"UNKNOWN ASSAILANT CAUGHT," Edmonton Bulletin. March 7, 1913, Page 10. ---- The unknown Italian assailant of P. Blanc, the half-breed teamster from Lac St. Anne, was, late yesterday afternoon, captured by officers of the R.N.W,M.P. some miles north of the scene of the affray. He was brought into Lac St. Anne last night where he will come up for hearing today.

Tuesday afternoon Blanc drove a gang of railroad laborers from Lac St. Anne to a construction camp at the scene of track laying on the C. N.R. Peace River branch. While he was returning home another gang who demanded him to turn around and take them to the camp, which he refused, and in the argument following Blanc was badly cut with a knife and so seriously injured that fears for his recovery are held. Only a very meagre account of the arrest of the alleged assailant was received fast night and nothing is known of the many except that he is an Italian.

Mr. Getson: I had a choice to eat chips in the back lounge or listen to the speech in here, and I definitely took the choice to come in here and listen to this fulsome debate. I’ve heard some very compelling arguments, and I’m trying to figure it out. Like, they’re good arguments, but I’m pretty much one-eighty from where the positions are coming. There’s an old saying that says that for you to catch a thief, you have to, you know, think like a thief. I can’t get the socialist mantra. I’ve tried to listen to it here, and I can’t get it.

Day 14 – Eastman to Magog – 35 km

Trail: uphill and downhill with steep inclines and declines; 8 km paved, 27 km unpaved; A

Last night I stayed at La Maison Jaune de Eastman on Lac d’Argent. It was a clean and comfortable room in a home with private entrance and bathroom. The setting was beautiful and the hosts provided kayaks and bikes. Highly recommended.

A nod to Eastman's literary heritage.

I sat in a café for over an hour hoping that the rain would let up. It didn’t. After checking the weather I saw that it would rain all day and the temperature would also fall. I thought of my friend Pep from Spain who would say “I am a pilgrim, the rain won’t hurt me”, and off I went.

Trail conditions were very good, with the addition of a 2 streams created from the heavy constant rain, 1 on each side of the trail. Periodically the streams were punctuated with ponds or rivers crossing over the complete trail.

Danger signs should have been at the base of each incline because if anything was going to kill me it was the steep ascents. The decline signs should have read “Wheeeee”.

I traveled through hilly forests with lakes sprinkled along the way. I saw a people walking and a couple joggers, but no other bikers. Most people seemed to know enough to stay inside, out of the rain.

Google was optimistic in it’s description of the trail, “mostly flat”. Google’s disclaimer “Use caution – bicycling directions may not always reflect real-world conditions” applied. The first third of the ride was up and down, up and down, but mostly up. The last 2/3 of the trail continued to be up and down but generally descending, which was more enjoyable. The last 2 days were physically challenging and, for the record, I never walked my bike up any hill.

Magog is at 200 m elevation and Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré is almost sea level. It should be an easy downhill from here on.

I was hoping for some amazing views today (the summit was 365 m / 1200 ft elevation but the rain and fog made it difficult to see much.

It was a shame that I had to use my brakes so frequently on the declines. They were often steep, muddy, and with sharp corners. It just felt so wasteful. I wanted to go downhill fast, but there was a real risk of getting a really big ouchy.

If I hadn't been relaxing and enjoying a fast downhill ride on pavement, I would have seen a shortcut to the right, less than a kilometre outside of the park. The shortcut would have cut out the Orford loop, saving about 3.5 km.

I arrived in Magog soggy and hungry. I had lunch. The rain didn’t let up so I didn’t get to see much of this pretty town on Lac Memphremagog.

I got a flat tire 3 blocks from my B&B. An easy walk in the rain. It’s my lucky day.

“I Am YEG Arts” Series: Frances Whitford

It’s been said that grandparents are the voices of the past and the door to the future. For Frances Whitford, there are few truer sentiments. It’s why she describes her business, Beadwork & Bannock, as a creation of love and legacy to her grandparents and Métis culture. Lucky for us, that gratitude and knowledge are both gifts she’s eager to share with everyone. From passing down traditions to her children to championing the Indigenous Artists Market Collective (I.A.M), Frances looks forward to continuing to promote and support the perseverance of Indigenous art and culture in our city. Artist, advocate, granddaughter, and teacher—this week’s “I Am YEG Arts” story belongs to Frances Whitford.

