The FWC has had a productive fall. First, we began our year with a successful and well-attended Wine and Cheese Registration Event. Thank you to Cathy, Pat, and others for all your hard work in providing and preparing the food, to Marie and others for manning the registration table, and to those members who volunteered their time at the event to welcome and provide tours to new members. Second, we have recently launched our new website; thank you to Christine for your patience, persistence, and hours of work in making this happen! Finally, the Program Committee (Cathy, Katia, and Judith) is working hard to plan some upcoming club-wide events, including the Robin Hood pantomime at Fort Edmonton in December and the Alberta Legislature tour in March. Personally, I have been enjoying my last few weeks of leave with Emma (now ten months old!) and Kevin. We are looking forward to Emma’s first Christmas with family in Vancouver, and even dressed her up as an elf for Halloween in anticipation. I will return to work full time in January, which seems a bit daunting – but I know many thousands of parents have done it before me, and I know that I have a wonderful network of support from the FWC. In closing, I wish you all a holiday that is warm, bright, and full of fun and friendship!

Evaluation The Capitol Theatre project is located on the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River within Fort Edmonton Park. Although the park houses many historic resources, the park itself was built in the 1960-70's and is not the original site of Fort Edmonton. Therefore, the land does not contain any listed historic sites. There is one archaeology site (FjPj-68) located 140 m northeast of the project area which consists of 2 quartzite flakes. This is the only archaeology site that has been located within 1 km of the project area. Several HRIA's have been conducted surrounding the Capitol Theatre project area; 02-192 assessed directly west of the project area, 03-272 assessed directly southeast, and 04-159 assessed directly northeast.
