Bow Valley Square

Bow Valley Square is a four-tower office tower complex in downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The complex constructed in stages between 1972 and 1982 was home to Calgary's tallest building between 1974 and 1976. The complex is owned by Alberta Investment Management Corporation, OMERS and Oxford Properties Group. History The complex was developed by Toronto based Hammerson Canada and consists of four towers built over a period of 12 years, starting with the 17-storey first tower, 39-storey second tower, 33-storey third tower and finally 38-storey fourth tower which was topped off in June 1981. The buildings were designed by Webb, Zerafa, Menkes & Housden Architects and built by CANA Construction Company Limited. In 1985 Hammerson began evaluating construction of a fifth tower which would have been 17 storeys with 9,300 square metres (100,000 ft2) of leaseable space; however, the fifth tower never come to fruition. Boris Zerafa of WZMH Architects received the 1970 Canadian Architect Yearbook Award of Excellence for the design of the Bow Valley Square complex. The design incorporates aspects of the International Style and is noted as one of the more elegant designs in the city for the period analogized as "Cadillac and Porsche architecture" versus the more common "sturdy Buicks and Oldsmobiles of middle management" design prevalent in Alberta during the period. Located in downtown Calgary, the buildings are directly connected by the +15 skywalk system to Fifth Avenue Place to the north, Suncor Energy Centre to the east, and Brookfield Place to the south. A shopping gallery is at the +15 level as well as ground level and contains retail, recreation, services and financial services. Construction started in 1972 and ended in 1981 with the fourth tower. The towers' addresses are 205 5 Avenue SW, 255 5 Avenue SW, 202 6 Avenue SW, and 250 6 Avenue SW. Towers The complex's tallest tower is Bow Valley Square 2, a 39-storey 143 m (469 ft) building topped off in February 1974. It was the tallest building in western Canada when it was built in 1975 and remained the tallest until 1977 when Scotia Centre was completed in 1977.

According to the plaque located at the park entrance: "This natural landscape was donated to the people of Alberta in 1969, by Home Oil Company Limited in memory of its founders Robert Brown Sr. and Major James Robert Lowery. Both men were pioneers of Alberta's oil industry and took part in the early development of the Turner Valley oil field. Robert Brown Sr., who has been called the father of the Alberta oil industry, had numerous successes in the Turner Valley Field dating back to 1914. He amalgamated his many interests into Federated Petroleum in 1940. Major Lowery founded Home Oil on July 10, 192? and completed his first successful well, Home Oil No. 1, in 1928. The two companies were merged in 1951 to form Home Oil Company Limited, which to this day continues to be actively involved in the Turner Valley area."

Burns Building

The Burns Building is a historic six-story building located in downtown Calgary, Alberta. It sits at 237 8 Avenue SE on the end of Stephen Avenue overlooking Olympic Plaza and City Hall. History The building was commissioned by meat baron Pat Burns as the corporate headquarters and flagship market for his empire, Burns Foods. Burns bought the property around 1909 but excavation did not begin until the fall of 1911. Construction commenced in April 1912. 1913 was a big year for building in Calgary. The Palliser Hotel, Lancaster Block, Canada Life Building and the Hudson's Bay store were built. The Herald Building (demolished in 1972 and now the site of the Len Werry Building) was also under construction. In 1923 Pat Burns exchanged the building for the Glengarry Ranch. Original use The ground level provided retail space for Burns' retail meat market. The 130-foot (40 m) long market hall featured twelve 25-foot (7.6 m) high Doric marble columns. Burns leased out the remaining 35,000 square feet (3,300 m2) of office space to a wide variety of tenants. Historian Hugh Dempsey wrote, "the list of businesses which occupied the Patrick Burns Building…reads like a corporate Who's Who." Calgary Power, Alberta Investment and Insurance Brokers, Rocky Mountain Cement and a variety of dentists, doctors, lawyers, realtors, insurance agents and accountants were among the first tenants. Architecture The building was built in the style of Edwardian Classical. The exterior features Lions' heads and other ornamental mouldings sculptured in the surface of the terracotta. Inside white and green Italian marble was used to finish the main stairways and corridors. The building included modern conveniences like steam heating and ventilation. In addition to electricity, each office was equipped with natural gas lighting. Between 1981 and 1984 the building underwent extensive renovations designed by architects A.J. Diamond and Partners with Carruthers and McCullum. Historic status Around 1980 the demolition of the Burns building became a possibility when it was proposed that the property it sat on was needed for the construction of the Calgary Centre for the Performing Arts. In a June 1980 report the situation was clearly outlined. "Our [the city's] urban planning consultants (Hanen and Moriyama) have recommended that two heritage buildings in this block be preserved, namely the Calgary Public Building and the Burns Building. At the time of the recommendation it was thought possible to fit the necessary concert halls and theatres in and around the two old buildings. A more detailed study by the architects for the performing arts group [Stevenson Raines] and their theatre consultants has indicated that while this can be done, a better result can be achieved if the land under the Burns Building were to be available for performing arts purposes." Ultimately the demolition proposal was defeated by one City Council vote. The Burns Building, like the Public Building was saved and incorporated into the design of Performing Arts Centre. In 1987 it was officially designated a Provincial Heritage Resource. See also Pat Burns Burns Manor References
CN U-1-a and U-1-b

