This shared anniversary means that the festivities of the sesquicentennial – 150 years since Confederation – form a backdrop to the institution’s 50th birthday. We get to share in the cake and fireworks, and also in the self-reflection that anniversaries bring. One of the things the years have brought us is a cadre of alumni, people who have attended this small liberal-arts university in the Alberta prairies, and found it to have been a defining time in their lives. Terry Whitehead is one of these people. He has been at the forefront of past graduates of this young university, who have felt driven to keep their connections to Lethbridge strong, and to support and inspire those who come after them. He has done this in many ways, including through founding prizes for excellence in short fiction, playwriting, and historical scholarship. The HistoriCity Prize is part of this. In 2012 Terry Whitehead founded this prize for the best essay on a topic of local history or history of the university. -

Canadian Rail No269 1974
Rail SHOVEL ON A LITTLE MORE COAL! Colin J. Churcher ,.' hould you ever decide to join the Railway Branch, Surface Iransport Administration, S Department of Transport, Government of Canada, you can expect to become involved in a variety of undertakings, most of which are related to a greater or lesser de gree to railways. But who could have imagined that an apparently innocent tele- phone call in mid-April 1973 would have projected me into the steam locomotive procurement and operation business? It was unb~lievable, but it was a fact. A steam locomotive was required for operation in the Ottawa, Canada area by July 1, 1973 and I was expected to pro cure it. When I became involved, the terminal date was about 75 days away. I n the early 1970s, steam locomotives were like gold: precious and scarce. But there were and are a number of diligent modern-day prospectors like Mr. Duncan du Fresne of the Air Traffic Control Section, Air Administration, Department of Transport. You might think that a person working for Air Traffic Control would not know anything about railways but, in Dunc's case, the exoct opposite is the case. Dunc could tell me that a group in Toronto had an opera- ting steam engine, which just might be available for the proposed Ottawa operation. Taking a chance, I made a telephone call and, within a short time, I had determined that Ontario Rail Association did have an ex-Canadian Pacific Railway 4-6-0 Locomotive, Number 1057, which was available for the summer season. -

2021 Economic Development Profile
Town of Raymond ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY PROFILE Town of Raymond: Economic Development Community Profile 1 Welcome to the Town of Raymond The Town of Raymond is a small community situated on the vast expansive prairie in southern Alberta. Founded by a prominent member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jesse Knight in 1901, Raymond has a rich and complex history deeply rooted with the Church. The Church of Jesus Christ significantly influenced the planning and development of the Town, which mirrored other Mormon communities in southern Alberta. The area’s history spans thousands of years encompassing First Nations groups in the region, and later, early settlers, who harnessed the agricultural potential of the open rugged prairie through the development of large- scale irrigation projects. The community’s positioning along the railway, roughly halfway between Magrath and Stirling, the Church of Jesus Christ’s presence, available arable land, extensive irrigation systems, and the establishment of the Knight Sugar Factory in 1903, made Raymond highly attractive to immigrants from the United States, Europe and neighbouring provinces. Original Subdivision Plan of the Town of Raymond Today the Town is a growing urban centre with state-of-the-art recreation facilities, a competitive tax rate and a strong sense of community. Our schools are the largest in the school division, new houses are growing, and many new professional services are locating within our community. The hard work and determination of our pioneer settlers have established an expectation of excellence and respect for our heritage and these values will see us through as we see what is in store for Raymond over the next hundred years. -