Tell us about your connection to Edmonton and why you’ve made it your home.

I have a lot of family here. I’m from northeastern Alberta, just outside of Fort McMurray, so Edmonton was the closest major city and our go-to for everything—so we’ve always been connected to it. Even as a kid, we’d go to Lac Ste. Anne every summer, and then to K-Days because my grandmother had sisters and family here. From there we’d go around to Lac La Biche to the powwow before heading back home. So ever since I was a small child, I’ve spent a few weeks of every single summer here.

As an adult, what really drew me to Edmonton were the opportunities for my three children to grow. Being in a small community is great—the support you have is good, everyone knows your name, and your history, and all of those types of things—but sometimes that can put a real damper on personal growth when it comes to just wanting to spread your wings and be yourself. So all the genres of opportunities presented to them here were very alluring to all of us.

I also found the Indigenous Artists Market Collective (I.A.M) here, and that was amazing. I always say that when I found them, I found my tribe. As Lorrie Lawrence always says, it’s like a melting pot of Indigenous artists.

Tell us a bit about Beadwork & Bannock and how it came to be.

I grew up raised largely by my grandparents. They were very old-school, very Métis lifestyle, so I spent a lot of my youth on our family trapline, which my brother still runs with my cousin Jason. Despite being so immersed in my culture throughout my life, I didn’t realize then how blessed I was—not until 2011 when my grandmother passed away. She had developed Alzheimer’s around 2006, so it really felt like we lost her a lot sooner, but during that time was when I really began to realize that, wow, once she goes, all of this is gone.

My grandmother was an artisan herself and used what she earned to help supplement the family income. I loved watching her work, and a lot of time I’d get to play around sorting beads… but watching her create all these amazing things and seeing every part of the process—from trap to this beautiful pair of moccasins—was pretty cool. So when she passed away, I made my decision to allow myself to dream about making a living preserving my culture and being able to share it with others and teach my kids. Beadwork & Bannock was the answer. And there’s just so much good that has come from it. It is literally a legacy of love for my culture, my grandparents, and everything they’ve instilled in me. There were quite a few years of dreaming it up in my mind and wanting to be where I am now, but just knowing that this knowledge is for me to pass on to as many people as I can reach makes me very happy.

What inspires your design choices and the stories that your beading and clothing tell?

Again, it goes right back to my grandparents and realizing how much culture they preserved in me that I didn’t realize I carried until I was older. A lot of my beadwork designs are inspired by the work of my grandmother and from learning and exploring our Métis culture. As I did my genealogy, I realized just how far-reaching my Métis ancestry is when it comes to Canada and the United States. Because we were the landless people, we travelled so often that there are bits and pieces of my grandfathers’ and great grandfathers’ and great-great grandfathers’ families from Montana all the way through Saskatchewan and Manitoba. It’s pretty amazing to see that. So often I’ll look at all this beadwork from all over these places and feel such a connection to it. And at first, I don’t understand why until I realize it’s that ancestry that draws me in.

What’s one piece of advice you wish you’d had when starting out? And what’s something you knew instinctively that’s still serving you?

The advice I wish I’d had starting out is don’t limit yourself—don’t limit yourself to what you can and cannot do. When I first started, I felt very much that I was in this box and had to stick to mitts and moccasins and the traditional things my grandmother made. But as I’m evolving as an artist, I like to bring in contemporary elements and incorporate new-age thinking with the old—like repurposing fur coats. It’s conservation in itself. And a lot of what we do as trappers is conservation work. Some people have the misconception that we’re out there hauling out these furs and mass-producing and selling them. But, no. We’re actually doing a lot of environmental monitoring. So, for example, if there’s a species that’s low, we’re not going to harvest it. We’re going to refrain. Or if we’ve noticed a species is diseased, we’re submitting that all to the government to be tested to make sure that it’s not something invasive to these species.

