  • It Is an Exciting Time to Join Lougheed House As We Continue to Grow As a Cultural Hub for Calgary. We Are Evolving Our Organiza
    It is an exciting time to join Lougheed House as we continue to grow as a cultural hub for Calgary. We are evolving our organization and are looking for an individual interested in being a part of this journey. Lougheed House was built in 1891 and is a Provincial and National Historic Site. Designed by Ottawa architect James R. Bowes for Senator James and Isabella Lougheed, it is one of the earliest surviving mansions of its kind on the Canadian prairies today. Located in the Beltline district of Calgary amid several acres of heritage gardens and green space, the House is also an accredited museum and significant Calgary landmark. It features a regular exhibition program, and hosts events, tours, and learning opportunities for visitors of all ages. COMPANY NAME: Lougheed House Conservation Society POSITION TITLE: Digital Exhibit Coordinator REPORTS TO: Curator, Lougheed House PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Counted among the many Anglo-Métis, or Countryborn, descendants of Scottish or English fur traders and local First Nations women, the Hardisty family rose to prominence as fur traders and officers at some of the earliest Hudson’s Bay Company forts established throughout Canada. Geographically, politically, and economically, the influence of several generations of Hardistys reached incredibly far. Lougheed House plans to develop a virtual exhibit exploring the legacy of the Hardisty family as it relates to different aspects of Canadian history, including the fur trade, settlement in the West, the Hudson’s Bay Company, and Métis history. The exhibition will explore the individual stories of members of the Hardisty family, as well as looking at their collective impact on the country, and the conflicting loyalties they may have experienced as a prominent family of Métis descent.
