Alternative High School

Alternative High School (AHS) is a public senior high (secondary) school in Calgary, Alberta, Canada; which teaches grades 10 through 12. AHS is currently located at the Clinton Ford Centre, which was home to the former Clinton Ford Elementary School. AHS was launched, independent of the board, in September 1974 by a parents group. It reflected many of the "alternative education" ideas that were popular at the time. The early philosophy the school borrowed from the ideas of A. S. Neill, who founded Summerhill School. This involved supporting the freedom of children, and opposing the traditional structure and control of most schools. Although, AHS was never meant to be a copy of Summerhill. In 1975 AHS came under the control of the Calgary Board of Education (CBE). Special programs The school helps operate an off-campus class at the Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre. Two teachers from the school help students progressively get back into the regular school system if they are of school age after they reach Level Three of treatment.

Angel Glacier

The Angel Glacier is a hanging glacier which flows down the north face of Mount Edith Cavell in Jasper National Park, Canada. It is named as such because it has the appearance of an angel with out-swept wings. It was significantly larger when it was named in the 19th century and is melting rapidly. The Angel Glacier used to be continuous with the Cavell Glacier below it. It is expected to continue to recede up the north face of Edith Cavell and most likely disappear. Another hanging glacier on this face, the Ghost Glacier, partially collapsed in August 2012. Falling ice caused a glacial lake to overflow, washing out a parking lot and trails. All three glaciers are visible from the Cavell Meadows trail. See also List of glaciers in Canada References

Енджел (льодовик)

Льодовик Енджел — висячий льодовик, що стікає північним схилом гори Едіт Кавел в національному парку Джаспер, Канада. Назва надана через подібність обрисів льодовика до постаті ангела з розпростертими крилами. Льодовик був значно більшим, коли його назвали європейські прибульці в 19 столітті, і продовжує швидко танути. Немає перспективи, що він довго збереже свою форму, рано чи пізно льодовик зникне.

Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation

The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN, Chipewyan: K'ai Taile Dené) is a band government. It represents local people of the Denesuline (Chipewyan) ethnic group. It controls eight Indian reserves: Chipewyan 201 and Chipewyan 201A through Chipewyan 201G, near Fort Chipewyan, Alberta. The band is party to Treaty 8, and is a member of the Athabasca Tribal Council. The ancestors of today's ACFN were evicted from Wood Buffalo National Park by the Government of Canada beginning in 1944, according to research published by the band. The band launched a court challenge in 2007 to an oilsands lease given to Shell Canada by the provincial government which, the band alleged, they were not given a chance to oppose. In 2011, the band lost its suit, but planned to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. The band was the focus of Neil Young's 2014 concert campaign against the Athabasca oil sands development. In the wake of that the band withdrew from the Oil Sands Monitoring program, which they say lacks input from aboriginal peoples and does not address treaty rights. Chief Allan Adam was arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in March 2020, tackling him and punching him severally in the head whilst he lay on the ground.

Atlas Coal Mine

The Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site is an inactive coal mine in Alberta, Canada that operated from 1936 to 1979. Located in East Coulee near Drumheller, it is considered to be Canada's most complete historic coal mine and is home to the country's last standing wooden coal tipple, and the largest still standing in North America. It was designated an Alberta Provincial Historic Resource in 1989 and a National Historic Site of Canada in 2002. History The sub-bituminous coal from the Drumheller mining district was mainly used for home heating, cooking and electrical generation. It was also used to power the steam locomotives of the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways on the prairies. The flat-lying seams were easier to mine than those found in more mountainous areas, with lower levels of methane gas. The coal-mining era lasted from 1911 to 1984, when the Atlas No. 3 and 4 mines closed. The Atlas No. 3 Mine structures are preserved and form the basis of the National Historic Site, administered by the Atlas Mine Historical Society. The mine features the last wooden coal tipple in Canada. Built in 1937, the tipple is a coal loading and sorting machine. At over 7 storeys tall the tipple now serves as a reminder of the rich mining history of the Drumheller Valley. Old mining equipment, including a working pre-1936 battery powered locomotive and several buildings including the wash house, supply house, lamp house, and mine office still stand at the site. The site preserves the stories and artifacts of the men who once mined the black. The Atlas is the last of 139 mines that once ruled the valley. Thirteen people died during the mine's operation. Four died on one day, June 24, 1941, when a gas explosion killed three, and a fourth died in a vain attempt to rescue them. Tourism The facilities are open to visitors from May to Thanksgiving weekend. Guided tours take visitors into the past with a ride on the locomotive (dubbed Linda) and a walk up the tipple. Since 2009, the Atlas has conducted tours of the 210 foot underground conveyor tunnel and the recently restored Blacksmith Shop.

Elle a été désignée ressource historique provinciale de l'Alberta en 1989 et lieu historique national du Canada en 2002. Histoire Le charbon sous-bitumineux du district minier de Drumheller a été principalement utilisé pour le chauffage des maisons, la cuisine et la production d'électricité. Il a été également été utilisé pour alimenter les locomotives à vapeur des chemins de fer du Canadien National et du Canadien Pacifique des Prairies. Les gisements à l'horizontal étaient plus faciles à exploiter que ceux trouvés dans les zones plus montagneuses, avec des niveaux inférieurs de gaz méthane. L'ère charbonnière a duré de 1911 à 1984, lorsque les mines Atlas No. 3 et 4 furent fermées. Les structures des mines Atlas No 3 sont conservées et forment la base du lieu historique national, administré par la mine Atlas Historical Society.

Les anciens équipements d'exploitation minière, y compris une locomotive à batterie pré-1936 et plusieurs bâtiments dont le lavoir, l'entrepôt, le bâtiment de la lampe, et le bureau de la mine se dressent encore sur le site. Le site conserve les histoires et les artefacts des hommes qui, une fois exploitées noir. L'Atlas est la dernière des 139 mines qui régnaient autrefois sur la vallée.

Bar U Ranch

The Bar U Ranch, located near Longview, Alberta, Canada, is a preserved ranch and a National Historic Site of Canada. For 70 years it was one of the leading ranching operations in Canada, that at its peak extended over 160,000 acres (65,000 ha) with 30,000 cattle and 1000 Percheron horses. Two owners were instrumental in the establishment of the Calgary Stampede, forming part of the Big Four. The ranch was founded by Fred Stimson, whose North West Cattle Company kept cattle on 147,000 acres (59,000 ha) of open range between 1881 and 1902. Stimson used the Bar U brand for NWCC stock. From 1902 to 1925 the Bar U was operated by George Lane and his business partners, whose business ventures included meat packing, mills and other farms and ranches. Lane renamed the operation the Bar U Ranch, buying out his partners in 1908. Lane raised both cattle and Percherons. From 1927 to 1950 the Bar U was part of a group of ranches operated by Patrick Burns totalling 700,000 acres. Burns grew grains on the ranch, which remained one of the largest ranches in Canada during the period. After 1950 much of the ranch land was sold. The present National Historic Site is the central remnant, owned by Parks Canada, which bought the property in 1991 and opened it to the public in 1995. The site features costumed historical interpreters and is open daily from mid-May to the end of September every year. A number of prominent personalities were associated with the Bar U. In 1891, Harry Longabaugh, a horse breaker at the Bar U, later became the notoriously infamous outlaw and Wild West gun fighter "the Sundance Kid". Edward, Prince of Wales visited the Bar U in 1919 and was so taken with it that he bought a neighbouring ranch, which he named the E.P. Ranch. Charles M. Russell painted a series of paintings at the Bar U. Ranch cowboy Everett Johnson was reportedly studied as the lead character for the novel The Virginian and the later television show.
