King George School (Calgary, Alberta)

King George School (KGS) is a public French immersion elementary school in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is operated by the Calgary Board of Education (CBE). Shared building The school offers many programs and activities, with many theme days all chosen by class representatives, who meet every month to discuss current school issues. Representatives bring up topics discussed from their homeroom class, to listen and take action the suggestions of the students. TLC offers a special character education program, which features virtues that the school encourages students to take into their daily lives by. Each month a different virtue is selected, and a special half-period is spent each day before lunch ('Character Circle') to discuss that, doing activities as well fitting with the course. However, next year, the TLC program has been decided and finalized to move out of the King George building, and into Balmoral School - at last having its own independent building to reside in. It now carries the Mandarin project from Langevin. History The school name was selected to honor the 1910 coronation of George V of the United Kingdom. The school was built in 1912, and was opened in 1913. As was typical of the time in Calgary, the original structure was made from sandstone. From then until 1988 it operated as a regular English language school, for the nearby community (teaching grades K-9 before the end point). However, as young families moved to outer lying areas in the city, enrollment tapered off, and there was progressively more bussing of students from newer communities that didn't have their own school yet. In September 1987 the school became a dual-track English and French immersion elementary school. In 2002, continued declining enrollment, meant the school was turned into a single-track French immersion program. French immersion French immersion is generally for students from English language families, who wish their children to speak French fluently. The primary language of instruction in most courses is French, although English is taught as a separate course. Students are expected to be, or become, fluent in both languages. French speaking families who wish their children to have a fully French education, will often prefer instead to go to a school run by the French language school district instead (as opposed to the CBE which is English).

Kinsmen Sports Centre

The Kinsmen Sports Centre is a multi-purpose sport and recreation facility located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The land surrounding the facility is called Kinsmen Park, part of Edmonton's city-long North Saskatchewan River valley parks system. Its namesake is the Kinsmen, a service organization. The Kinsmen Sports Centre is owned by the City of Edmonton and operated by the Community Services Department. It was the competition site for the 2005 World Masters Games diving, swimming, synchronized swimming and table tennis. Kinsmen Field House The field house was opened January 3, 1968, and was intended to be the first phase of a multifaceted Kinsmen Village that would eventually include an Olympic-size swimming pool and an indoor/outdoor performing arts theatre. At the time of its creation, it was unique among such facilities in Canada and remains the only such facility in North America which is open to general use. Kinsmen Field House once hosted concerts by many famous artists, including Led Zeppelin & Vanilla Fudge (1969), Frank Zappa (1971), Manfred Mann & Kiss (1974), Kansas (1975), Queen (1975), Wishbone Ash (1975), Max Webster (1977), Rush (1975, 1976 & 1977), The Lillo's (1978), Bob Marley (1979), Gary Numan (1980), Motorhead (1981), Ozzy Osbourne (1981), Girlschool, Iron Maiden and The Scorpions (1982), The Clash (1982), Billy Idol w/Platinum Blonde (1984), Kiss (1985) and Uriah Heep (1986). Kinsmen Aquatic Centre In 1976, the Kinsmen Aquatic Centre was added to the facility to serve the 1978 Commonwealth Games. Also added in 1992 was the Keltie Byrne Fitness Centre. Rehabilitation The facility is undergoing a multi-phase rehabilitation project to upgrade and replace aging infrastructure, particularly within its aquatic centre. The work includes improvements to pool basins, as well as mechanical and electrical systems, and upgrades to amenities such as flooring, showers, and lighting. The rehabilitation, which began in the early 2020s, is being carried out in phases to allow the facility to remain operational during construction. The project prioritizes health and safety upgrades, including work on the Don Smith Memorial Pool and the aquatic centre’s deep tank, bringing these facilities up to current standards while extending the lifespan of the centre.