The Canadian National U-1-a and U-1-b class locomotives were two subclasses of 37 4-8-2 Mountain-type steam locomotives built for the Canadian National Railways between 1923 and 1924. They were retired between 1951 and 1962. Classes U-1-c/d/e were identical locomotives to U-1-b, built for the Grand Trunk Western. The later class U-1-f is covered elsewhere. Accidents and incidents On 1 September 1947, locomotive 6001 was involved in the Dugald rail accident. It collided with another CN 4-8-2 numbered 6046. No. 6001 was later rebuilt by CN. On 21 November 1950, locomotive 6004 was severely damaged a head-on collision with S-2-a 2-8-2 No. 3538 at Canoe River, British Columbia. It was scrapped in June 1951 (as was the 3538). There was a gap of four years before the next U-1-a or U-1-b went: two were scrapped in 1955, four in 1957, six in 1958, six in 1959, eight in 1960, seven in 1961, and the last two, 6000 and 6001 in 1962. In art U-1-a 6004 is the subject of a 1924 publicity poster by C. Norwich. It depicts the locomotive speeding along in the foreground, while in the background is a pine-covered, snow-capped mountain peak. Across the top is the "Canadian National Railways" logotype; across the bottom are the words, "Across Canada", and in the lower left, above the artist name and date is "The Continental Limited in the Canadian Rockies" Preservation Two locomotives have been preserved: CN 6015 (U-1-a) — Retired 1960; to CHRA, Delson, Quebec. On public display in Jasper, Alberta, since July 1972. CN 6043 (U-1-d) — Retired 1961. On public display in Assiniboine Park, Winnipeg, since March 1962. References
CN Tower (Edmonton)

The CN Tower is an 111-metre-tall (364 ft), 26-storey office building in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The building was built by the Canadian National Railway Company as Edmonton's first skyscraper, and at its completion in 1966 was the tallest building in Western Canada. The CN Tower would remain Edmonton's and Western Canada's tallest building until 1971 when it was surpassed by Edmonton House. History When the Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR) opened its line from Winnipeg in 1905, it built a station northwest of First Street and Mackenzie Avenue (now 101 Street and 104 Avenue). In 1909 this station became a union station, also serving trains of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTP), when that road opened its line from Winnipeg. After the CNoR and GTP were consolidated into the Canadian National Railway (CN), a new Edmonton station was built east of the CNoR station in 1928, as a terminating vista of 100 Street. The 1905 CNoR station was demolished in 1953. The site of the 1928 station became the spot the CN Tower was constructed on in 1966. Plans for the CN Tower were announced in 1963, with construction started on 14 August 1964. Allied Development Corporation of Calgary hired Abugov & Sunderland to design, and Hashman Construction Company to build the $10.5-million CN Tower, which was Western Canada's tallest office building when completed in October 1966. The building officially opened on 4 November 1966 with Lieutenant Governor Grant MacEwan and Premier Ernest Manning in attendance for its opening ceremonies. The CN Tower exemplifies the International Style of architecture and is an early example of the tower-podium design. Canadian National sought to develop a second building in Edmonton as part of a larger downtown redevelopment program, which would have been a 150.1-metre (492.6 ft), 42-storey office building in 1969; however, the project was subsequently cancelled. The CN Tower was purchased by the Calgary-based Strategic Group as part of a distress sale, and the last remaining CN employees moved out of the building in 2008. The CN logo is still over the main entrance and on the top of the building. Built to overlook the old Canadian National rail yard, the building's basement once housed Edmonton's main passenger railway station, until the CN railway tracks leading to Downtown Edmonton were removed in 1998. Since then, passenger trains call at the Edmonton railway station on 121 Street near Yellowhead Trail. The Canadian Pacific Railway terminated at a different station in the city. Passenger trains were discontinued at that station in 1972, with the CPR station itself being demolished in 1978. The building suffered structural damage to the exterior on 18 July 2009, during a severe thunderstorm. Two vehicles were crushed by falling debris at the base of the building.

