” written on it in rhinestones. She is a vision of “westernness” in cowboy boots, a buckskin skirt and jacket, and turquoise jewels. Her express purpose this hot July afternoon is to welcome the 115,000 folks attending the “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth,” the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede. She is a “welcome figure,”1 like those white-cowboy-hat-wearing individuals in the Calgary air- port who stand in the arrivants’ path and greet travelers. These performances of western hospi- tality amount to a performance of power: the assertion of settler rights to land.2 They are just 1. I borrow this term from Stó:lō scholar Dylan Robinson’s essay “Welcoming Sovereignty,” which examines Indigenous sovereignty and gestures of welcome that take place in spaces of transit and gathering (2016:24). 2. In using the term “settler” to describe non-Indigenous people living in western Canada, I am referring to the idea within settler colonial studies that being a settler is not an identity, but a structural position and experience of power and privilege. Settlers settle into land appropriated by imperial nations and create independent homelands for themselves. They are defined by conquest; they are “founders of political orders and carry their sovereignty TDR: The Drama Review 63:2 (T242) Summer 2019. ©2019 138 New York University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/dram_a_00839 by guest on 26 September 2021 Student Essay Contest Winner Kimberly Skye Richards is a PhD Candidate in Performance Studies at the University of California-Berkeley.

    Private and Confidential. For X-Culture use only. 2019 X-Culture Global Business Week, Calgary, Canada Updated June 8, 2019 Challenge Presented by: Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) Contacts: Kate Thompson, VP Development [email protected] Website: https://www.calgarymlc.ca/#home-intro THE CITY OF CALGARY The City of Calgary is referred to as the “Gateway to the Rockies”. Calgary sits in the sunny eastern foothills of Canada’s Rocky Mountains, where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet. It is the major urban center for the entire southern half of the province of Alberta, and is surrounded by an area of profound beauty with an unspoiled, resource-rich natural environment. It is no surprise to Calgarians that their home has been ranked among Top 5 most liveable city in the world by The Economist Intelligence Unit every year between 2009 and 2018 (#4 in 2018). The population density in Calgary is low, the quality of life is high, and housing abundant. Calgary’s population is young, well educated, entrepreneurial, community minded, generous and well paid. As individuals, Calgarians are family-focused, recreation lovers, that are committed to a healthy work-life balance. As citizens, Calgarians are enthusiastic supporters of community organizations: there are more volunteers in Alberta than the national average. The top priority of most Calgarians is sustaining the city’s superb quality of life. This means ensuring the economic, environmental, health and wellness, recreational, educational and social service advantages that Calgarians have today will be here in the future. A few helpful Calgary websites: Life in Calgary: www.lifeincalgary.ca/moving/calgary-facts Tourism Calgary: www.visitcalgary.com 1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) was incorporated in 2007 as a wholly owned subsidiary of the City of Calgary to implement and execute the Rivers District Community Revitalization Plan – a public infrastructure program approved by the City of Calgary and the Province of Alberta to kick-start Calgary’s urban renewal.
