Looking for a chance to have dynamic conversations with like-minded locals? Then The Stories of Canmore Book Club is for you! \nFor national indigenous history month\, the Stories of Canmore Book Club will spend June exploring the book These Mountains are our Sacred Places: The Story of the Stoney People.

SUMMARY:Queer History Hour | CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled in light of recent AHS guidelines. We remain committed to hosting the same presentation online at 4:00 pm; visit https://www.eventbrite.com/myevent?eid=168782074729 for tickets.\n  \nSeptember 16 to 19 is the inaugural Canmore Pride Week.  As Senior Curator and also co-chair of the new Canmore Pride Society\, the museum’s own Ron Ulrich will help kick off the Canmore Pride Festival with a discussion centered on the history of the  LGBTQ2S+ community in the Bow Valley and southern Alberta. \nWhile the Canmore Pride Society is making history with Canmore’s first Pride event this year\, the visibility of the LGBTQ2S+ community has steadily increased with successive generations.  Ulrich will explore the Two-Spirit culture of the Stoney Nakoda and some of southern Alberta’s early queer pioneers\, including a participant in the signing of Treaty 7.  He will also explore how\, from the 1940s onward\, the small-town nature of communities such as Canmore forced many who were queer to travel to Calgary to find community\, making the story of Calgary’s queer community also the story of Canmore’s queer community. 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. Meet the characters\, martyrs and heroes who helped forge the LGBTQ2S+ human rights we enjoy today. Allen reveals: “We were here\, and we always have been.” \nThe Museum will be taking orders for the print copy of the book for October\, but participants can order digital copies through Amazon here: https://www.amazon.ca/Our-Past-Matters-Stories-Calgary-ebook/dp/B07WTRCZPJ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8\n\nWatch the Glenbow Museum’s video interview with Kevin Allen as part of Glenbow Museum From Home series. Kevin Allen is the founder of the Gay History Project\, an ongoing initiative to document the lived history of Calgary’s LGBTQ2+ community. He is also a fourth-generation Calgarian\, the first historian-in-residence at Calgary’s Central Public Library and the author of Our Past Matters: Stories of Gay Calgary. Today\, two days before the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall riots\, which are now commemorated annually with Pride festivals around the world\, Kevin helps us explore our city’s little known LGBTQ2+ history. In this conversation Kevin shares his journey to becoming a historian\, highlights the importance of community gathering places like the legendary Club Carousel\, reveals the nuances of language and tells a story that proves Calgary’s gay history goes all the way back to the signing of Treaty 7.

SUMMARY:STORIES OF CANMORE BOOK CLUB
DESCRIPTION:Interested in local history? Curious to explore new and old books alike? Wanting to dive into social\, political and environmental topics of the past and present? Looking for a chance to have dynamic conversations with like-minded locals? Then the Stories of Canmore Book Club is for you! \nIn October the Stories of Canmore Book Club will look at the national best selling book The Company: The Rise and Fall of the Hudson’s Bay Empire by local historian and writer Stephen Bown. Author Stephen Bown will join the meeting to answer questions and join in the group discussion.\nThe story of the Hudson’s Bay Company\, dramatic and adventurous and complex\, is the story of modern Canada’s creation. And yet it hasn’t been told in a book for over thirty years\, and never in such depth and vivid detail as in Stephen R. Bown’s exciting new telling. \nThe Company started out small in 1670\, trading practical manufactured goods for furs with the Indigenous inhabitants of inland subarctic Canada. Controlled by a handful of English aristocrats\, it expanded into a powerful political force that ruled the lives of many thousands of people–from the lowlands south and west of Hudson Bay\, to the tundra\, the great plains\, the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific northwest. It transformed the culture and economy of many Indigenous groups and ended up as the most important political and economic force in northern and western North America. \nWhen the Company was faced with competition from French traders in the 1780s\, the result was a bloody corporate battle\, the coming of Governor George Simpson–one of the greatest villains in Canadian history–and the Company assuming political control and ruthless dominance. By the time its monopoly was rescinded after two hundred years\, the Hudson’s Bay Company had reworked the entire northern North American world. \nStephen R. Bown has a scholar’s profound knowledge and understanding of the Company’s history\, but wears his learning lightly in a narrative as compelling\, and rich in well-drawn characters\, as a page-turning novel. \nREGISTER NOW

