SUMMARY:Ed Talk: Puppets\, Performance\, and the Pursuit of Art in Community
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Royal Alexandra Hall on Wednesday\, August 28th at 7:00pm to be educated\, entertained and inspired by artist Marcel Dou Roig\, the man behind the “iconic elephant mascot Ed” showcased during Ed Fest 2023! \nMarcel will be sharing his process and passion for art through a presentation and improv performance\, including dancing\, painting\, and playing piano! \nFREE REGISTRATION \n  \nArtist’s BIO \nMarcel Dou Roig has been a performer for 25 years. His initial interest and pursuit of the arts began in his native hometown Sant Celoni\, a small town near Barcelona Spain. He was introduced to the stage theatre in his teens\, where he performed in several productions in the community theatre until he decided to move to Barcelona and become a professional actor. During his time in Barcelona\, he studied theatre\, dance\, and voice technique while performing in professionally. He was professionally showing in theatre\, cinema\, television\, and a variety of different street performances\, from tap dancing\, to street puppets.  With the company Sarruga\, he travelled Europe and South America building and performing with street puppets. These giant/oversized animals and insects were showcased in the streets of cities and towns for festivals and festivities. During this time Marcel was able to learn the mechanics and staging of these fantastic shows during his time with them. \nMarcel spent several years performing as a professional with different companies. He also created his own shows and performances while in Barcelona. But\, he eventually moved to New York City to further his learning. He studied dance and theatre in all capacities\, he also created his own dance company and performed some of his creations in NYC. Marcel has always valued learning about all different types of arts and dedicated himself to performing with different companies. One of which was focused on dancing with horses. It was a site specific company that made dance compositions with horses utilizing horsemanship techniques. It was  a unique show and experience because it travelled to different locations using different horses each time. To further develop his horsemanship\, Marcel moved to Florida\, were he studied  under very prestigious horse trainers in the show Arabian Nights in Orlando as a performer and horseback rider. \nWhile in Florida Marcel met his partner and they both moved to Canada.  Marcel took some time off from performing while starting a family. Now Marcel and his family call Cranbrook home as of October 2022. He is now ready to continue and build upon his passion in the arts. He has recently performed in the latest Key City Theatre production “Cabaret\,” and is thrilled to share his passion for the arts with this wonderful community.

SUMMARY:Ed Talk: Jenny Feick
DESCRIPTION:Canada’s Great Divide Trail (GDT) traverses the vicinity of the high elevation continental watershed divide designated as the interprovincial boundary between Alberta (Alta.) and British Columbia (B.C.). It crisscrosses the vast northwest to southeast trending Canadian Rocky Mountains for more than 1\,100 kilometres from the US/Canada border in Waterton Lakes National Park in the south to Kakwa Provincial Park in B.C. in the north. Although not always officially designated and sometimes merely a wilderness route\, it inspires today’s adventurers to walk some of the same paths as the initial Indigenous peoples and European explorers in the area. The GDT has become one of the most spectacular and demanding long‐distance trails on the planet\, providing hikers with challenges\, scenic rewards and inspiration. But\, how did it arise? \nJoin Dr Jenny Feick\, author of Tales from the Great Divide\, Vignettes on the Origins and Early History of Canada’s Great Divide Trail and Great Divide Trail Association for an evening of stories and photos about how the vision for the Great Divide Trail originated and its route devised. You will journey back to the 1960s\, 1970s and 1980s when the daunting challenge was to consider thousands of square miles of rough and often unmarked terrain to define and establish the GDT route from Mount Robson Provincial Park\, B.C.\, south to the US/Canadian border in Waterton Lakes National Park\, Alberta. Over the years\, several idealistic individuals felt compelled by the vision of a long-distance trail along the crest of the Rockies. Their dedication and tenacity kept them going in the face of challenging and sometimes even life-threatening adventures\, expanding industrial developments and motorized recreational use\, financial limitations\, and bureaucratic obstacles. The work completed in those early days and in the decades to follow laid the foundation for today’s successful GDT and the Great Divide Trail Association. \nRegister Here\nAbout the Speaker \nJenny Feick is an environmental biologist and geographer whose career with Parks Canada and the B.C. Ministry of Environment gave her field experience and an understanding of land use and policy issues in the mountains of western Canada. She currently provides technical editing and environmental policy research services through Nature Wise Consulting. Part of the history of Canada’s Great Divide Trail since 1973/74\, she maintains an active interest in seeing it completed and its corridor protected. \n  \nThis picture\, taken by her husband Ian Hatter on July 21\, 2018\, shows her where she loves to be — out on the High Rock Section of the Great Divide Trail in Alberta.

SUMMARY:Ed Talk - Lost Cranbrook: Memories of the Post Office 50 Years After its Demolition
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED EVENT:\nPlease note that this event is no longer taking place on July 21st. It has been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. It will now take place on Wednesday August 4th\, 2021 from 7:00-8:00PM MT.\n \nOn July 6th\, 1971 Cranbrook’s historic post office was demolished after 58 years standing as an architectural highlight on Baker Street. This July\, 50 years later\, we invite local historian and Cranbrookian\, Jim Cameron\, to share the history of the 1913 post office and how its demolition came to be. Jim Cameron will be presenting his talk in our historic Royal Alexandra Hall\, the first in-person public program that we will be hosting following the province’s reopening. \nAn Introduction to the Post Office History: In 1908\, the dominion government announced the purchase of three vacant city lots on the corner of Baker Street and Hanson Avenue\, to serve as the site of a Dominion Post Office and Customs building. The plans for the structure gained immediate approval among the people Cranbrook\, not least for its handsome appearance but also for its importance in the establishment of the city as a district centre. The Post Office\, perhaps the most admired and photographed building in Cranbrook over the years\, opened in 1913\, and served the city well until a warm July day in 1971\, when\, in a great cloud of dust and disbelief\, it completely disappeared.   \nMore About Our Presenter:\nJim Cameron was born and raised in Cranbrook\, B.C.\, where his family roots go back well over a century. A professional musician\, artist and author\, he has dedicated a great deal of time and research to local Cranbrook history. Writer of the popular and long-running newspaper column “Janus – Cranbrook Then and Now\,” he has more recently authored two very successful history books: Cranbrook Then and Now – Volumes One and Two.         \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPlease note:  \nThis event will be taking place in person at the Royal Alexandra Hall. For this reason\, we are limiting our capacity to 50 registrations.

