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:Author Reading *Giller Prize Winner Suzette Mayr*
DESCRIPTION:Join the Cranbrook History Centre for an exclusive reading with 2022 Giller Prize Winner\, Suzette Mayr\, and her newest award-winning book The Sleeping Car Porter. The historic Argyle Dining Car\, the real-life setting of the fictional novel\, provides an intimate setting for this half-hour reading\, moderated question period and meet & greet with the author. \n  \nWhat people are saying about The Sleeping Car Porter \n“I couldn’t help imagining what a film Wes Anderson might make of Suzette Mayr’s The Sleeping Car Porter. The novel’s main character is a gay Black porter riding the rails in 1920’s Canada\, coping with a horde of difficult long-haul passengers\, including a child who appears to have permanently attached herself to his leg. Terrified that a breach of one of the railway’s insanely restrictive rules will get him fired before he can save enough money for dental school\, he amuses himself―and keeps awake on his grueling shifts―by imagining the medical horrors that lie behind the smiles (or grimaces) of his clientele.” – The New York Times \n“Mayr’s prose is vivid but never overwrought\, capturing the surrealism of intense fatigue in constant motion … Readers will be captivated.” – Publishers Weekly\, starred review \n“Suzette Mayr brings to life –believably\, achingly\, thrillingly –a whole world contained in a passenger train moving across the Canadian vastness\, nearly one hundred years ago. As only occurs in the finest historical novels\, every page in The Sleeping Car Porter feels alive and immediate –and eerily contemporary. The sleeping car porter in this sleek\, stylish novel is named R.T. Baxter –called George by the people upon whom he waits\, as is every other Black porter. Baxter’s dream of one day going to school to learn dentistry coexists with his secret life as a gay man\, and in Mayr’s triumphant novel we follow him not only from Montreal to Calgary\, but into and out of the lives of an indelibly etched cast of supporting characters\, and\, finally\, into a beautifully rendered radiance.” – 2022 Scotiabank Giller Prize Jury \nAwards \nWINNER OF THE 2022 SCOTIABANK GILLER PRIZE \nPUBLISHERS WEEKLY TOP 20 LITERARY FICTION BOOKS OF 2022 \nTHE GLOBE 100: THE BEST BOOKS OF 2022 \nCBC BOOKS: THE BEST CANADIAN FICTION OF 2022 \n  \nTickets: $40.00 + GST\nTicket includes the exclusive reading\, a copy of The Sleeping Car Porter\, and refreshments. *Limited tickets available*\n*Your included copy of The Sleeping Car Porter can be picked up in advance from Huckleberry Books*  Please present your email ticket confirmation to Huckleberry staff on pick-up \n*Sold Out*\n*All proceeds of this fundraising event will support future programming at the Museum \nAbout the Author \nSuzette Mayr is the author of six novels including her most recent\, The Sleeping Car Porter\, which won the 2022 Scotiabank Giller Award. Her other novels have won the ReLit Award and City of Calgary W.O. Mitchell Book Prize\, and been nominated for the Scotiabank Giller Prize\, the Commonwealth Prize for Best Book in the Canada-Caribbean Region\, the Writers’ Guild of Alberta’s Best First Book and Best Novel Awards\, and the Ferro-Grumley Award for LGBT Fiction. Mayr has also published articles in the peer-reviewed journals Horror Studies\, Canadian Literature\, Studies in Canadian Literature\, The Journal of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature\, and in Antipodes. She is a Professor in the Department of English at the University of Calgary where she teaches fiction-writing.

SUMMARY:BC Heritage Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:It’s BC Heritage Week! To celebrate we’ve put together a quiz of Cranbrook’s ‘firsts’ to test your knowledge of #Cranbrookheritage. Everyone who completes the quiz will be entered to win a beautiful\, framed print of the Cranbrook St. Eugene Hospital generously donated by Dave Humphrey. The print has been framed with wood remaining from the hospital building after it was destroyed by fire in 2002. To earn bonus entries share this quiz on Facebook and Instagram and be sure to tag us @cbkhistorycentre.\n“Heritage is our legacy from the past\, what we live with today and we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration\, our touchstone\, our reference point\, our identity.” UNESCO\nClick Here to start the quiz!\n  \n \nThe building of the Hospital was started in 1900 on five acres of land donated by Colonel Baker. On February 6th\, 1901\, patients were transferred to this new building\, together with a staff of six Sisters and their Mother Superior. Over the next 67 years the hospital buildings were expanded and housed hundreds of patients\, many nurses and many doctors. \nAbout the artist: Lloyd Gordon Burgess (1913-1988)\, was raised in Cranbrook and both his wife and her sister took their nurses’ training in the old building. Lloyd’s wife passed away in 1986 and he wanted to produce a print in her memory and to donate it to the nurses at their St. Eugene Nurses’ Reunion.  Sadly Lloyd passed away before he was able to complete his pen and ink drawing.  Lloyd’s son\, Bryan Burgess\, completed the original print and donated it to the nurses. This original print was handed over to the Green Home where it still hangs today.  Bryan produced a limited run of prints from this original and this is one of those prints now reunited in a frame made with some of the original St. Eugene Hospital wooden timbers. \n*You must be a resident of Canada to win. \n  \n#explorecranbrook #localhistory #bcheritageweek