DESCRIPTION:Interested in local history? Curious to explore new and old books alike? Wanting to dive into social\, political and environmental topics of the past and present? Looking for a chance to have dynamic conversations with like-minded locals? Then the Stories of Canmore Book Club is for you! \nAs we look to commemorate Remembrance Day in November\, we are featuring our first fiction book\, If the World is Yours by R.M. Clark\, a charming tale awash in Banff history that takes you deep into the lives of the toffs and townsfolk who resided in Alberta”s Rocky Mountains when the Great War broke out. The author\, who is based both in the UK and in the Bow Valley\, will be joining us. \nR.M. Clark always loved wild landscapes. She grew up surrounded by the hauntingly beautiful glens of Scotland and eventually settled in the powerful and mysterious mountains of Alberta. I’ve always cherished the aspiration to write a novel with a connection to my beloved province\, and my inspiration came on a snowy evening when I took shelter in the grande dame of the Canadian Rockies\, the Banff Springs Hotel. The Gothic Revival architecture; the astounding view over the valley; the history of the two worlds meeting: servants and guests; British and backcountry. I wandered the great halls of that magnificent building and\, in a fortunate stroke of serendipity\, came upon my characters frozen in time. \nTo learn more about the Bow Valley and Alberta during the First World War\, we have a number of of other publications in the Canmore Museum Book Shop: \n\nThe Frontier of Patriotism: Alberta and the First World War edited by Adriana Davies and Jeff Koshen\nPark Prisoners by Bill Waiser\n\nREGISTER NOW

DESCRIPTION:Interested in local history? Curious to explore new and old books alike? Wanting to dive into social\, political and environmental topics of the past and present? Looking for a chance to have dynamic conversations with like-minded locals? Then the Stories of Canmore Book Club is for you!By joining the The Stories of Canmore Book Club\, you will be able to purchase the book of the month for 15% off in the Museum gift shop and virtually meet local writers and guest speakers. – To claim this discount print out – or show on your mobile device\, your registration confirmation email. \nIn December the Stories of Canmore Book Club will explore themes of community\, home\, and what it means to live in a mountain town with the book\,Lost & Found: Adrfit in the Canadian Rockies\, by Jamey Glasnovick. \nFor many people\, moving to a mountain town is the realization of a dream\, the final step in a pilgrimage to a relaxed lifestyle in a rugged and beautiful setting. After a long journey that began when he was a teenager in the 1980s with the vague idea there might be a better life somewhere “out west\,” Jamey Glasnovic eventually fled the chaos and stress of the big city and tried to settle into an uncomplicated Rocky Mountain existence. \nCanmore\, Alberta\, a small community nestled in a picturesque valley situated right at the edge of Banff National Park\, should have been the perfect end to his searching. A rapidly growing town emerging on the tourism radar can strain anyone’s definition of paradise\, however\, and Lost and Found is Glasnovic’s account of his attempt\, in the fall of 2008\, to recapture the simple wonders of living on the boundaries of a vast wilderness. \nA spirited amble by bicycle and on foot\, inspired by the work of Bill Bryson\, Lost and Found explores the heart of the Rocky Mountain Parks\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its staggering beauty\, and examines the consequences of celebrating that beauty too effectively with mass tourism and over-ambitious development. Eschewing the convenience of motorized transportation\, Glasnovic earns every kilometre that passes beneath his feet\, and along the way he learns a thing or two about feeling profoundly connected to place. An experience some would describe as being home.\nJamey Glasnovic is an avid photographer\, traveler and writer living in Canmore. Jamey has written two books and will be joining us to discuss his first book Lost & Found: Adrift in the Canadian Rockies.