CN Tower (Эдмонтон)

CN Tower — 111-метровая, 26-этажная офисная башня, расположенная в Эдмонтоне, Альберта, Канада. Башня была построена Canadian National Railway в качестве первого небоскрёба Эдмонтона, а после завершения строительства в 1966 году она была самым высоким зданием в Западной Канаде. Си-Эн Тауэр оставалась самым высоким зданием Эдмонтона и Западной Канады до 1971 года, когда её превзошла Эдмонтон-хаус. История Первоначально строительная площадка находилась на станции CNR Edmonton, которая была построена в 1905 году и впоследствии расширена в 1928 году. Станция CNR была снесена в 1953 году, и территория, на которой было построено расширение, станет местом, на котором будет построена башня CN. О планах башни было объявлено в 1963 году, а строительство началось осенью 1964 года. Allied Development Corporation of Calgary наняла Abugov & Sunderland для проектирования и Hashman Construction Company для строительства башни CN Tower за 10,5 миллионов канадских долларов, которая была самой высокой офисной башней в Западной Канаде, когда она была завершена в октябре 1966 года. На церемонии открытия башни присутствовали вице-губернатор Альберты Грант МакЭван и премьер Альберты Эрнест Мэннинг. Си-Эн Тауэр олицетворяет современный международный стиль архитектуры и является ранним примером дизайна башни-подиума. Си-Эн Тауэр была куплена базирующейся в Калгари стратегической группой в рамках продажи в случае бедствия, последние оставшиеся служащие Канадской национальной железной дороги выехали из здания в 2008 году. Логотип Канадской национальной железной дороги до сих пор находится над главным входом и на крыше здания. Компания Canadian National стремилась построить вторую башню в Эдмонтоне в рамках более крупной программы реконструкции центра города, которая в 1969 году должна была стать 42-этажной офисной башней, однако впоследствии проект был отменён. Построенный с видом на старую канадскую национальную железнодорожную станцию, в подвале здания когда-то находился главный пассажирский железнодорожный вокзал Эдмонтона, пока железнодорожные пути, ведущие в центр Эдмонтона, не были удалены в 1998 году. С тех пор пассажирские поезда, идущие в Эдмонтон, останавливались на железнодорожной станции Эдмонтон, расположенной недалеко от бывшего аэропорта, который был закрыт в 2013 году. 18 июля 2009 года во время сильной грозы зданию было нанесено структурное повреждение снаружи. Две машины были раздавлены обломками у основания здания. Примечания

Коулхерст (Алберта)

Коулхерст (енгл. Coalhurst) је варошица у јужном делу канадске провинције Алберта и део је статистичке регије Јужна Алберта. Налази се на деоници провинцијског ауто-пута 3 на свега 15 км северозападно од града Летбриџа. Варошица се развила као радничко насеље чија привреда је почивала на експлоатацији угља из локалног рудника. У рано јутро, 9. децембра 1935. у руднику је дошло до пожара услед којег је смртно страдало 16 рудара. Убрзо после трагедије рудник је затворен, а варош је стагнирала и губила становништво наредних 40 година. Варошица је деградирана у село а број становника свео се на свега неколико десетина. Захваљујући близини великог града те питомој природи, варошица поново почиње да добија на значају током седамдесетих година прошлог века. Према резултатима пописа становништва из 2011. у варошици су живела 1.963 становника у 785 домаћинстава, што је за чак 28,9% више у односу на попис из 2006. када су регистрована 1.523 житеља у самој варошици.
