    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.

  • MOUNT LORETTE, FALL 2010 with Notes on the Steeples, BC Site Www
    MOUNT LORETTE, FALL 2010 with notes on the Steeples, BC site www.eaglewatch.ca Peter Sherrington Research Director, Rocky Mountain Eagle Research Foundation Introduction The Mount Lorette site is located in the Kananaskis Valley in the Front Ranges of the Rocky Mountains (50o58’N 115o8’W) 70km due west of Calgary and immediately north-east of the Nakiska Ski Hill on Mount Allan. At this point the valley trends north-south and cuts obliquely across the NW-SE oriented trend of the Front Ranges. To the east of the observation site the Fisher Range has an average elevation of about 2500m with Mt. McDougall rising to 2726m. Mount Lorette itself is 2487m and is a continuation of the Fisher Range to the NW. To the west the mountains of the Kananaskis Range are somewhat higher and include Mount Kidd (2958m), Mount Bogart (3144m) and Mount Allan (2819m). The observation site is in a cleared area on the valley floor known as the Hay Meadow at about 1433m. The site allows 360o views of the surrounding mountains and allows monitoring of raptors moving along the mountain ridges to the east and west, and especially those crossing the valley between Mount Lorette and the north end of the Fisher Range. The site is unique in that it allows observation of approximately the same high percentage of a population of migratory Golden Eagles both in spring and fall at exactly the same site, which has in the past been occupied for up to 190 days in a year. When downslope cloud obscures these mountains an alternate site at Lusk Creek, 13km NE of the Hay Meadow site, is used to observe birds moving along the westernmost foothills ridge that have been displaced to the east from the Front Ranges.

  • Shaw Charity Classic Earns Prestigious President's Award
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 21, 2014 CHAMPIONS TOUR ANNOUNCES 2014 TOURNAMENT AWARDS Shaw Charity Classic Earns Prestigious President’s Award PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – The Champions Tour announced today the best tournaments of the 2014 Champions Tour season. Four specific categories are recognized – the President’s Award, the Players Award, the Tournament Business Affairs Award and the Outstanding Achievement Award. Miller Brady, Senior Vice President & Chief of Operations for the Champions Tour, announced the Shaw Charity Classic, staged at Canyon Meadows Golf & Country Club in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, as the recipient of the President’s Award, a most prestigious award which captures the criteria of all the awards plus the intangibles that make it stand out from the rest. The Shaw Charity Classic’s charitable giving exceeded $2 million for the second consecutive year. It also marks the first time since the award was established that a tournament staged outside of the United States has won the President’s Award. “The Shaw Charity Classic was an exceptional event in its first year and elevated its performance and stature on the Champions Tour in its second,” said Brady. “Tournament officials attracted one of the strongest fields of the season; a direct result of players convincing those who skipped the inaugural event that it was a ‘must play’ tournament. Everyone involved should take great pride in how the event has rapidly developed. It’s certainly very deserving of the President’s Award.” Following the inaugural Shaw Charity Classic, which produced a runaway seven-shot victory by Rocco Mediate, this year’s huge galleries witnessed the most exciting finish of the season.

  • July 25, 2018 Vijay Singh and Colin Montgomerie to Return to Calgary
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 25, 2018 Vijay Singh and Colin Montgomerie to Return to Calgary for Shaw Charity Classic —International stars focused on helping to make a positive impact on Alberta youth — CALGARY—Vijay Singh and Colin Montgomerie are coming back to Calgary! Two of golf’s international stars bring additional firepower to an already stellar Shaw Charity Classic field that features fellow World Golf Hall of Fame members Davis Love III and Bernhard Langer. “Both Vijay and Colin have been fierce competitiors for many years on the PGA TOUR and continue to play at a very high level on the PGA TOUR Champions,” said Sean Van Kesteren, executive director, Shaw Charity Classic. “They are two of the best players of all time so it is great to have them back to entertain our passionate fans.” Vijay Singh will be swinging into Calgary on a hot streak. The 55-year-old Fijian captured his first major on the PGA TOUR Champions two weeks ago when he won the Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship in a playoff over 2015 Shaw Charity Classic Champion, Jeff Maggert. It was the second individual victory of the year, and of his career, on the over-50 Tour. His first win came at the Toshiba Classic in March. He also captured the 2017 Bass Pro Legends of Golf title with Carlos Franco. "Winning my first tournament (on the PGA TOUR Champions) at the beginning of the year was big, and now I have my first major, so I look forward to winning a lot more now,” said Singh, who finished in eighth spot at last year’s Shaw Charity Classic.
