The Wild Spirit: Women in the Rocky Mountains of Canada\, is a deep look at the past women who have explored the Rocky Mountains and the creative ways they have captured their experiences.  In this meeting\, we will learn about and celebrate some of the women who have for a time called the Rocky Mountains home. \n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nIn 1912\, Mary Vaux\, a botanist\, glaciologist\, painter\, and photographer\, wrote about her mountain adventures: “A day on the trail\, or a scramble over the glacier\, or even with a quiet day in camp to get things in order for the morrow’s conquests? Some how when once this wild spirit enters the blood…I can hardly wait to be off again.” Vaux’s compulsion was shared by many women whose intellects\, imaginations\, and spirits rose to the challenge of the mountains between the late-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. This Wild Spirit explores a sampling of women’s creative responses–in fiction and travel writing\, photographs and paintings\, embroidery and beadwork\, letters and diaries\, poetry and posters–to their experiences in the Rocky Mountains of Canada.\n\nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nColleen Skidmore is a photography historian and Professor at the University of Alberta. Her research focuses on women’s photographic practices and archives made by women or about women\, and how photography shaped ideas of women in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century North America\, especially in Canada. She has also served in a variety of roles in senior academic administration\, including appointments as Interim Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Vice-Provost and Associate Vice-President (Academic) at the University of Alberta. She is the author of Searching for Mary Schaëffer: Women Wilderness Photography (UAP).

With a growing awareness about the need to create community-based food systems\, one of the ways these movements advocate for change is through the creation of Food Charters\, which outline a community’s values surrounding the foods they grow\, harvest\, and eat. Building on the creation of Food Charters that have been adopted by municipalities across the country\, the Bow Valley Food Alliance began work on the Bow Valley Food Charter in early 2018. Central to the creation of this Charter was a series of community conversations\, workshops\, and take-home conversation kits available to all Bow Valley community members. \nThe Îyârhe Nakoda Nations of the Chiniki\, Bearspaw\, and Wesley have been integral in contributing to the Charter process\, including highlighting the relationship between the Buffalo Treaty and Bow Valley Food Charter. The Bow Valley Food Alliance is particularly grateful for the time that community members have contributed in sharing their knowledge. \nSince the beginning of settlement in the Bow Valley\, large household gardens were a vital food source for Canmore families\, ensuring that they had food through a long winter season. The heritage garden at the Canmore NWMP Barracks continues this tradtiion and is one example of local food gardens contributing to local food sustainability. It is run by a team of volunteers and contributes its annual crop of vegetables and fruits to the Canmore Food Bank.\n\nABOUT OUR SPEAKERS \nThe Bow Valley Food Alliance (BVFA) is a regional organization of passionate citizens and professionals dedicated to addressing food security. BVFA addresses issues regarding access to affordable\, healthy and fresh food in a coordinated way from the continental divide to the foothills along the Bow River corridor (from Lake Louise\, ID9\, Banff\, Canmore\, Exshaw\, MD of Bighorn to Morley and Stoney Nakoda Nations). It is an independent non-profit society to better serve the diverse needs of this unique valley and communities. BVFA supports small and growing local food producers\, ranchers and processors. BVFA encourages equitable\, sustainable practices at all points of the food system. In doing so\, we will strengthen the community’s connection to food and achieve a thriving\, healthy\, environmentally- and socially-engaged community.

