HER15-25 Motion by Kennard that the Banff Heritage Corporation ask Banff Lake Louise Tourism for funding of the Heritage Walking Tour Brochure and to approve the reprint of the Heritage Walking Tour Brochures, make the necessary text edits prior to printing and to spend $3400 to have 7000 copies of the Heritage Walking Tour brochure printed. CARRIED HER15-26 Motion by Kennard that the Banff Heritage Corporation proceed with making text changes/update the Tanglewood Button/Plaque and spend the money necessary to correct this. CARRIED 6.5. Update: Banff Avenue Bridge Designation Laforest provided a brief update on the Banff Avenue Bridge; the bridge is owned by the province and as such, if the bridge needs repair/replacement, the province would cover the cost however, there is nothing saying that the province would replace/repair with heritage in mind or what we/town may want. If the municipality decides to designate the bridge, the province could say that the town is now responsible for the entire bridge (repair, replacement, etc). Having an asset like this, would have an implication on our limited reserve fund. The character defining elements are predominately 1986 replicas (not original elements). MacAulay doesn’t believe that the bridge would be able to be designated by the province. It would cost a great deal of money for the town to take ownership of the bridge. Alberta Transportation is responsible for the structure of the bridge. The Town’s Engineering Team would do the surface maintenance, etc. Kennard asked if administration could investigate the possibilities of designating the bridge, the cost implications of fixing the character defining elements and any structural issues fixes cost. More information will be brought back to the Banff Heritage Corporation. 6.6. Update: ‘We live in a postcard’ (2004) Battrum provided a brief update on the work that was completed last year. It is now at a standstill yet there is interest in the community to have an updated version (volume 2). MacAulay mentioned that there is also an interest in stories/lives of those who didn’t have the chance to contribute to the We Live In A Postcard book. Also, there are groups on Facebook called “Growing Up In Banff” and on the web Encyclopedia of Banff History and Encyclopadia Banff History. MacAulay to ask these groups for Laforest and all corporation members to become part of these groups.

Undertaken in conjunction with Canadian architect, Francis Conroy Sullivan of Ottawa, the Pavilion was completed in 1914, serving the town for 25 years before its premature demolishment in 1939. The purpose of this proposal is to present a case for the resurrection of the Banff Pavilion, with the hope of securing approval from both Town Council and its residents for the re- creation of this architectural treasure. Under the conditions of the federal land lease, authority to re-erect the Pavilion resides with the Town of Banff. As such, we are appealing to council, the community and other stakeholders for their support and collaboration in completing this project. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT REVIVAL INITIATIVE The Frank Lloyd Wright Revival Initiative aims to promote the legacy of this celebrated architect by rebuilding certain structures that, for various reasons, have been demolished. Over the course of Frank Lloyd Wright’s life, Frank Lloyd Wright designed and built over 500 structures, many of which have become icons of design.

  • A Look Back on Ottawa's Railway Heritage
    Heritage Ottawa NEWSLETTER Dedicated to Preserving Our Built Heritage Winter 2005 Volume 32, No. 1 A look back on Ottawa’s Railway Heritage By David Jeanes ne hundred and fifty years ago on Christmas O Day, 1854, scheduled rail service first began on the Bytown and Prescott railway. The line linked Ottawa to Montreal and the United States via Ogdensburg and a year later to both Montreal and Toronto via Prescott. Without this railway link, Ottawa likely would not have become the capital of Canada and its lumber industry would not have developed into the largest in the world by the end of the nineteenth century. But how much of the architectural and engineering heritage of Ottawa’s railways remains from the early years? Last spring, one of the oldest pieces from that era was destroyed when an 1854 stone arch under an abutment of the old railway bridge from Photo: David Jeanes New Edinburgh was demolished due to concerns CPR 1898 railway bridge over Green’s Creek about the safety of the public pathway which passed beneath it. A bronze plaque commemorating both two attractive stone arch bridges of the same date the first railway and the bridge piers which remain cross Green’s Creek near Highway 417. The O-Train standing in the river will soon be erected at the site still uses a hundred-year-old steel bridge, brought by the National Capital Commission (NCC). here from Magog, Quebec in 1914, over the Rideau Other hundred-year and older railway bridges River at Carleton University. can be found around the city.

  • Faith in Action Ottawa Diocesan Council of the Catholic Women’S League of Canada Volume 5 Number 1
    FAITH IN ACTION OTTAWA DIOCESAN COUNCIL OF THE CATHOLIC WOMEN’S LEAGUE OF CANADA VOLUME 5 NUMBER 1 SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT My CWL council is composed of people like me. I help to make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am. It will do great work, if I work. Its meetings will be meaningful and lively, if I help make them so. It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver of my time and talents. It will bring other women into its fellowship, if I invite and bring them. It will be a council of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, and a council with a noble spirit, if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things Therefore with the help of God and Our Lady of Good Counsel, I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my council to be. Notes from Joanna “Faith in Action”, what a great name for our diocesan newsletter; let us share what is going on in our CWL councils. Taking my own advice I am sharing some events that have happened since our Diocesan Executive Meeting and Pot luck lunch in September. October 1-3: I attended the Provincial Executive Meeting in Toronto. It was great to meet and spend time with the other diocesan presidents and provincial officers. I really learned a lot and am sharing this with our team. October 4: The annual gathering to remember our murdered/missing Aboriginal sisters took place on Parliament Hill.