SUMMARY:STORIES OF CANMORE BOOK CLUB:  MUSEUM ACTIVISM
DESCRIPTION:Over the last year the Canmore Museum has engaged in many conversations about what its role is and should be in the community. Join us as we examine the role museums should play in speaking about and acting on issues that affect the communities they serve\, framed around the book Museum Activism. \n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nOnly a decade ago\, the notion that museums\, galleries and heritage organisations might engage in activist practice\, with explicit intent to act upon inequalities\, injustices and environmental crises\, was met with scepticism and often derision. Seeking to purposefully bring about social change was viewed by many within and beyond the museum community as inappropriately political and antithetical to fundamental professional values. Today\, although the idea remains controversial\, the way we think about the roles and responsibilities of museums as knowledge based\, social institutions is changing. Museum Activism examines the increasing significance of this activist trend in thinking and practice. \nAt this crucial time in the evolution of museum thinking and practice\, this ground-breaking volume brings together more than fifty contributors working across six continents to explore\, analyse and critically reflect upon the museum’s relationship to activism. Including contributions from practitioners\, artists\, activists and researchers\, this wide-ranging examination of new and divergent expressions of the inherent power of museums as forces for good\, and as activists in civil society\, aims to encourage further experimentation and enrich the debate in this nascent and uncertain field of museum practice. \nMuseum Activism elucidates the largely untapped potential for museums as key intellectual and civic resources to address inequalities\, injustice and environmental challenges. This makes the book essential reading for scholars and students of museum and heritage studies\, gallery studies\, arts and heritage management\, and politics. It will be a source of inspiration to museum practitioners and museum leaders around the globe.\n\nABOUT OUR  GUEST \nRobert R. Janes is the Editor-in-Chief of Museum Management and Curatorship\, a Visiting Research Fellow at the School of Museum Studies at the University of Leicester (UK)\, an Adjunct Professor of Archaeology at the University of Calgary\, Canada\, and the former President and CEO of the Glenbow Museum (1989–2000). His museum books include Museums and the Paradox of Change (1995; 1997)\, Looking Reality in the Eye: Museums and Social Responsibility (with Gerald T. Conaty – 2005)\, Museum Management and Marketing (with Richard Sandell – 2007)\, and Museums in a Troubled World (2009). Janes has worked in and around museums for 36 years as a director\, consultant\, author\, editor\, archaeologist\, board member\, teacher and volunteer. He continues to champion museums as important social institutions – capable of making a difference in the lives of individuals and their global communities.

SUMMARY:NATURE + CLIMATE + COMMUNITY SERIES: WHAT'S IT LIKE TO OWN A ZEV?
DESCRIPTION:If you have ever wondered how much an electric vehicle (EV) costs\, how far can it drive\, or what charging infrastructure you may need\, this event is for you! William York of the Electric Vehicle Association of Alberta will debunk common EV myths and demonstrate how realistic an EV purchase could be for you. Whether you are an EV expert or interested in learning more\, we invite you to join this free event. \n\nThe Canmore Museum participates in the Restrictions Exemption Program. As a result\, program registrants attending this onsite program will be required to show proof of vaccination\, a negative test result (from within the last 48 hours) or a certificate of medical exemption along with one piece of photo ID. Wearng masks is also be required by all participants throughout the duration of the program This program will also be live streamed for those wishing to participate virtually.\n\nABOUT THE PRESENTERS \nThis event is being run by the Bow Valley Climate Action Society and the Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley\, with support from the Canmore Museum. \nBow Valley Climate Actionis a group of citizens who are deeply concerned about climate change. We live\, work\, or just spend time in the Bow Valley. We are a volunteer organization\, and always welcome new members!  We are a registered non-profit society. They meet monthly to share ideas\, plan upcoming events and activities\, and discuss progress.  They have a number of working groups that focus on the topics of buildings\, transportation and advocacy.  These working groups generally meet independently of the larger group to advance work on their topic area\, and come to regular monthly meetings to report progress\, discuss ideas\, and celebrate achievements. \nBiosphere Institute of the Bow Valley \nThe Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley empowers community leadership on environmental challenges. They do so by providing high-quality environmental education programs to both children and adults\, and by actively seeking community members’ participation\, guidance\, and in-depth collaboration in planning and executing conservation programs. They also lead research to understand whether our efforts meaningfully change public knowledge\, attitudes\, and actions about conservation and nature. \nThe Canmore Museum \nCelebrating our community includes understanding the important role that our landscapes and local environment play in the visitors we see\, the adventures we embark on\, and the stories we tell. For this reason\, we at the Canmore Museum recognize the importance of building an equitable\, nature-positive\, carbon-neutral future. Over the first half of 2022\, the Canmore Museum will be hosting the Nature + Climate + Community Series—co-created in partnership with community organizations\, knowledge holders\, and storytellers in the Bow Valley—to explore the various dimensions of how nature\, climate\, and community interact\, and how we can bolster a sustainable future in Canmore. \nThis event series has been made possible thanks to funding from the Banff Canmore Community Foundation\, the Town of Banff\, the Town of Canmore\, and Natural Resources Canada.