Learning the craft of needlepoint in occupational therapy\, Reid eventually returned to Canmore where he was raised\, and began to produce large needlepoint canvasses of his own design. These exceptional works—two of which are in Calgary’s Glenbow Museum’s collection and eight were recently donated to the Canmore Museum—depict some of the Bow Valley’s classic mountain peaks. Join art curator and historian Mary-Beth Laviolette and former Glenbow textile conservator and Canmore resident Gail Niinimaa for this online presentation about Reid and his remarkable woven universe. \n\nABOUT THE ARTIST \nJames Douglas Reid (Jimmy) was born on June 17th\, 1909\, in Bothswellhaugh\, Scotland. Jimmy’s father came to Canada in 1910 and found work in the coal mines of the Crow’s Nest Pass in Alberta. The family\, with 3-year-old Jimmy and four sisters followed in 1912. In 1916\, when the CPR began coaling its main-line locomotives from the Canmore mines\, the family moved to Canmore. \nIn the 1920s and 30s\, Arthur 0. Wheeler established Wheeler’s Walking Tours in Banff and guided guests on one-hundred-and-fifty-mile hiking tours in the mountains.  He started using tent shelters at Mt Assiniboine and Jimmy supplied the camp with a small train of pack horses. In the late 1930s\, he left Alberta and went to work as an engineer in the Hollinger Gold Mine in Timmins\, Ontario.  In 1939\, he married Eunice Elaine McKinnon from Canmore in Ontario and they had three children\, James (Jamie)\, Douglas and Robert. He enlisted with the Royal Canadian Engineers in 1942 and  was sent to Italy as a lietenant and army engineer. \nJimmy was horribly aflicted by his service during the Second World War; he came home early following a medical breakdown during the Allied Campaign in Italy.  He returned to receiv care at the Colonel Belcher Hospital in Calgary and to rejoin his wife and young family and his mother and three sisters in Canmore\, Banff and Blackie.  Jimmy never fully recovered from the war and turned to craft and needlepoint as a way to cope with PTSD.   The concentraton on work and art had the power to calm and stabilize his troubled mind.  10 of his works are now in the collections of the Glenbow Museum; another 8 now reside in the collections of the Canmore Museum.\n\n \nMary-Beth Laviolette\, Associate Curator of Art\nABOUT THE PRESENTERS \nMary-Beth Laviolette\, is an avid hiker and independent art writer and curator based in Canmore\, Alberta\, who specializes in Albertan and Western Canadian art.

Through this narrow depiction\, museums have done a disservice to the real history of women’s contributions to society. Join us as we search the Canmore Museum’s collection for information of the lives of women in early Canmore. \nThis special behind-the-scenes collection tour is being hosted as part of our monthly Membership Monday series and is open to both Museum members and the public to participate; advance tickets are required. This event is part of our Women’s History Month programming. \nThe Canmore Museum participates in the Restrictions Exemption Program.

This month\, we will investigate the geological story of Alberta and how we can find connections between the ancient past and the present day. Guest Percy Strong\, a geologist\, will help us connect the book to the local geological history of the Bow Valley. \n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nAlberta is one of the few places in the world where the past touches the present so directly and profoundly. From Devonian pools plumbed by today’s oil and gas industry\, to Jurassic seams mined for coal\, to a tourist’s view of Cenozoic grasslands bordering the majestic Rockies\, the livelihood and recreation of most Albertans is touched directly by the ancient past. Alberta’s geological history stretches from the Precambrian Era\, 500 million years ago\, to the end of the Pleistocene Epoch\, a mere 10\,000 years ago. \nDrawing on this rich storehouse of evidence\, scientists at the world-renowned Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology\, working with veteran natural history writer Monique Keiran\, offer a dramatic and vividly detailed chronicle of the province’s geological history.\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nMonique Keiran is a journalist\, author\, and editor with a lifelong interest in the environment and science.

