The NWMP Barracks Provincial Historic Site is delighted to announce the return of a popular summer program this year on Sunday afternoons in August from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. \nArt in the Park: Sunday Social is our nod to past traditions of gathering up the entire family and bringing them to the mountains for fresh air\, picnics\, and impromptu socials. With the amazing work our volunteers have put into the gardens and grounds at the NWMP Barracks\, a Sunday Social seemed the perfect excuse to invite our friends to come round. \nIf the picturesque setting of the NWMP Barracks was not enough of a draw\, local musicians will play between 1:30pm and 3:30pm. You can expect to see musicians delivering everything from classical to jazz standard to world music while guests relax next to our amazing gardens. You can also sip from another stream of creativity while on site as we will be working with local artists and artisans to host demonstrations and “live art” while offering their pieces and products for purchase. \nMUSIC | Heather Jean Jordan \nHeather Jean Jordan is a professional Singer-Songwriter and Educator based in Banff\, Alberta. Growing up on a farm in rural Manitoba she fell in love with the magic of communal music-making and the majesty of nature. A Classically-Trained Singer & Pianist\, and Self-Taught Ukulele Player\, who loves to write\, perform and share the joy of music with all ages\, she’s been touring\, performing and teaching locally and across the prairies for the past decade. \nA firm believer in music as a natural healing instinct\, wherever the music leads\, Heather Jean follows. Genre hopping from Folk to Opera to Children’s Music\, or wherever the moment demands\, she is inexorably drawn to those perfectly human moments of togetherness\, and a sucker for a good story and a foot-tapping tune. Her intention in any performance is always to create a connection and break through the shell- be it through laughter\, tears\, or a good old fashioned happy dance. The hope being that we all come away feeling a little more hopeful\, and a lot less alone. \nARTISTS | Dana Roman and Isabelle Guilmette \nDana Roman | Since moving to small town in Canadian Rockies in 1997\, Dana became a studio artist and now works in mixed media and textiles. She won awards for her art locally\, nationally and internationally.Dana was trained as an architect and worked for 10 years in architectural firms\, before she decided to switch to art. For the next 20 years Dana was painting\, designing and manufacturing textile art pieces and artwear made of her painted silks. She wholesaled her production and one of a kind pieces through her Toronto based business Artacious. Dana’s latest pieces use upcycled\, eco-dyed\, hand made\, and painted fabrics. Dana finds inspiration for her art while hiking in the backcountry\, scrambling the mountain. \nIsabelle Guilmette | It is in the spring of 2016 that Isabelle developed a passion for Soap Making. Developing recipes with different oils and natural exfoliants was just the beginning of her creating self care products. She will be joining us to share her love of natural exfoliants and oils and the process to which she is crafting them. \nTo protect the health of our guests\, a number of measures will be in place during the Art In the Park event\, including capacity management on the grounds\, a 6 foot distance between artists\, and hand sanitizer at the entrance and at each artist tent. Visitors are highly encouraged\, though not mandated\, to wear masks.

Challenging\, eye-opening\, instructive and soul-searching\, this collection nonetheless delivers an overriding message of hope and possibilities. Alberta is our place now; we can still sustain the best of it\, and bring out the best in ourselves\, if we choose to know it well and care for it better. \nThe Canmore Museum is happy to announce that Author Kevin Van Tighem will join us in our discussion!\n\n\n FREE EVENT | REGISTER TODAY!

This book brings to life the untold story of Italian immigrants in Alberta from the 1880s to the present. It places them in the narrative of province building from work on railways\, mines and other industries to breaking the land for agriculture. Oral history excerpts allow the men\, women and children to speak for themselves. What emerges is an unquenchable desire to make good\, and overcome intolerable working conditions and discrimination\, which culminated with enemy alien designation and internment during the Second World War. The book also provides an exploration of the impact of Government of Canada’s multicultural policy on the process of assimilation for the post-war influx of immigrants. It offers a prototype of an immigrant community’s movement from marginalization to the mainstream. \nThroughout April we will be joined by Dr. Davies for deep dives into the research process and coal mining.