Knox United Church (Calgary)

Knox United Church is a Gothic Revival church located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and is a member church of the United Church of Canada. History Knox Presbyterian Church was established in 1883 Rev. James Robertson, Superintendent of the Western Mission for the Presbyterian Church in 1881. Their first church building was opened on October 21, 1883, a small wooden building. It was completed for $1000. A new, larger, building was constructed at the corner of Centre Street and Seventh Avenue. Designed to seat 330 people it was a stone construction which cost $8,000. As the congregation continued to expand, a subsequent building was erected in 1912–13 at the corner of Fourth Street and Sixth Avenue South, the site of the present day Knox United Church. The church building was designed by Calgary architects Lawson & Fordyce in consultation with Allen & Collens of Boston. The building is one of the most sophisticated examples of Gothic Revival architecture in western Canada. The church split in 1925 after some members of the congregation voted to join with the United Church of Canada. Those who wished to remain in the Presbyterian Church went on to form a new, separate congregation. Current ministry The church has been at front of the movement to welcome gays, lesbians and transgender individuals into the United Church. In March 2007, after a vote at its annual congregational meeting, Knox became an affirming congregation, committed to work for the full inclusion and affirmation of all people in the life and work of the church. The church has one of the largest Casavant Frères organs in western Canada. This forms the centre of a strong music program. A permanent labyrinth was opened in 2005 and is open for daily meditations. The building is now also well known throughout the area as a venue for musical concerts of all kinds and is working to become more involved in the arts community in Calgary.

Lake Agnes Tea House

Lake Agnes Tea House is a popular destination for hikers and tourists. Location Lake Agnes Tea House is situated on the shores of Lake Agnes. Lake Agnes was named after the original First Lady of Canada, Lady Agnes MacDonald, and she was the wife of Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. The beauty of Lake Agnes so delighted Lady MacDonald when she visited it in 1886 that it subsequently bore her name. Both Lake Agnes and the tea house are located in Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, at an elevation of 2,135 m (7,005 ft) above sea level. History The Lake Agnes Tea House was built in 1901 by the Canadian Pacific Railway as a refuge for hikers. It started serving tea in 1905 and has been called the oldest teahouse in Canada. The original log building was replaced in 1981. The new structure features windows, tables, and chairs from the original building. Tourism The Lake Agnes Tea House is only accessible on foot or horseback through what is informally called the Lake Agnes Tea House Trail. Lake Agnes Tea House staff carry fresh food supplies to the teahouse daily. Dry goods (e.g flour, sugar, oats, propane) are flown in annually by helicopter. Before arriving at the lake and tea house, visitors must complete a forested 3.5 km hike. The Lake Agnes Tea House hike has an elevation gain of 400 m (1,300 ft). The trail itself is marked and trafficked. Lake Agnes Tea House is open from June to October; the teahouse is not operational in the cold winter months. The Tea House Challenge Many keen hikers take on the “Tea House Challenge.” This challenge involves visiting the Lake Agnes Tea House and Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House in one day. The two tea houses connect via the Highline trail, forming a 14.6-kilometre loop. It takes around 5 hours of hiking to complete. Beehive Hike Those who hike to Lake Agnes Tea House may also choose to complete the Beehive Hike. The Beehive Hike in Lake Louise is a 10.9 kilometer heavily trafficked trail loop. Recognition The Lake Agnes Tea House is recognized as one of the top-rated tourist attractions in Banff National Park. References
Land Titles Building – Victoria Armoury

