Through our many granting programs, the Community Foundation supported Southwestern Alberta with over $700,000 in grant funding in 2017. This past year, we were happy to join community foundations across the country and participate in the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation by supporting local initiatives and projects that inspired a deeper understanding of the people, places, and events that shape our communities and our country. These were projects that encouraged broad participation in community and helped build vibrant and inclusive communities. In total, we were able to support eleven initiatives throughout our region with $70,000 in grants. We were proud to support Lethbridge College’s Founders’ Hall initiative with a Canada 150 Grant, an initiative that celebrates indigenous histories and encourages inclusivity on campus. Details about this grant are on the next page. For a complete list of Canada 150 Grants, please see page 10. For those of you familiar with Giving Together, you will notice that, once again this year, each story featured in this publication represents one of our six Vital Signs Impact Areas.

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.
