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.” URL:https://canmoremuseum.com/event/stories-of-canmore-book-club-lawrence-grassi/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://canmoremuseum.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/s-20-5.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Canmore Museum":MAILTO:info@canmoremuseum.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20220131T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20220131T173000 DTSTAMP:20260404T020531 CREATED:20211228T093430Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220106T181821Z UID:10000373-1643644800-1643650200@canmoremuseum.com 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.

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. He also attended Oxford\, Indiana University\, the Colorado School of Mines and McGill University\, in addition to studying photography under a number of teachers and at the Banff School of Arts. Lawrence now lives in Calgary\, Alberta. \nLawrence is a well-known and celebrated documentary photographer\, focusing on the culture and history of Canadian coal miners. Having previously worked in the mining industry in a variety of capacities\, his intimate knowledge allowed him to establish a camaraderie with this unique group of individuals. His long-term passion has led to the publication of six books\, which include not only riveting pictures\, but also the personal stories of his subjects. \nLawrence has been awarded a fellowship in the Canadian Institute of Mining\, Metallurgy and Petroleum and was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 1999. His work has been shown in exhibitions in Edmonton\, Calgary\, Banff\, Canmore\, Blairmore\, Red Deer\, Ottawa\, Regina\, Sydney (Nova Scotia) and Minto (New Brunswick).

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.

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).

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.

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.

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 URL:https://canmoremuseum.com/event/stories-of-canmore-book-club-4/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Book Club ORGANIZER;CN="Canmore Museum":MAILTO:info@canmoremuseum.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20211026T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20211026T173000 DTSTAMP:20260404T020531 CREATED:20210929T013335Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210929T052403Z UID:10000358-1635264000-1635269400@canmoremuseum.com SUMMARY:MEMBERSHIP MONDAY DESCRIPTION:Join the museum’s new Collections Officer\, Mercedes Cormier\, for a behind the scenes look at the Museum’s collections and archives.

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 URL:https://canmoremuseum.com/event/stories-of-canmore-book-club-3/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Book Club,Program ORGANIZER;CN="Canmore Museum":MAILTO:info@canmoremuseum.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20210927T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20210927T113000 DTSTAMP:20260404T020532 CREATED:20210903T180203Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210903T180203Z UID:10000355-1632736800-1632742200@canmoremuseum.com SUMMARY:Membership Monday DESCRIPTION:Member Mondays are monthly member only events that focus on learning and socialization.

Do you want to learn more about the themes highlighted in the monthly books? Do you need a way to spend more time with your Canmore Book Club friends? 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.

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:20210429T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20210429T173000 DTSTAMP:20260404T020532 CREATED:20210327T030426Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210327T030426Z UID:10000340-1619712000-1619717400@canmoremuseum.com SUMMARY:Stories of Canmore Deep Dive: Stories of Italian Coal Miners DESCRIPTION:Expanding on themes in her new book From Sojourners to Citizens\, Dr. Adriana Davies will look at Italian involvement in Alberta coal mining.\nAbout this Event\nDo you participate in the Canmore Museum Stories of Canmore Book Club?