SUMMARY:Ed Talk: Memories of Japanese Migrant Sex Workers in Transpacific Kootenays
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin the Cranbrook History Centre on June 23rd\, 2021\, to welcome Professor Ayaka Yoshimizu as our monthly Ed Talk speaker.

SUMMARY:Ed Talks Panel: Building Community in Heritage Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Join our panelists for an evening of reflection on what heritage buildings mean for Cranbrook and our many diverse communities in the present day. They will share their thoughts on the difficult decisions that accompany the restoration of historic buildings\, the benefits of operating out of a heritage building\, why it is important for them to house their organization in a heritage building and more. \nOur Featured Panelists: \nFerdy Belland is a long-time contributor to Cranbrook’s arts and culture communities\, with a multifaceted and colorful career combining music\, theatre\, carpentry\, journalism\, and events promotion spanning over 30 years. In January 2020 he and his partners purchased the venerable Armond Theatre building in Downtown Cranbrook; their ongoing renovation and restoration will see the Armond reopen post-pandemic as a sustainable multipurpose performing-arts facility and community hub\, boosting downtown revitalization\, nightlife resurgence\, cultural reinvigoration\, regional tourism\, and civic pride.  \n  \n  \nHuyas\, hu qakⱡik Janice Alpine. Early in my career I wanted to ensure I would make a difference on people’s outlook on life. I was a key individual in conducting many research surveys\, policy development in education\, housing and safety regulations that have assisted with the current agreements my nation has in place today. I then moved on to enhance my education and took an intensive course in Tourism and Hospitality Management – Hotel and Motel Management a two-year program that was condensed into nine months and successfully passed with a 4.0 average. Utilizing my newfound knowledge took me from project development manager of our current prestigious St. Eugene Mission Resort to Band management\, to becoming my own consulting business for over twelve years assisting my communities in developing policies and procedures in all aspects of band administration and governance. Currently I am a Business Development Officer and most recently added Tourism Engagement to my duties with the Kootenay Aboriginal Business Development Agency. In my tenure with KABDA I work with entrepreneurs to reach their goals by offering business support. In 2011 I challenged the Technical Level of Aboriginal Economic Development and received my certification though Nicola Valley Institute of Technology. As I advanced in my position I was able to acquire my certification in Later Violence and offered the workshops through the Ktunaxa Communities and at the Ktunaxa Nation Council level and organization staff and Nazko First Nation in Quesnel BC. I worked with Small Business BC to become a Taking the Stage facilitator for women in business. In 2015 I was awarded the Volunteer of the Year Awarded through Community Future’s BC. I was also nominated for the Kootenay Business Magazine Inspirational Business Woman of the year in 2012. In 2018 I received my Ombuds certification through York University. I have been involved in many volunteer efforts since 1999 that include Manager for Ktunaxa Nation Dance Troupe\, and sit on many boards and committees: Community Futures East Kootenay\, Ministers Tourism Engagement Council\, Kootenay Rockies Tourism\, Cranbrook Tourism\, College of the Rockies Business Management Program Advisory\, ʔakisq̓nuk Housing Authority\, Qat̓muk Steering Committee\, Crown of the Continent Executive and Columbia River Treaty Heritage Project Steering Committee. In my free time I assist my community with their governance structure which is proving to be favorable. Taxas! \n  \nPeter Schalk. Having resided in Cranbrook for the last 55 years\, I have been in\, and shopped at\, the historic buildings in Cranbrook. The history and architecture of those buildings are ingrained in my mind and when they are torn down and replaced\, I feel we all lose a piece of our past.\nI have been part of the Cranbrook Community Theatre Society (CCT) for almost 35 years in many capacities: Actor\, builder\, Board member and preservationist.\nSince 2013 I have participated with others in writing grants to renovate our building “the Studio/Stage Door”. We are proud that we have been successful in achieving our goal: to preserve a historic building which was an integral part of Cranbrook’s past. \n  \nFred Williams. Five-years-ago\, my partners and I decided to invest in a heritage building as the location for a craft beer gastropub. We wanted to create a space where people like us could get together and have meaningful conversations while enjoying the best food and beer BC has to offer. A ninety-year-old red brick building was the perfect spot for this social hub. I have a background in business and construction\, but I wanted my next project to contribute to the culture and vibrancy of Cranbrook and allow me to enjoy the Kootenay lifestyle with my family. Like all heritage buildings\, ours had its peculiarities and required creative solutions. My Kootenay life\, depending on the day\, requires me to be a dad\, husband\, housekeeper\, plumber\, electrician\, heritage building restorer\, and bartender. I am grateful for them all. \n  \nDue to recent public health measures\, the panel will be conducted on zoom for the safety of participants and attendees. \n[gravityform id=”8″ title=”true” description=”true”] \nThank you to the East Kootenay Community Credit Union\, without whose funding Ed Talks would not be possible.