SUMMARY:CANMORE + ART SERIES: LAWRENCE CHRISMAS
DESCRIPTION:Forty years ago\, Calgary-based photographer Lawrence Chrismas created a compelling ‘picture’ of Canmore just as the mines in the town were closing after almost 100 years of continuous operation. Fresh from the Banff Centre on a scholarship\, he began interviewing and taking the portraits of miners as the world they knew was about to change dramatically. This important body of work led the landscape photographer into a new direction; today he has amassed a high-quality collection of 4\,000 miners from across Canada. Now\, Lawrence has returned to Canmore with a donation to the museum of black + white images from that first foray into mining. Join art curator and historian Mary-Beth Laviolette in an online presentation with the photographer and see some of his pictures of Canmore miners. \n\nABOUT THE ARTIST \nBorn and raised in Edmonton\, Alberta\, photographer Lawrence Chrismas attended the University of Alaska and the University of Alberta\, earning a Bachelor and a Master of Science Degree.

SUMMARY:MEMBERSHIP MONDAY: BECOMING A SOCIALLY SUSTAINING MUSEUM
DESCRIPTION:This last year has been one of reflection and change for the museum. As we enter a new year\, we are keen to have a conversation around why the Museum has adopted the Social Museum model and how it is actively working  to engage with the community in meaningful and sustainable ways.  The first Member Monday of the new year will be  a sit down conversation with museum staff and representatives of some of the initiatives the Museum has been working with. This event will focus on two key programs the Canmore Museum is involved in\, OF/By/FOR ALL and Ki Futures.  We are very excited to share some of the steps the museum has been quietly making towards becoming an inclusive and sustainable organization working with and for the Canmore community.  \n\n\n\nABOUT THE PRESENTERS \nDoug Worts. Over the past three decades\, Douglas has published and spoken widely\, in Canada and internationally\, on topics of museum audience\, creativity\, education and the relationship of culture to sustainability.  For almost 20 years\, Doug’s special research and publishing focus has been on understanding and promoting the notion of a ‘culture of sustainability’.  This interest crystallized when he was invited to join LEAD International (Leadership for Environment and Development) – a cross-disciplinary\, global network\, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and created to explore and promote the goal of sustainability.  He is a founding member of the Canadian Working Group on Museums and Sustainable Communities and a recipient of a Senior Research Fellowship from the Canadian Museums Association.  For five years\, during the 1990s\, Douglas taught a graduate course in museum education – part of the Master of Museum Studies Program at the University of Toronto.  A founding member of the Visitor Studies Association (VSA)\, Doug also has been a consultant to many museums and museum organizations\, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London\, the Getty Museum in California and the American Association of Museums.  From 2002 to 2005\, he was co-chair of the Alberta Museum Association’s Museum Excellence Program (MEP)\, helping to foster innovation and effectiveness across Alberta museums.  Douglas’ goal is to bring his unique perspective on culture’s relationship to sustainability into practical applications that foster meaningful societal change.   Most recently\, Doug has been working closely with Ki Culture to develop an intenational community of museums focussed on creating shared tools to foster social and environmental sustainability at a local level. \nSarah Knowles serves as the Canmore Museum’s Visitor + Membership Services Officer.

