Today, visitors enjoy the breath-taking vistas of the Cypress Hills, which have been preserved as Canada’s first Interprovincial Park and Dark-Sky Preserve spanning the Saskatchewan–Alberta border. The Cypress Hills tower some 200 metres above the surrounding prairies—reaching an elevation of 1,468 metres above sea level—and represent the highest point between the Labrador and the Rocky Mountains. Expedition participants will experience the steep rises, lush valleys and pine-scented breezes of mountain air atop this island in the prairies. The area is world-renowned for its rare orchids, rough fescue (grasses), expansive lodgepole pine forests, and for its unique geological, archaeological and historical significance. The area is also home to pronghorn antelope, white-tailed and mule deer, moose, elk, fox, coyotes, bobcats and cougars. The Explorers Club will be hosted by Scott and Theresa Reesor, at their Reesor Historic Ranch which celebrated its 100th birthday in 2016. The Reesors are very excited to host our intrepid group of explorers. Join us as we celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary by stepping back in time to the 1870s… and further… 1 Imagine the North-West Mounted Police—resplendent in their Red Serge—riding across the prairies; hear Métis legends handed down through generations; and discover Canada's part in the aftermath of the Battle of Little Big Horn.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • Fort Walsh National Historic Site of Canada Canada
    Fort Walsh National Historic Site of Canada A North West Mounted Police post (1875-83) later used (1942-68) to breed horses for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Musical Ride headquarters to Regina in 1882. Fort Walsh was closed and taken apart in 1883. In 1942, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP - formerly the NWMP) purchased the site of the fort. They wanted to use it to raise horses for the force and the RCMP Musical Ride. The RCMP Remount Ranch was built to look exactly like the old fort. In 1968, the RCMP Remount Ranch was transferred to Parks Canada and the RCMP horse-breeding Merryflat, Saskatchewan, Canada ( 1878) program was moved to Packenham, Ontario.

  • Canada's Subjugation of the Plains Cree, 1879–1885
    JOHN L. TOBIAS Canada'sSubjugation of thePlains Cree,ß 879- 885 ONEOF THE MOST PERSISTENT MYTHS that Canadianhistorians perpetuate is that of the honourableand just policyCanada followed in dealing with the PlainsIndians. First enunciatedin the Canadianexpansionist literature of the 187os as a means to emphasizethe distinctive Canadianapproach to and the uniquecharacter of the Canadianwest, 1 it hasbeen given credence by G.F.G. Stanleyin his classicThe Birth of WesternCanada, • and by all those who use Stanley'swork as the standardinterpretation of Canada'srelationship with the PlainsIndians in the period 187o-85. Thus studentsare taughtthat the Canadian governmentwas paternalistic and far-sightedin offeringthe Indiansa meansto becomecivilized and assimilatedinto white societyby the reservesystem, and honest and fair-minded in honouring legal commitmentsmade in the treaties.• The PlainsIndians, and particu- larly the PlainsCree, are saidto be a primitivepeople adhering to an inflexiblesystem of traditionand custom,seeking to protectthemselves againstthe advanceof civilization,and takingup armsin rejectionof the reservesystem and an agriculturalway of life.4 This traditional Doug Owram, Promiseof Eden: The Canadian Expansionist Movement and the Idea of the West,•856-•9oo (Toronto •98o), •3•-4 G.F.G.