The Land Titles Building was a federal government office built in Edmonton in 1893. It later became the Victoria Armoury, and was used by three Edmonton regiments. It is "likely the oldest existing Land Titles Office in Alberta, one of the oldest extant buildings in the province, and certainly the first purpose-built registry office". Located at what is now 10523 100 Avenue, the building was constructed as a larger replacement to the much smaller first Dominion Lands Office in Edmonton (which is now represented at Fort Edmonton Park). It housed the "Crown Land, Timber and Registry Office for the District of Alberta in the North-West Territories". This was the place that settlers registered their claims (land title) to free lands under the Dominion Lands Act. The design of the building is based on a basic plan drawn up by Thomas Fuller, Chief Architect of the Dominion, but is similar to the design of a typical Hudson's Bay Company warehouse. The original design is a bisymmetrical fenestration pattern, which includes a jerkinshead roof with narrow, hipped dormers. Two additions have been made to the building over its lifetime. At one point federal government attempted to move its offices across the river to the rival settlement of Strathcona, but an angry mob sabotaged the effort and there was an armed standoff with the North-West Mounted Police. In 1912 the Land Titles office moved out of the building and it became an armoury. It was then home to several different Edmonton regiments, in succession, over the next half-century: the 19th Alberta Dragoons (1915–39), Edmonton Fusiliers (1940–46), and the 19th Alberta Armoured Car Regiment (1947–48). Subsequently, the building became the offices and laboratories of the Provincial Government Department of Health. The building has been a Provincial Historic Resource since 1977. Since 1995, the building has the home of the Edmonton chapter of the Elizabeth Fry Society, a women's charity, which moved there from former offices in the McLeod Building.

Reconciliation Bridge

The Reconciliation Bridge (formerly the Langevin Bridge) is a through truss bridge in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It connects Downtown Calgary with north-central Calgary communities such as Bridgeland and Crescent Heights, by spanning the Bow River between 4th Avenue South and Memorial Drive. The bridge is part of the Bow River pathway system. On January 23, 2017, Calgary City Council voted to change the name from Langevin Bridge to the Reconciliation Bridge. History The bridge was opened in 1910 and was named for Sir Hector-Louis Langevin, one of the Fathers of the Canadian Confederation. The original span carries southbound 4th Street traffic across the river. A second span, a Box girder bridge built in 1972 carrying northbound traffic on 5th Street (Edmonton Trail NE), is also referred to as Langevin Bridge. In 2009, the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation set up 5,600 programmable lights on the bridge for Christmas, at a cost of $400,000, as a part of Downtown East Village re-vitalization efforts. The LED installation is composed of 5600 LED grouped in 156 programmable light assemblies, and is part of the RiverWalk project, an effort to improve the pathways along the Bow and Elbow rivers adjacent to the East Village. The Reconciliation Bridge is located at 4th Street NE and Riverfront Avenue SE. The bridge was renamed after a majority vote at Calgary city council on Monday, January 23, 2017, with the new bridge being named the Reconciliation Bridge. On May 26, 2018, the bridge was officially renamed in a ceremony. The event included elders and youth to inspire healing and advance reconciliation efforts.

Pokrajinski park Mount Assiniboine

Pokrajinski park Mount Assiniboine (engleski: Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park) je pokrajinski park na zapadnim obroncima kanadskog Stjenjaka na jugoistoku kanadske pokrajine Britanska Kolumbija. Park je nazvan po 3.618 m visokoj planini Mount Assiniboine koju u potpunosti okružuje. Njoj je pak ime dao istraživač George Mercer Dawson 1885. godine jer su ga oblaci na vrhovima planine podsjetili na dim iz tipi šatora Assiniboin Indijanaca. PP Mount Robson, površine 3.905 km², osnovan je 1922. godine, a cijelom istočnom stranom graniči s NP Banffom, dok cijelom zapadnom graniči s NP Kootenayom, s kojima je (zajedno s drugim zaštićenim područjima), upisan na UNESCO-ov popis mjesta svjetske baštine u Sjevernoj Americi 1984. godine pod nazivom „Nacionalni parkovi kanadskog Stjenjaka”. Mt. Assiniboine, koju zbog piramidalnog oblika zovu i „Sjevernoamerički Matterhorn”, se uzdiže 1.525 m iznad jezera Magog (slika desno). Njegov vrh je prvi osvojio James Outram sa svojom skupinom 1901. godine, a 1928. je ovdje osnovano prvo skijalište kanadskog Stjenjaka, Assiniboine Lodge. U parku nema putova i do njega se može doći tek 27 km dugom šetnjom ili helikopterom iz Canmorea (Alberta), ili 35 km od skijališta Sunshine Village (NP Banff, Alberta).
