The 14th Annual Alberta Business Awards of Distinction took place on February 23, 2005 at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton. Fourteen awards were presented in a variety of categories at the gala event attended by government ministers, business and community leaders, and Alberta First Nations Chiefs.

The Heritage Community Foundation is thrilled to have received the Alberta Human Resources and Employment Employer of Youth Award of Distinction. The award is given to an organization that has demonstrated outstanding achievement in hiring youth and providing them with career - oriented opportunities. The Foundation, established in 1999, has provided work experience to over 300 interns, practicum students, and trainees. Currently, there are 41 employees and over 50 percent of them are under 25. At the gala, Dr. Davies received a second round of applause when she mentioned that 10 of the Foundation’s current interns are Aboriginal.

“I am one of 10 employees over 30 years old that works at the Foundation, and this is the best gig ever,” says Executive Director, Adriana Davies to the audience of 350 upon receiving the award at the podium. “We have 30 web sites and you can see them in September when

we integrate them into the Alberta Online Encyclopedia, a centennial legacy project.”—Adriana Davies

Executive Directors Message

The Centennial year has already been rewarding for the Foundation and the future looks equally bright. In the fi rst two months of 2005, the Foundation received two Awards—the Alberta Chambers of Commerce Award for Business Distinction in Youth Employment and I was recognized as the February Global Woman of Vision.

The acknowledgement for the Foundation’s numerous web projects and programs has given the staff at the Heritage Community Foundation a sense of fulfi llment and a desire to consistently get better at what they do.

All of our web projects and programs, such as the Aboriginal IT/Animation Program, involve the constant support of partners and funders for them to be successful. I would like to collectively thank those individuals, organizations, and government programs, both Federal and Provincial, who have proven their commitment to the Heritage Community Foundation in the last fi ve years. You have helped to create a strong bridge between the communities you serve and our rich Alberta heritage.

Adriana Davies Ph. D.

The Heritage Community Foundation A to Z Campaign The Heritage Community Foundation A to Z Campaign The Heritage Community Foundation

The Heritage Community Foundation is launching the ambitious A to Z Campaign to marshal support from the corporate and private sectors, the community and public-spirited individuals. The primary goal is to sustain Alberta’s heritage information resources through the Alberta Online Encyclopedia. By fall, 2005, all of the Foundation’s current sites will be integrated to create the Encyclopedia making Alberta’s Heritage available on the World Wide Web.

The Government of Alberta has provided $1 million to create the Encyclopedia—the intellectual legacy project of the centenary.

Our challenge is to build the solid base of donors, partners and supporters that will ensure that the Encyclopedia grows and remains free and fully accessible to all. The Campaign Cabinet, led by Chair Jerry Gunn, President and CEO of Precision Giant Systems Inc., has undertaken donor cultivation. They have positioned the Foundation as the charity of choice in this centenary year as everyone’s attention focuses on our identity, pride in being Albertan.

As the momentum builds around the Alberta Online Encyclopedia, we are inviting you to become a part of the A to Z Campaign. Help us to make Alberta’s Heritage relevant and accessible to present and future generations.

A Volunteer from the Northwest Territories — Mary Frost

The Heritage Community Foundation would like to introduce its current volunteer, Mary Frost, who comes to us from the Inuvialuit tribe in the Canadian Western Arctic.

“I strongly believe in the value of learning about ones’ heritage and culture from their own Elders before they go out into the world,” she says. “It is important to carry our ancestors’ stories to keep us strong and resilient for all the challenges life throws.”

Mary’s birth name is Illoak which means, “One Who Disturbs.” Illoak comes from two huge clans: The Carpenters of Banks Island, and The Grubens of Tuktoyaktuk. When Illoak was born, her clan lived the traditional Inuvialuit life as hunters and gatherers. At age six, Illoak was uprooted from her traditional Inuvialuk homeland, placed into the residential school system, inevitably losing her Siglitun dialect thus causing a severance to her familial ties.

“This part of my life was very painful and I was then given the name, Mary Elizabeth Carpenter.” After teaching herself to read and write English upon discovering a discarded book entitled, “Little Women,” by Louisa May Alcott, Mary reclaimed her family and most of her Siglitun dialect. She then wed and raised two daughters, who are now medical doctors, and she is also a proud grandmother.

Mary read an article about the Foundation in the Edmonton Journal that sparked her interest. “‘Aboriginal’, ‘Heritage’, and ‘Elders Voices’, it had all the buzz words!” she says. She contacted Adriana Davies, Executive Director, and upon discussing interest and goals, Illoak agreed to “volunteer to fi t.” Mary now works on the Aboriginal Youth Identity Edukit Project, Phase II.

Mary’s work at the Foundation is complimented by her culture and background, qualities she believes make volunteering a worthwhile experience.

