  • Stronger Together
    Stronger Together Ashley Lam Grade Seven, Colonel Irvine School Word Count:1188 Being born at the Peter Lougheed Hospital in Calgary about thirteen years ago, little did I know that the man behind the namesake of the hospital would have such an impact on my life and the lives of fellow Albertans. Honourable Edgar Peter Lougheed once said, "I'm a community person, I think in terms of community before individual. That's the essence of Albertans and to a large extent that's the essence of Canadians as well.” He demonstrated this belief through his contributions to medical research, political actions and views, and his ability to lead the province of Alberta to strength and prosperity. Honorable Edgar Peter Lougheed was born on July 26th, 1928 in Calgary, Alberta and passed away from natural causes in 2012. Grandson to Sir James Alexander Lougheed, an early senator and accomplished businessman, Mr. Lougheed was destined for greatness. While studying at the University of Alberta he received a BA in 1951 and a LLB in 1952. Later earning a MBA from Harvard University. He then practised law in Calgary, until he joined the Mannix corporation, one of Canada’s largest construction business. Quickly moving up to the rank of vice president then director. In 1965 Peter Lougheed was the elected leader of a small political party, the Progressive Conservatives. At the time the Progressive Conservatives did not have a single seat in the legislature. The start of a strong political party in legislature seemed unlikely. That is until Mr. Lougheed led the party to victory in the 1967 election.

  • Barrier Lake Reservoir the Critters of K-Country: Pine Grosbeaks
    Is it us, or has this been the strangest of winters, weather-wise? If You Admire the View, You Are a Friend Of Kananaskis In this month's newsletter... Rebuilding Kananaskis Country's Interpretive Trails News from the Board: Creating volunteer opportunities for you Other News: The winter speaker series is back -- and so are the bears, plus a survey opportunity Kananaskis Special Places: Barrier Lake Reservoir The Critters of K-Country: Pine Grosbeaks Rebuilding Kananaskis Country's Interpretive Trails by Nancy Ouimet, Program Coordinator We received fantastic news this week. The Calgary Foundation has approved a $77,000 grant to support our Rebuilding Kananaskis Country’s Interpretive Trails project. In partnership with Alberta Parks, the Friends of Kananaskis Country is working to replace interpretive signage that was damaged or destroyed by the 2013 flood. This is the first phase of a much larger initiative to refresh all interpretive trail signage; currently there are 32 official interpretive trails, and we are targeting refreshing 3 trails per year. The goal of this project is to foster a relationship between the visitor, the natural environment, and the flood affected area. This project will enhance visitor’s knowledge, thus positively influencing their awareness and understanding about the natural aspects of the site. More specifically, it will provide an opportunity to share the unique story of the 2013 flood, outline the environmental impacts at various natural sites, and highlight the community’s support and involvement in rebuilding Kananaskis Country. We are adopting an approach of fewer, but more engaging and effective, interpretive signs (4-6 signs) to reduce distractions and allow the site to speak for itself.

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.