The something I just knew from the get-go would probably have to be the importance of transferring knowledge. That was just the biggest driver for me after losing my grandmother and realizing that a lot of her knowledge was gone. Though I only have bits and pieces of it, I’m learning and growing on it every day, remembering more as I carry on. I also realized how important it is for us through truth and reconciliation to share that knowledge back and to give it to our future generations so that they can continue to grow on it and ground themselves with it—because that’s what it did for me.

I strongly believe that the knowledge and traditional practices I was given were meant for me to transfer, not to hold. Letting everyone know there is space for all of us to share and learn these things is something I’m very happy to do.

Tell us about someone who mentored you or helped set you on your path.

That would be my brother. I can really say that my brother has always been one of my biggest supporters and champions. When my grandmother passed away, the two of us sat down and had a conversation about my kids really needing to go to the trapline with him. They were all very small then, but I knew they needed to go with him alone because at that age Mom is everything—Mom, do this. Mom, do that. The trapline is a very wonderful and magical place, but it can also be very dangerous, so I knew they needed to build their relationship with him and the respect he required for them to safely enjoy trapline living—and to learn to grow their wings and be independent. So when my son was around 6 and my other daughter was 10 or 11, they went for their first weekend on the trapline with my brother. And that all started it. That’s when we both realized that if we didn’t transfer that knowledge, it’d be gone. From there, we started to talk about all the things that Grandma would make and decided to give it a try. The rest is history!

Who’s someone inspiring you right now?

Right now, I would probably say the artists with I.A.M. They have so many stories and inspire me so much with their resilience. There’s such an incredible amount of knowledge coming off each of these artists that stems from their families and their histories. And it’s just so inspiring to me to see our art coming back and being appreciated for what it is. The dedication each and every one of them shows to their craft is incredible. We even have one artist, Agnus Jones, who I believe is 89 years old. She does a lot of the similar work that I do, and the last time I saw her at the market I told her that, in my eyes, I am just an apprentice, she is a master, and that—one day—I hope to be as good as her.

Last year, you and your son designed a T-shirt for Orange Shirt Day. What was that experience like for you?

Normally, T-shirts are right out of my element, but I just felt called to tell this story (of our family’s journey of truth and reconciliation)—and to include my children. Part of our coming to knowledge of our past with residential school really shed light on understanding that we have our own story to tell. Knowing that the world is seeing the truth now, we needed to stand in our own truth. So I just really wanted my children to understand their history, as much as I can teach it, and as much as I can learn it myself to pass it on to them so they can understand why we are the way we are these days and which direction we need to move in. I needed a positive outlet to empower them to know that healing is possible, and necessary, and important for them to think about. That’s the real legacy I’d like to leave—that we need to move forward in a positive light, and that sometimes extracting a positive from a negative situation is the best way to grow and heal. That’s what I hope my T-shirts will do.

Tell us a bit about what you’re currently working on or hoping to explore next.

What I’m working on right now is focusing more on my beadwork detail. I just want to grow a little bit more, and explore a little bit more, and venture out into making new things, like satchel-style purses.

I’ve been exploring new mediums and playing around with caribou tufting, too. And it’s like, as soon as I understand my connection to these animals and these things, all of a sudden the creative comes in and I want to work with parts of them!

The kids and I are also working on more Every Child Matters T-shirts and collaborating on some other designs.

What do you want people to understand about the importance of buying Indigenous products from Indigenous artists?

It truly is a preservation of culture and of legacy. Our Indigenous art tells the story of our history, of our connectedness to other cultures and other places, and reminds us of the unity that we need to continue to share. I think it’s good to walk in your individual light and be proud of who you are and where you come from, but it’s also good to be proud of other cultures too—to raise them up and know that you stand in unity with them. So that’s what I’d like people to know: that when they purchase Indigenous art, they’re not only supporting an artist, they’re actually preserving a culture. And that’s an amazing thing.

Describe your perfect day in Edmonton. How do you spend it?

My perfect day in Edmonton would probably be spent exploring one of the many festivals or attractions that you literally find every weekend and everywhere you turn. Spending it with my kids, of course, because I love that.