Centennial Milestones

Executive Director, Adriana Davies,Global Woman of Vision for February 2005

Adriana Davies was honoured as the February Global Woman of Vision and was featured in a Global television interview segment with News Anchor Lesley MacDonald. “There isn’t one history. There are many, many layers. And I think that if we make that richness available to students and life long learners, their going to be blown away by it—just like I am,” Davies says in the interview.

Adriana was also recognized at the Global Woman of Vision Luncheon along with all of the 2004 Global Woman of Vision recipients in March.

People of the Coal Mines Travelling Exhibit

In 2004, Ron Ulrich, Director of the Sir Alexander Galt Museum, Lethbridge, initiated the Year of the Coal Miner project. The Year of the Coal Miner Consortium, which included museums and historic sites, the Glenbow and the Heritage Community Foundation, undertook a range of exhibits, special events and web projects as well as a multi-media campaign. The Foundation created the When Coal Was King website that explores coal mining When Coal Was King website that explores coal mining When Coal Was Kinghistory and technology from Drumheller Valley to Fernie in the Elk Valley of British Columbia.

To showcase the contributions of ordinary people, Italian community historian Dr. Adriana Davies was asked to curate the exhibit titled People of the Coal Mines: The Italian Community. This touching and intimate portrait of ordinary people working and living in these early resource-based communities with their cycles of boom and bust come to life through pictures and stories. In addition, through access to audio and video, the authentic voices of these pioneers can be heard.

The exhibit will travel to all partner communities but was launched at the Crowsnest Museum before moving to Park Place Mall in Lethbridge. This is the temporary home of the Galt while it undergoes its major renovation for Alberta’s centenary. Ron and Adriana are pictured in front of one of the exhibit panels that explores immigration. Selected artifacts are included in Perspex boxes.

Funding support was provided by the Department of Canadian Heritage through the Cultural Capitals of Canada program. This enables communities to invest more in the arts and culture to improve cultural services and to strengthen connections with other communities through shared cultural experiences. The grant bridged Alberta and British Columbia.

Website Development ProgramsProgramsMétis in Alberta

The Heritage Community Foundation is pleased to announce

the launch of their newest website—The Métis in Alberta—a website on the fi rst Francophone community in Alberta.

Visit www.albertasource.ca/metis and explore the vast history of the Métis people of Alberta through three themes: The Beginnings, People and their Communities, and Culture and Lifeways.

The Métis in Alberta website was made possible through the fi nancial contribution of Industry Canada’s Francommunautés virtuelles program and Canadian Heritage’s Canadian Culture Online Program, as well as the Government of Alberta’s Community Initiatives Program.

Anti-Tobacco Forum in Ottawa

As an anti-tobacco advocate I was invited to attend this forum on behalf of the Métis National Youth Advisory Council. I have been active in promoting tobacco awareness and control since I was a junior high student and I’ve learned that the best support you can have in the success of quitting smoking, or not starting at all, is from your fellow students and peers.

The highlight of the conference for me was meeting Heather Crowe, who is Health Canada’s advocate for Smoke Free Spaces. Heather Crowe is featured in commercials talking about how after 20 years of working in the hospitality industry she was diagnosed with cancer and she is not even a smoker. “This is not about me; it’s about the future of young people and their future working conditions. I’ve been sick for just two years and already 100,000 people have died [in Canada due to tobacco use]. This is not acceptable,” Crowe says. A lot has been accomplished since Crowe went public with her story, but a lot still needs to be done.

Tobacco awareness and control is a very grave subject matter that is all too often ignored or disregarded by Canadian youth. In learning more and more about reaching the world through the internet, I believe I can make my anti-tobacco message stronger and stronger. Overall, I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with many other youth in order to contribute to Health Canada’s goal on tobacco control.

Famous 5 Launches Online Curriculum Resourcewww.abheritage.ca/famous5

The Famous 5: Heroes for Today website, developed in partnership with the Famous 5 Foundation, was introduced at teachers’ conventions throughout Alberta, and was received with great excitement!

This website tells the story of grassroots democracy in action, and introduces students to fi ve ordinary Alberta women born in the 19th century whose extraordinary leadership changed their world – and made ours far more equitable today.

The new Alberta social studies curriculum includes the study of the Famous 5 at grades 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10; this newly-designed, multi-media website is multi-level so students in both elementary and senior high school can relate to the historical context of the issues. The website chronicles the lives and achievements of Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Irene Parlby and Louise McKinney, whose ultimate legal triumph in 1929 ensured the recognition of women as ‘persons’ under the British North America Act.

Increasingly, Alberta teachers are challenged to engage their students in inquiry-based learning and this site invites students to retrieve and evaluate original-source documents and confl icting viewpoints to build their knowledge as they make connections to other events in Canadian history and contemporary social justice issues.

The site’s Edukits challenge students at both the elementary and junior/senior high levels Edukits challenge students at both the elementary and junior/senior high levels Edukitsto ask questions, synthesize information, take a personal point of view, and then to present a compelling case for that viewpoint. In short, in the words of Emily Murphy, it encourages students “to be equal to the high and splendid braveries” of leadership.