Originally published in 1954 by author Annora Brown\, the latest edition adds to the classic with commentary from Mary-Beth Laviolette\, art curator\, and Sidney Black\, an indigenous Elder.\nWe will be joined by Mary-Beth Laviolette\, Associate Curator of Art with the Canmore Museum\, who will guide our discussion. After the event\, a tour of the our heritage flower garden with Susan Suttie will provide a preview of what can be found in the garden this summer.\n\nABOUT THE BOOK\nThrough pen and ink illustrations and stories\, Old Man’s Garden conveys the legends and folklore connected with Southern Alberta’s wildflowers\, native plants\, and Indigenous culture. \nOriginally published in 1954\, Annora Brown’s Old Man’s Garden is a Canadian classic that tells the story of Southern Alberta’s native plants and wildflowers through art and in consideration of Indigenous traditional knowledge from the region. \nAccompanying the new RMB edition of Old Man’s Garden\, Sidney Black of Fort Macleod\, the Indigenous Anglican Bishop for Treaty 7\, provides his own commentary about Annora’s art and writing in relation to the Blackfoot\, while independent art curator Mary-Beth Laviolette broadens the story about the artist’s contribution to Canadian art. \nAlso included in this new edition are full-colour images of Annora’s later paintings of Blackfoot lodges (tipis) and regalia\, the dramatic landscape of the Oldman RIver region such as Waterton National Park\, and her abiding\, lifelong regard for the flora of her homeland. \nAccording to Annora Brown\, Old Man’s Garden is a “book of gossip about the flowers of the West.” A one-of-a-kind work featuring 169 black-and-white drawings of flowers and native plants\, this classic text is about more than botany. Throughout its pages there is a sparkle to her stories of early exploration and settlement\, her concern for conservation\, and her regard for the Blackfoot Nation\, and Indigenous culture. \n>> BUY THE BOOK ONLINE\n\nMary-Beth Laviolette\, art curator and author\, will lead discussion of the Old Man’s Garden \nABOUT THE AUTHORS\nAnnora Brown (1889–1987) was one of Alberta’s foremost early artists. She was formally trained at the Ontario College of Art in the 1920s\, where the Group of Seven and Robert H. Holmes\, one of Ontario’s foremost wildflower artists\, instructed her. Her artistic practice spanned the 1930s to the mid-1980s. Despite the isolation of living in the frontier town of Fort Macleod for most of her life\, Brown made a living as an artist through teaching (including at Mount Royal College\, the University of Alberta\, and the Banff School of Fine Arts)\, illustrating books and magazines\, and selling her brightly coloured paintings in watercolour\, tempera\, and oil\, and later\, serigraph prints. Her work is represented in private collections and various public venues such as the Alberta Foundation for the Arts\, the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies\, and Calgary’s Glenbow Museum. \nMary-Beth Laviolette is an avid hiker and independent art writer and curator based in Canmore\, Alberta\, who specializes in Albertan and Western Canadian art.

Michael’s life as a freelance artist started to really flourish in the early 1980s shortly after he and his wife\, Judy\, married in Canmore. Initially\, he involved himself in very detailed\, realistic pen ink drawings of the wood framed miner’s houses that fascinated him and delved into the realm of experimental printmaking using wood\, linoleum\, card and glass. By the late 1980s\, he moved to painting the mountain vistas and seascapes of his original home with acrylics. He had many joint and one-man exhibitions in England\, Bahamas and Canada. \nJoin art curator and historian Mary-Beth Laviolette in this online presentation with Judy Vincent\, wife of the late Michael Vincent\, showcasing a selection of his works.\n\nABOUT THE ARTIST\nBorn in England\, Michael began to pursue his passionof being an artist after high school. He attended Bournemouth and Poole College of Art from 1961- 65 gaining the National Diploma of Design (N.D.D.) He became an art teacher first at a secondary school in Southampton from 1966-72 and later a graphics teacher at Queens College in Nassau from1972 to 1975. He also taught an adult pottery class in the Bahamas where he met Judy Atkinson. Later at a dance they were both smitten. Michael immigrated to Canada in 1976 and married Judy in Canmore\, her hometown. Their children\, Michael-John and Morgan completed their lives\, arriving in the early 80’s. Judy continued teaching and Michael looked after their children and continued with his artwork at home. \nThis is when his life as a freelance artist really started to flourish. Initially\, he involved himself in very detailed\, realistic pen ink drawings of the wood framed miner’s houses that fascinated him. He was commissioned by many people to draw their houses\, portraits\, old barns\, wildlife and logos.  He delved into the realm of experimental printmaking using wood\, linoleum\, card and glass. By the late 1980’s\, he moved to painting the mountain vistas and seascapes of his original home with acrylics. He had many joint and one-man exhibitions in England\, Bahamas and Canada and his artwork is hanging in many places around the world. In 2006\, Michael was a nominee for the Mayor’s Award for Artistic Achievement. To quote the nominators\, “Michael’s images are immediately powerful and evoke a curiosity about our past\, our heritage and significantly\, provide wonderful insight to our current community as it strives to create a future Canmore while remaining mindful of its past.”\nMary-Beth Laviolette\, Associate Curator of Art \nABOUT THE PRESENTER\nMary-Beth Laviolette\, is an avid hiker and independent art writer and curator based in Canmore\, Alberta\, who specializes in Albertan and Western Canadian art.

