SUMMARY:NOVEL IDEAS BOOK TALK | MARY GRAHAM
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Canmore-based Creative Director and Cultural Amplifier Bridget Ryan\, Novel Ideas brings people together to explore ideas and perspectives related to Canmore culture\, history\, place\, and identity with local authors\, spoken word artists\, historians\, and musicians.\nAs part of our Family Day Big Weekend events\, host Bridget Ryan welcomes musician Phillip Alexander Nugent\, John Snow\, and author Mary Graham to the Canmore Museum. Bridget and Mary Graham will discuss her new book\, A Stunning Backdrop: Alberta in the Movies\, 1917 – 1960\, which tells of the unconventional\, untold story of Alberta’s film history\, defined by the terrible beauty of its pristine landscape\, surprisingly important to Hollywood\, and recaptured in lost or ignored Indigenous perspectives and stories. Stories of the Stoney Nakoda First Nations’ near 100-year history in movies will be highlighted by Stoney Nakoda guest John Snow. A book signing will follow. \nDoors open at 6:45 pm\, with live music by Phil Nugent from 7:00 to 7:30 pm\, followed by a book talk from 7:30 to 8:10 pm with an opportunity for audience questions and discussion afterward. Refreshments and appetizers catered by our Canmore culinary team of Chef Dallas Suttie and Chef Darcy Price will be available throughout the evening. \nABOUT THE BOOK \nAlberta’s magnificent landscape has served as a popular location for filmmakers since the dawn of the movie industry. For film pioneers\, Alberta embodied the myth of the Great Northwest\, a primeval mountain wilderness and the last western frontier. In turn\, Canadian entrepreneurs were eager for American studios to drape the Alberta landscape across the backdrop of their movies\, an advertisement without equal. \nA Stunning Backdrop is the untold story of six rollicking decades of filmmaking in Alberta. Mary Graham draws on twelve years of exhaustive research to reveal a film history like no other\, illuminating the deep importance of the province to Hollywood. She explores the often friendly partnerships between American filmmakers and Indigenous communities\, particularly the Stoney Nakoda\, that provided economic opportunities and\, in many cases\, allowed them to retain religious and cultural practices banned by the Canadian government. \nBeautifully illustrated with archival photography and featuring century-old set stills alongside photographs of the locations as they appear today\, by Jean Becq\, Solomon Chiniquay\, Jeff Wallace\, George Webber\, and Paul Zizka\, A Stunning Backdrop is the fascinating\, often surprising\, always unconventional story of film in a province whose rugged\, compelling\, multifarious\, terribly beautiful landscape continues to inspire filmmakers and audiences around the world.\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nMary Graham is a writer\, documentary journalist\, and film historian. She has appeared as a feature film specialist at CBC Radio and ARTE\, the European Culture Channel. She presents frequently about her ongoing work on the importance of Indigenous contributions to Alberta film history in the media\, and at universities\, museums\, and other public venues.\nABOUT THE MUSICIAN \n \nThe seeds of Phill Nugent’s folk-rock sound – sometimes whimsical and sometimes gritty – took root in the northern Canadian wilderness where he was raised. The Yukon-born artist’s background in musical theatre (he first took to the stage at age 5) later evolved into songwriting and self-taught guitar. The juxtapositions that inspire Phill’s songs\, like the comfort of family and the freedom of travel\, or the solitude of nature and connection with an audience\, weave rich storylines into his lyrics. Many of the songs on his first studio EP\, self-titled Phillip Alexander Nugent and released in the fall 2019\, are inspired by his wife Michelle and his sons Miles and Beck.\nABOUT YOUR HOST \nSince 2018\, Bridget has called the Bow Valley home\, where she and Jason Carter own and operate The Carter-Ryan Gallery & Live Art Venue; a gallery by day featuring the amazing work of Indigenous artist Jason Carter. But by night\, you guessed it! Wonderful cabaret fills the walls of the gallery with song and story and yes\, there is even dancing allowed!! After 16 years hosting a morning show on television\, a published author of 5 children’s books\, numerous accolades and awards for various MC/Hosting and charitable events\, she finds herself EXACTLY where she hopes to be – bringing so much insight\, fun and laughter to those who join the Canmore Museum’s Novel Ideas events!

SUMMARY:DOWNTOWN CANMORE HERITAGE WALK
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this event has closed due to reaching max capacity of participants. Join us for our next one on September 9th! \nCanmore has changed a great deal since it was founded in 1883\, evolving from a gritty railway depot to a coal mining town and then finally to an international resort destination. As a center first for the railroad and the industry\, Canmore was a place where you played hard and worked hard. Like many mining towns in southern Alberta and southeastern BC\, the community was faced with many economic ups and downs. \nOver the past century\, its history as a coal mining community has included boom-town architecture\, interesting characters\, exciting events\, and mine disasters. With the closure of the mine in 1979 and Canmore serving as a host community for the 1988 Winter Olympics\, the community has continued to evolve. Today\, it could be argued that as a resort community\, we play harder than we work as we enjoy the incredible mountain vistas and recreational amenities that Canmore offers today. \nWe invite you to experience our rich and colourful past by exploring Canmore’s built heritage and tracing the continued evolution of our community. Our Historical Downtown Walking Tour will take you to 10 places located within a 2 km radius of the Canmore Museum\, each with its own story to tell as part of the cultural and heritage mosaic of Canmore. The tour will start and end at the Canmore Museum. \nHosted in conjunction with Historic Calgary Week 2023.  This event is free for Museum members and the public; Museum members can book tickets online beginning April 1\, the general public can book tickets beginning April 25. \nABOUT YOUR GUIDE \nRob Alexander is a journalist\, author\, photographer\, and historian. He grew up in Canmore\, steeped in the history of the Canadian West and the sights and sounds of a coal mining town. With an affinity for ruins and abandoned sites\, he gravitated towards story and sense of place\, leading him to explore and share the history and heritage of the Bow Valley\, Alberta\, and Western Canada. He is a former reporter for the Rocky Mountain Outlook newspaper (still a freelancer though)\, author of The History of Canmore\, published in 2010 by Summerthought Publishing of Banff. Rob lives in Calgary where he works as the digitization specialist for Libraries and Cultural resources at the University of Calgary.
