  • Brooks to Bassano, Alberta - C
    CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY B R O O K S S U B D I V I S I O N - PART 2 - BROOKS TO BASSANO, ALBERTA - C. van Steenis, Chestermere, Alberta 30 Oct 2009 The Canadian Pacific Railway built the transcontinental main line across the dryland prairie east of Calgary in 1883. To attract settlers to farm the area, early in the 20th century the CPR built major irrigation works to render the land from Tilley to Calgary suitable for farming, such as the Bassano Dam seen above on 10 Oct 2009. The arrival of farm settlers mandated the construction of grain elevators throughout the area; this generated grain traffic for the railway. Today, grain, potash, chemical, intermodal, lumber and general merchandise dominate the railway traffic on the main line from Medicine Hat to Calgary, known as the Brooks Subdivision. CPR SUBDIVISIONS 1883 – 2009 (1) Except for the 46 miles between Gleichen & Shepard, which were replaced in 1914 with a 41-mile more southerly route, the CP main line has changed little since it was built in 1883; the branch lines that were built in the early part of the 20th century have virtually all disappeared 100 years later as have most of the traditional wood crib grain elevators and railway stations along those lines.

  • Brooks Aqueduct
    Brooks Aqueduct – A Quick Overview • As final payment for the construction of the national railway, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) was given 3 million acres of land between Medicine Hat and Calgary. To encourage settlement of the desert-like land, the CPR developed an irrigation system. • A valley, two miles wide and sixty feet deep, prevented irrigation of the area northeast of Brooks. The CPR built the Brooks Aqueduct across this valley, pushing the limits of engineering technologies of that time. o constructed from 1912-1914, it was the first aqueduct in the world to use the hydrostatic catenary design (the natural shape a flexible material would take when suspended between two level supports and filled with water) o largest steel reinforced concrete aqueduct in North America, possibly the world o longest aqueduct yet constructed to carry such a large volume of water o siphon passes under the railway • There were many challenges during the design construction of the aqueduct. o as many as 300 men worked on the construction of the aqueduct at peak summer times o water had to be brought in by train from Suffield (40 miles to the east) o gravel was brought in by train from Keith (140 miles to the west) • The untested engineering technologies faced challenges within a year of the first water going through the aqueduct. o maximum flow rate achieved by aqueduct only about two thirds of the design capacity . small drop in elevation over the valley hindered a greater flow rate and allowed greater aquatic growth which also slowed the flow of water .

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.

    Provincial Newsletter No. 32 January 2019 Happy New Year!!! The work of the archaeologist is to save lives; to go to some senseless mound of earth, some hidden cemetery, and thence bring into the comradeship of man [and woman] some portions of the lives of this sculptor, of that artist, of the other scribe; to make their labour familiar to us as a friend; to resuscitate them again, and make them to live in the thoughts, the imaginations, the longing, of living men and women; to place so much of their living personality current side by side with our own labours and our thoughts. W. M. Flinders Petrie (1904) President’s Note Shawn Bubel Happy New Year everyone! 2019 is going to be a busy year for the Archaeological Society of Alberta. Be sure to watch for information about activities and events happening across the province through our various media outlets, including the ASA Newsletter. We would like to formally welcome Colleen Hughes, our new Provincial Coordinator. She has been an active member of the ASA for several years and brings a wealth of experience in public education and outreach to the position.