It is based on the testimony of over 80 elders from the five First Nations involved in Treaty 7—the Kainai\, Pikanni\, Siksika\, Stoney\, and Tsuu T’ina. Their recollections highlight the grave misconceptions and misrepresentations between the two sides\, due in part to inadequate interpretation and/or deliberate attempts to mislead. \nWe will be joined by the family of Chief John Snow for this program. As direct decendents of Jacob Goodstoney\, a signor of Treaty 7\, they will help guide our discussion.\n\nABOUT THE BOOK\nThere are several historical accounts of the Treaty 7 agreement between the government and prairie First Nations but none from the perspective of the aboriginal people involved. In spite of their perceived silence\, however\, the elders of each nation involved have maintained an oral history of events\, passing on from generation to generation many stories about the circumstances surrounding Treaty 7 and the subsequent administration of the agreement. The True Spirit and Original Intent of Treaty 7 gathers the “collective memory” of the elders about Treaty 7 to provide unique insights into a crucial historical event and the complex ways of the aboriginal people. \nThe True Spirit and Original Intent of Treaty 7 is based on the testimony of over 80 elders from the five First Nations involved in Treaty 7 – the Bloods\, Peigans\, Siksika\, Stoney\, and Tsuu T’ina. Their recollections highlight the grave misconceptions and misrepresentations between the two sides\, due in part to inadequate interpretation and/or deliberate attempts to mislead. The elders consistently report that the treaty as they understood it was a peace treaty\, not a surrender of land\, and that they had agreed to “share” the land with the white newcomers in exchange for resources to establish new economies – education\, medical assistance\, and annuity payments. \nThe book provides both a historical overview of Treaty 7 and an analysis of the literature on treaties generally and Treaty 7 specifically. It makes clear that different agendas\, different languages\, and different world views affected each side’s interpretation of events. \nThis review of the events and interpretations surrounding Treaty 7 takes place at a time when aboriginal and indigenous peoples all over the world are re-evaluating their relationships with imperial powers. It was undertaken in good faith in hopes that it will begin a dialogue that can alter the dominant discourse of Euro-Canadian society\, which has been so damaging to aboriginal people. \n>> BUY THE BOOK ONLINE URL:https://canmoremuseum.com/event/stories-of-canmore-book-club-the-true-spirit-and-original-intent-of-treaty-7/ LOCATION:https://canmoremuseum.com/event/stories-of-canmore-book-club-the-true-spirit-and-original-intent-of-treaty-7/ CATEGORIES:Book Club,Program,Truth and Reconcilliation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://canmoremuseum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Treaty-7-painting-e1410195785838.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Canmore Museum":MAILTO:info@canmoremuseum.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20220627T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20220627T173000 DTSTAMP:20260405T165309 CREATED:20220430T204018Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220430T210041Z UID:10000392-1656345600-1656351000@canmoremuseum.com SUMMARY:MEMBERSHIP MONDAY | GUIDED GEOLOGY WALK DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how the rugged beauty of Canmore’s mountainous landscape came to be\, or how the landscape has shaped the town?

