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. If you register for the event and can no longer make it\, please notify us so that we can make the seat available to a different attendee. \nFor those who are not comfortable attending the event in person\, we will livestream the presentation on youtube. It will also be kept on our youtube page for those who want to re-visit or who are not available to attend the event. \n[gravityform id=”14″ title=”true” description=”true”]

Please CLICK HERE to go to the livestream. We will have a moderator in the livestream to monitor questions and share them with Sophie during the Q&A.\n  \nA Three-Part Speakers Series\nThe Cranbrook History Centre and Wildsight Kimberley Cranbrook are excited to present ‘Restoring Our Historic Relationship with Nature’\, a three-part lecture series designed to educate and inspire the community to bring an element of traditional wilderness back to urban yards. \nThis series looks to contextualize environmental stewardship work being done by individuals and environmental activism groups such as Wildsight in within a much longer history of Indigenous relationships with nature. It will highlight the way the Ktunaxa used this land before colonial settlers arrived\, and make connections to how these traditions and history influence current environmental practices. \nAttend this series to gain the knowledge and tools help us and our communities move closer to a more sustainable\, equitable\, regenerative and resilient future\, starting with our own backyards. \nLECTURES\nMay 12th – TRADITIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS LAND\nOur opening lecture will bring renowned speaker\, Sophie Pierre from the Ktunaxa Nation to talk attendees through the traditional relationship between people and this region’s land. This lecture will also encourage attendees to consider the relationship between Ktunaxa and the land as well as incorporate some of those traditional practices into their outdoor spaces. \nMay 19th – RE-WILDING YOUR SPACE\nBackyard wilderness enthusiasts Caroline Gregg and Rob Woods will take attendees through the process of creating backyard spaces that attract and support healthy pollinators and fauna. From plant selection to planning and design\, this lecture is informative\, fun and practical. \nMay 26th – ELIZABETH LAKE: PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY’S BACKYARD\nElizabeth Lake is an essential ecosystem within Cranbrook city limits. This lecture titled sees expert Stewart Wilson from the Elizabeth Lake Committee walk attendees through the importance of this ecosystem\, noting local wildlife\, including what each of us can do to ensure that special areas like this can be preserved for not only ourselves but for future generations. \n**Note attendees can register for ONE\, TWO or all THREE lectures. \nPANELISTS\nSOPHIE MAE PIERRE\, granddaughter of Chief Eustace\, was born in Cranbrook\, BC and has lived all her life at ‘Aqam\, the St. Mary’s Indian Reserve. She attended the Kootenay Indian Residential School and the Mt. Baker Secondary School in Cranbrook. Sophie served her community of ‘Aqam 30 years\, 26 as elected Chief\, and was the administrator of the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket Tribal Council for 25 years.  She also served as the tribal chair of the Ktunaxa Nation Council. Sophie was recognized as an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2016.  She also received the Order of British Columbia in 2002. Sophie retired in 2015 and now spends her time as an elder advisor to her community and to the Ktunaxa Nation. \nCAROLINE GREGG AND ROB WOODS moved from Nova Scotia to Kimberley in January 2016\, leaving behind their farm and vast vegetable and flower gardens along with a productive greenhouse. Rob is an avid birdwatcher who records 200 species each year throughout the East Kootenays. Caroline loves to get her hands dirty in the soil growing flowering plants\, veggies and herbs\, stemming from her horticultural education and farm experience. Pairing these passions was a natural starting point to renovate the back yard\, incorporating both of our interests. We invite you to join us on our journey to create a private sanctuary for both wildlife and humans. \nSTEWART WILSON is a former elementary teacher who regularly took his classes from Gordon Terrace Elementary to Elizabeth Lake throughout the school year to foster and develop their awareness and sense of environmental stewardship. Each year his classes would publish A Kid’s Guide to Elizabeth Lake highlighting some of the interesting flora and fauna they learned about during their field trips. Stewart is also an active member of the Rocky Mountain Naturalists\, and is Chair of the Elizabeth Lake Committee. He looks forward to sharing his knowledge and passion for this wildlife sanctuary which he continues to visit regularly throughout the year\, what it has to offer\, and how we can all play our part in ensuring that special areas like this can be preserved for ourselves and future generations. \n  \n[gravityform id=”9″ title=”true” description=”true”] \nThank you to the East Kootenay Community Credit Union\, without whose funding Ed Talks would not be possible.