From one of Canada’s most decorated Olympians comes a raw but life-affirming story of one woman’s struggle with depression. \nIn 2006\, when Clara Hughes stepped onto the Olympic podium in Torino\, Italy\, she became the first and only athlete ever to win multiple medals in both Summer and Winter Games. Four years later\, she was proud to carry the Canadian flag at the head of the Canadian team as they participated in the opening ceremony of the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. But there’s another story behind her celebrated career as an athlete\, behind her signature billboard smile. \nWhile most professional athletes devote their entire lives to training\, Clara spent her teenage years using drugs and drinking to escape the stifling home life her alcoholic father had created in Elmwood\, Winnipeg. She was headed nowhere fast when\, at sixteen\, she watched transfixed in her living room as gold medal speed skater Gaétan Boucher effortlessly raced in the 1988 Calgary Olympics. Dreaming of one day competing herself\, Clara channeled her anger\, frustration\, and raw ambition into the endurance sports of speed skating and cycling. By 2010\, she had become a six-time Olympic medalist. \nBut after more than a decade in the grueling world of professional sports that stripped away her confidence and bruised her body\, Clara began to realize that her physical extremes\, her emotional setbacks\, and her partying habits were masking a severe depression. After winning bronze in the last speed skating race of her career\, she decided to retire from that sport\, determined to repair herself. She has emerged as one of our most committed humanitarians\, advocating for a variety of social causes both in Canada and around the world. In 2010\, she became national spokesperson for Bell Canada’s Let’s Talk campaign in support of mental health awareness\, using her Olympic standing to share the positive message of the power of forgiveness. \nTold with honesty and passion\, Open Heart\, Open Mind is Clara’s personal journey through physical and mental pain to a life where love and understanding can thrive. This revelatory and inspiring story will touch the hearts of all Canadians.\n \n \n \n Feature Book URL:https://canmoremuseum.com/event/stories-of-canmore-book-club-with-clara-hughes/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Book Club,Program ORGANIZER;CN="Canmore Museum":MAILTO:info@canmoremuseum.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20210527T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20210527T173000 DTSTAMP:20260405T164952 CREATED:20210505T032759Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210507T161616Z UID:10000343-1622131200-1622136600@canmoremuseum.com SUMMARY:Stories of Canmore Deep Dive with Angie Abdou DESCRIPTION:Do you participate in the Canmore Museum Stories of Canmore Book Club?

If so\, please join us for our Stories of Canmore: Topic Deep Dives where guest speakers will add different perspectives to the themes brought up in our monthly book choice. \nIn May the Canmore Museum is reading Open Heart\, Open Mind by Canmore-based six-time Olympic medalist Clara Hughes. To continue our focus on community mental health and wellbeing\, we will deep dive into the topic of mental health and the complicated ways it is tied to sports and families in both positive and negative ways. Angie Abdou\, author of many books including Home Ice: Tales of a Reluctant Hockey Mom\, as well as her new book This One Wild Life: A Mother Daughter Wilderness Memoir will talk about her own experiences with the emotional ups and downs of engaging in competitive sports. As a varsity athlete herself\, and a hockey mom\, Angie will draw on personal experience to lead this exploration. \nAngie Abdou has written six books and co-edited Writing the Body in Motion\, a collection of essays on Canadian Sport Literature. A starred-review in New York’s Booklist declared her best-selling memoir\, Home Ice: Reflections of a Reluctant Hockey Mom\, “a first rate memoir and a fine example of narrative nonfiction.” Angie Abdou is Associate Professor of Creative Writing at Athabasca University.  This One Wild Life: A Mother-Daughter Memoir is now available in bookstores and online. \nHome Ice: Tales of a Reluctant Hockey Mom\nOver 570\,000 people are registered in Hockey Canada and over 600\,000 in Hockey USA. It’s a national obsession. But what does that really mean when your child wants to play on a team? As a former varsity athlete and university instructor teaching sport literature\, novelist Angie Abdou is no stranger to sport obsession\, but she finds herself conflicted when faced with the reality of the struggles\, joys\, and strains of having a child in amateur hockey. In Home Ice\, with equal parts humour and anguish\, Abdou charts a full season of life as an Atom-level hockey mom\, from summer hockey camp to the end-of-season tournament. Her revealing stories and careful research on issues such as cost\, gender bias\, concussion\, and family pressures offer a compellingly honest and complex insider’s view of parenting today’s young athlete in a competitive and high-pressure culture. \nThis One Wild Life: A Mother Daughter Wilderness Memoir\nDisillusioned with overly competitive organized sports and concerned about her lively daughter’s growing shyness\, author Angie Abdou sets herself a challenge: to hike a peak a week over the summer holidays with Katie. They will bond in nature and discover the glories of outdoor activity. What could go wrong? Well\, among other things\, it turns out that Angie loves hiking but Katie doesn’t. \nHilarious\, poignant\, and deeply felt\, This One Wild Life explores parenting and marriage in a summer of unexpected outcomes and growth for both mother and daughter.

Ulrich will also highlight the history of Pride and pride activism in Canmore and the Bow Valley since the 1980s. \nIn his presentation\, Ulrich will incorporate stories from the book Our Past Matters: Stories of Gay Calgary\, the only history book highlighting the stories of the LGBTQ2S+ community of southern Alberta.  In his book\, author and activist Kevin Allen walks the reader through the back alleys and underground gathering spaces familiar to the early gay community of Calgary and southern Alberta.
