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. 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). Lawrence has created permanent installations and pieces for a variety of public collections\, including the Canada Council Art Bank\, Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography\, East Coulee School Museum\, the Art Gallery of Alberta\, Edmonton City Hall\, the Glenbow Museum\, the Mendel Art Gallery\, Minto Coal Museum\, Ontario Art Bank\, Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies and the National Portrait Gallery of Canada.\n\nABOUT THE CURATOR \nMary-Beth Laviolette\, Canmore Museum Associate Curator of Art.  Mary-Beth is an avid hiker and independent art writer and curator based in Canmore\, Alberta\, who specializes in Albertan and Western Canadian art. She is the author of A Delicate Art: Artists\, Wildflowers and Native Plants of the West and An Alberta Art Chronicle: Adventures in Recent & Contemporary Art\, 1970–2000\, and co-author of Alberta Art & Artists: A Survey.

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. With a background in community-based anthropology and a passion for social history\, Sarah is a trained anthropologist\, cross cultural communicator\, and youth program creator and facilitator. From a young age\, Sarah has cared deeply about people and knows the importance and power of community.