DESCRIPTION:Head down to the Canmore Opera House for the second night of the Canmore Heritage Festival. What better way to kick off the weekend than with a night of great music by talented southern Alberta-based musicians on the Canmore Opera House stage.\nThis family-focused evening is free for the public; non-perishable items for the Canmore Food Bank will be collected. Non-alcoholic beverages and snacks will be available.\n\nWYATT C. LOUIS \nMARI ROSEHILL \nPHILLIP ALEXANDER NUGENT \nIn partnership with the Canmore Folk Festival\, we are excited to be hosting: \nWYATT C. LOUIS \nLouis is a Cree-Métis folk singer-songwriter based in Moh’kinstsís (Calgary) who has made an impact with songs built from soaring melodies\, railroad-like consistent finger picking paired with quiet\, haunting vocals and lyrical phrasing. Louis’s dark\, rustic tales meld folk and soulful blues to tell tales of love\, loss and the journey home. His songs beautiful\, subtle creations that juxtapose emotions\, striking imagery and experiences that charm and envelope listeners. With the sweet and intimate EP On a Journey for the Long Run\, Louis shows why CBC Music’s weekly “Reclaimed” series named him “one to watch” in 2021. This thoughtful nêhiyaw recently released a single called “Dancing with Sue” as a warm\, huggy dedication to the supportive arts community that he has found in Alberta \nMARI ROSEHILL \nMari Rosehill often reflects on life’s subtleties and expresses it best through song. Ranging from soft\, operatic highs\, to full low tones\, her introspective styled lyrics invite you to take a look into how she thinks. Insecurities that have held her back and beautiful moments that propel her forward. The now sober songstress continues on this search for ones self and her artistry helps along the way. A regular at the Canmore Market and venues about town. Mari was a participant in the 2021 Mentorship Project\, mentoring with festival alumna Ndidi O\, and recently opened for Catherine MacLellan at artsPlace. \nPHILLIP ALEXANDER NUGENT \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.\n\nHOSTED IN PARTNESHIP WITH \n\nSPONSORED BY URL:https://canmoremuseum.com/event/concert-in-the-gardens/ LOCATION:Canmore Opera House\, 400 Spring Creek Dr.\, Canmore\, Alberta\, T1W 0C8\, Canada CATEGORIES:Canmore Heritage Festival,Special Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://canmoremuseum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/ConcertGarden.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Canmore Museum":MAILTO:info@canmoremuseum.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20220723T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20220723T123000 DTSTAMP:20260405T165309 CREATED:20220502T024313Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220714T200050Z UID:10000395-1658574000-1658579400@canmoremuseum.com SUMMARY:HISTORIC DOWNTOWN WALKING TOUR DESCRIPTION:Canmore 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. Over 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 in 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.\n\n\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.

The Canmore NWMP Barracks was built in 1893\, making it one of the oldest buildings in the community.  Drop into the Restoration Open House to learn about the restoration of the building firsthand from those involved in the restoration of the building over a six-year period. Examine the volumes of meticulous research that guided the work of over 130 community volunteers\, and hear what some of the learnings were from the project.

\nThe Canmore NWMP Barracks Restoration Project was a true community heritage project.  Vi Sandford\, co-chair of the restoration committee stated to a local news reporter just shortly before the Barracks’ Grand Opening on July 16\, 1995\, “It’s one of those few projects that every segment of the community—from school kids to seniors to the Town Council—has participated in\, and everyone involved has found it rewarding. It’s quite wonderful.“ \nAfter visiting with members of the original restoration team\, head outside to learn from members of our Heritage Garden volunteer team how the grounds are being maintained today\, and to pick up your package of heritage flower seeds. \nLight refreshments will be served throughout the day.