( Group of Seven, 1920). This Group included Paul Alfred, Harold Beament, Frank Hennessey, Florence McGillivray, Graham Norwell, Yoshida Sekido, and David Milne, in one of his few incarnations as an 'Ottawa' painter. This 'Group' was intended to be Ottawa’s equivalent to Toronto’s Group of Seven and Montreal’s Beaver Hall Hill Group; it wanted 'to keep alive a healthy interest in art, modern Canadian art in particular.' Soon after the exhibition, Beament and Norwell left for Europe and Milne returned to New York, while the others carried on, individually or in conjunction with the activities of the Art Association.'' (pg 23, History of Art and Artists of Ottawa and Surroundings, 1790-1970: Part II, 1880-1945,The Ottawa Art Gallery, 1995). Paul Alfred Paul Alfred (pseudonym of Alfred Ernest Meister) (1892-1959), was born at Hanley, Staffordshire, England, to Mr. and Mrs. John E. Meister. He was educated at Hanley's Northwood National School from 1896 to 1906, and the Polytechnic School of Art at Hanley between 1902 and 1906. Thereafter, he emigrated to Canada. In 1920, Alfred returned to England where he studied at the Chelsea Polytechnic in London. Upon completion of his degree, he returned to Canada where he became employed as a publicity artist for the Natural Resources Branch of the Department of the Interior from 1921 to 1931.

  • Writing Statements of Significance
    Manitoba Guidelines Writing and Editing Statements of Significance HE INFORMATION PRESENTED in this guide has been prepared to help Manitoba contractors and editors write and edit Statements of Significance T (SoSs), that critical section of the Canadian Register of Historic Places that describes the reasons why historic places have been deemed important, why they are valued by Canadians and what must be identified for the creation of good conservation plans. The first section of the document, General Writing Guidelines, has been reproduced from materials prepared by HPI over the past few years. It is imperative that contractors clearly understand the purpose for each section of the SoS (Description of Historic Place, Heritage Value of Historic Place and Character-defining Elements) and that the directions and hints provided there are frequently consulted during the preparation of an SoS. It is assumed that contractors have attended Alastair Kerr’s SoS workshop on values-based management and that they are familiar with the theory and content provided in that exercise. While the General SoS-writing Guidelines are critical for understanding the theory and practice of writing a Statement of Significance, they cannot anticipate the various challenges that arise during the actual creative process (and this is a creative process). And they do not establish the standards that will be applied in Manitoba. It is for this reason that this document has been prepared. The key elements that have been added to the “General Writing Guidelines” are: • Three Manitoba Examples • Analysis of Three Manitoba Examples • Review of Three First Drafts • Workshop Proceedings Writing and Editing Statements of Significance 2 The collection of information in these four sections highlights organizational processes and writing techniques that should help in the creation of good SoSs.

  • PERLEY ALMA CULTURE LECTURE III ART PHOTOGRAPHY. FILM The
    PERLEY ALMA CULTURE LECTURE III ART PHOTOGRAPHY. FILM The Francais Theatre was located on the west side of Dalhousie Street, and opened in 1914. R. E. Maynard owned the Francais Theatre, which had 999 seats. It closed in 1961 as the Francais Cinema Ottawa Openings up to 1920 In 1920, the year Loew's Ottawa theatre opened, thirteen Ottawa theatres were advertising motion picture entertainment. These were: the Dominion, the Russell, the Regent the Imperial, the Family, the Centre, the Strand, the Français, the Nationale, the Casino, the Princess, the Fern and the Rex. At the time, three of these, the Dominion, the Russell and the Family, featured combined movies and vaudeville. The Dominion, which opened as Bennett's vaudeville theatre in 1906, has already been described (see Fig. 12). It was the only theatre of the three that presented vaudeville for most of its life. It came to a fiery end in 1921, and was not replaced. The 1,733-seat Russell theatre had opened in October 1897, adjoining the Russell Hotel at the corner of Queen and Elgin (Fig. 127). When it opened, Ottawa already possessed a "legitimate" theatre, the Grand Opera House, erected in 1874 at 134 Albert Street at a cost of $40,000. The Russell replaced the Grand as the hub of Ottawa's cultural life, and soon the latter was offering its red plush seats and royal box to patrons of popular price melodramas.1 By 1909, the Grand had turned to vaudeville and movies. It burned down, together with a "nickel" theatre beside it in 1913.
