  • Eric Church Doesn't Back Down on Holdin' My Own
    ERIC CHURCH DOESN’T BACK DOWN ON HOLDIN’ MY OWN TOUR Standing behind his vow to put face-value tickets in fans’ hands, Church cancels secondary market ticket orders and releases them back to the public - Tuesday, Feb 21 at NOON. Tickets available while supplies last for Eric’s show at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on March 31 at www.AXS.com. Nashville, Tenn. – After witnessing the three-hour, two-set marathon show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center merely weeks ago, Rolling Stone professed, “Eric Church sets the bar.” The exchange in energy with the audience and passion that fuels the man behind the CMA’s Album of the Year is an earned one after years of putting his fans first. Whether it is the dozens in attendance at his first performance in Bethel, New York or the 15,842 in attendance for last month’s breezy night in Brooklyn, it is that unrivaled dedication to surpassing their expectations that is driving another mission: ensuring fans’ hard-earned money is spent fairly on face-value tickets at each and every stop on his 60-plus city Holdin’ My Own Tour. Throughout the Holdin’ My Own Tour, Eric and his team have systematically identified, cancelled and released tickets back to the public that were identified as scalper tickets. Already on the tour, Eric’s management team used a proprietary program to release thousands of tickets back to the public and fans in markets like Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Toronto, Vancouver and Boston. On Feb. 21 at noon local time, the team will release to the official ticketing website all tickets identified as scalper-purchased for the remaining markets back to the public.

  • Portail De L'éducation De Historica Canada the Great Teams
    Portail de l'éducation de Historica Canada The Great Teams Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprint videos for the Edmonton Grads, Montreal Expos, Toronto Blue Jays and the World Series Championships, and the 1976 Canada Cup Team. The Edmonton Grads' astonishing record ended when they disbanded at the beginning of the Second World War. The conflict between East and West was as cold on the ice as off during the 1976 Canada Cup. The Toronto Blue Jay victory at the World Series helped to subdue ever-present concerns of American Manifest Destiny. Each of these teams has helped to represent Canada on the world stage, and in doing so, contributed to the constant evolution of Canadian identity. Aims To increase student awareness of the history of Canadian success in team sports; to increase student appreciation of the historical context of team competitions; to explore how Canadians have defined themselves and the nation through team sports; and, to critically investigate whether team competition is a forum for political and cultural understanding or a venue for increased cross-country animosity. Background When England lost to Germany in the 1990 soccer World Cup semifinal, historian Kenneth Clarke asked then-Prime Minister of Great Britain Margaret Thatcher, "Isn't it terrible about losing to the Germans at our national sport?" She replied, "I shouldn't worry too much; we've beaten them twice this century at theirs." This exchange speaks to the belief that sports is a less violent form of war, and that a country's history can be a story of successive conflicts with other nations.

Introduction This Issues and Opportunities Brief summarizes the technical analyses completed as part of Phase 2 of Edmonton’s Exhibition Lands Transformation (formerly named the Coliseum Station Area Redevelopment Plan). It incorporates the findings from the following project tasks: › Transportation technical analysis › Civil infrastructure technical analysis › Site visits and analysis › Context analysis › Public and stakeholder engagement The summary and discussion provided on the following pages should be supplemented by the more detailed findings of these technical studies, where available, and by the Phase 1 What We Heard Report that describes the results of public engagement to date. The Exhibition Lands project will study the lands centred on the former exhibition grounds located between the Coliseum and Stadium LRT Stations, including the Coliseum arena and EXPO Convention Centre, and the edges of surrounding communities. The study area boundaries (shown on the following pages) have been designed to encompass neighbourhoods with the highest potential for change in the future, and to enable the project to consider transitions and connections between the City lands and existing residential areas, nearby open spaces and the broader transportation network. Note that the project is in a stage of transition, with a focus on creating a more collaborative and transformational vision for the future of the Exhibition Lands.

    REGIONALISM AND PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY Submitted to The Lethbridge Herald for publication by Reginald W. Bibby, Deparment of Sociology, The University of Lethbridge, January 17, 1977. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: R. W. BIBBY Reginald Bibby was born in Edmonton and received his B.A. from the University of Alberta, M.A. from the University of Calgary, and Ph.D. from Washington State University (1974). He taught at York University in Toronto for one year prior to coming to Lethbridge, where he is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology. Professor Bibby is the author of a number of journal articles and is presently writing a series of papers based on his recent major national survey, "Project Canada: A Study of Deviance, Diversity, and Devotion in Canada." His current interests include Canadian Society and the Sociology of Sport. c c 1 "The best way you can help the manufacturers of Canada is to fill up the prairie regions of Manitoba and the Northwest with a prosperous and contented people who will be consumers of the manufactured goods of the east." -W.S. Fielding, Canadian Minister of Finance, turn of the century In a very real sense, eastern Canadians continue to have a colonial attitude towards the west. They assume, for example, that the most successful people in a wide variety of occupations will sooner or later gravitate to Ontario or Montreal. Thus the journalist, the broadcaster, the executive, the doctor, the lawyer, and the professor who lusts after success feels the nagging pressure to sooner or later abandon the boonies of the west and show one's peers that she or he can cut it in the heavy traffic of the eastern big-time.

    Historical Walking Tours of Downtown Edmonton Explore Our Past... he Hudson's Bay Company put Edmonton on Tthe map over 200 years ago in 1795 when it built Edmonton House, Edmonton's first permanent settlement and trading post for the first inhabitants who hunted and fished along the North Saskatchewan River. On October 8, 1904, Edmonton was incorporated as a city. 1 There are four Historical Walking Tours of Downtown Edmonton in this booklet. They can be followed individually or in sequence.