SUMMARY:STORIES OF CANMORE BOOK CLUB:  LAWRENCE GRASSI - FROM PIEDMONT TO THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS
DESCRIPTION:The name Lawrence Grassi evokes images of exploration in the Rocky Mountains. We will examine the myths and true story of a private man\, immigrant\, miner\, climber\, and guide and connect his story to the wider narrative of Italian Immigration to Canada. \n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nLawrence Grassi was a trailblazer in every sense of the word. A working-class man of humble Italian origins who worked as a labourer and a coal miner for most of his life\, Grassi had a deep passion for the Rocky Mountains. He was famous in the region for his commitment as a guide\, a mountain climber\, and a builder of greatly admired hiking trails. Today\, in or near Canmore\, his name graces a mountain\, two lakes\, and a school\, and he is commemorated at Lake O’Hara in Yoho National Park. \nIn Lawrence Grassi: From Piedmont to the Rocky Mountains\, Elio Costa and Gabriele Scardellato uncover the deeply private man behind this legend\, from his birth in the small Italian village of Falmenta to his long and inspirational career in Canada. Using previously unexamined family letters and extensive information on Grassi’s cohort of Italian immigrants\, the authors reconstruct his personal and professional life\, correcting myths and connecting his story to the long history of Italian immigration to Canada. The definitive biography of this Canadian mountain hero\, Lawrence Grassi will be essential reading for those interested in the history of immigration\, sport\, and the Rocky Mountains.\nElio Costa \nGabriele Scardellato \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nThis biography of the Bow Valley’s famous Italian-Canadian alpinist and trail builder was produced as a collaborative effort by two authors whose research interests differed considerably. Elio Costa is a professor emeritus in the Department of Languages\, Literatures and Linguistics at York University and has taught Italian throughout his academic life\, with a specialization in Medieval literature\, specifically Dante\, but with an interest in contemporary Italian culture and cinema. the late Gabriele Scardellato was an associate professor and the Mariano A. Elia Chair in Italian-Canadian Studies at York University; he was is a historian by training\, and a specialist in Italian-Canadian history and Canadian cultural diversity. \nWhat they have in common are our cultural roots and our immigrant background: they are both immigrants from Italy who arrived at a relatively young age in Canada as part of this country’s mass importation of European labour post World War II.  As colleagues and friends\, they share a conviction that there is a place in academia for what often has been defined pejoratively as immigrant cultures\, or worse\, “Ethnic Studies.”.  They came to the subject by different routes\, but with a fundamental common cultural and personal interest. \nOn Grassi and Canmore\, Costa stated\, “[Grassi] represents the spirit of the community because he gave himself to the community\,” he said\, pointing to the well-used trail he built to Grassi Lakes as an example. “Canmore still breathes the spirit of Grassi in many ways. He represents the coal-mining past and he represents this community’s spirit.”

SUMMARY:NATURE + CLIMATE + COMMUNITY SERIES: BISON + THE LANDSCAPE
DESCRIPTION:Bison are an icon of Canada’s history. They are cultural and ecological keystone species that have returned to the region after nearly a 150-year absence. Join us for this virtual event to learn more about the important role that bison play in ensuring a nature-positive future. \nBison are ecosystem engineers. They shape the landscape in ways that help many other plants and animals\, ranging from bugs to birds to bears. Shedding their winter fur that is used by birds to line their nests is one example of the many ways bison impact the ecosystem including: \n\nGrazing and wallowing creates habitat for a range of animals including elk\, ground squirrels and badgers.\nAs North America’s largest land mammal\, bison provide a rich source of nutrients for scavengers\, bears and wolves.\n\nBison are also vital to the history and culture of many indigenous peoples. For thousands of years\, many Indigenous nations traveled through the Bow Valley hunting bison and burning forests and meadows to improve habitat quality for bison and other animals. For Indigenous peoples\, bison traditionally provided a range of life-sustaining resources. \nGUEST SPEAKER\nMarie-Eve Marchand is a system entrepreneur who grew up in Quebec and calls Banff National Park home. She was part of the group of people who successfully coordinated the movement to bring the plains bison back to Banff National Park and is has also been working on the implementation of the Buffalo Treaty with over thirty indigenous communities from Western Canada and USA and with multiple stakeholders across North America on bison restoration for over a decade.