You visit Edmonton 20 years from now. What do you hope has changed? What do you hope has stayed the same?

Well, I do hope that all the festivals and everything have stayed, but what I really hope to see is more reflection of the Indigenous presence that is here in the architecture and everywhere you turn. It’s starting to look like that now, but I’d really like it to be strongly visible. For example, the history behind the river lot that was here really needs to come to the surface—and in a good way. Because even though it’s a dark history, it’s a very positive place, and I love being there.

About Frances Whitford

Frances Whitford is originally from Anzac, Alberta, but now calls Edmonton home. She was raised by her grandparents and grew up surrounded by Métis culture and craft, spending much time on the family trapline. Frances learned most of her craft from her grandmother, a Métis artisan, who made various pieces for the family and to sell in an effort to supplement the family’s income. Her grandfather was a trapper who would supply the furs and hides needed for her grandmother’s craft. Today, Frances’s brother has stepped into the role of trapper and supplies a large amount of the hides and furs that allow Frances to continue to learn and hone her skills.

Frances’s pieces, such as moccasins, mukluks, gauntlet mitts, and other Métis-oriented items, are made mainly of traditional and commercial-tanned moose hides, as well as beaver, fox, lynx, rabbit, and various other types of furs. Some of her Beadwork & Bannock pieces also include her beadwork.

As Treasurer of the Indigenous Artists Market Collective (I.A.M), Frances looks forward to continuing to promote, support, and participate in the advocacy and perseverance of Indigenous art and culture that she sees thriving in this city.

Lac Ste. Anne municipal workers get 7.5% raise

Last month, the Mediation Services department of Alberta Jobs, Economy, and Trade published their April 2024 Bargaining Update, which includes details on recently settled collective agreements. One of the agreements was between Local 1928 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the County of Lac Ste. Anne. Local 1928 of CUPE represents about 30 workers employed by the county, including…

SO part of work this weekend involves getting ready to prepare some entries for historic places days which is happening July 8-23 across canada. This is an opportunity for people to showcase places that are not necessarily registered (i.e. approved by a level of settler government) in order to highlight stories that don’t usually make it into the narrative

hence: we are responsible for promoting sites that are significant to the 2SLGBTQ+ community, a small handful of which are operated by the community and for that purpose. however, obviously, queer spaces are kind of nebulous because for a significant portion of queer history a lot was literally illegal and some of our sites include previous cruising sites lol. so sure, yes, bellamy hill for example is TECHNICALLY family friendly but it’s not necessarily a place you would take your small children on an educational historical tour to, at least not for that purpose!

and it really is tickling the museum studies braincells because on the one hand, a lot of the ones currently listed are museums because they are already designated/registered sites so they have these ready packaged “come check out SITE and be part of EXPERIENCE” labels to entice people to click on them; the other two national historic sites that are not ‘owned’ or ‘managed’ (i.e. Lac Ste. Anne) instead have headings and paragraphs of history, which is a little more our style since we don’t own or occupy most of the sites.

worst of all it is also tickling the business class braincells i’ve unfortunately started developing, cringe :’ ( starting to imagine stereotypical marketing demographics and i hate it.

but it really is a question of audience. who even knows about historic places days? how do we talk to (presumably) the side of the audience that is from the national trust / canadian history academics who would obviously know about this event already, and how do we talk to the community we are collecting the history of as well? it’s something I’m really chewing over today.

WHY WE LOVE THE WEST ISLAND

The island of Montreal is vast but nothing compares to the gorgeous West Island area. Families like to call this place home thanks to its excellent location and amenities.

The area contains both French and English speakers and has many fantastic schools, parks, shopping malls, and restaurants. Let’s explore further why we believe you and your family would certainly thrive in this beautiful community.

With roughly 236,000 residents, the West Island accounts for about over 12% of Montreal’s total population and makes up a third of its land mass.

The territory’s administrative structure is fairly complex seeing as it consists of several of the local governments to the north and south of Highway 40.

Roxboro, Pierrefonds, Sainte-Geneviève, and L’Île-Bizard are four cities in the north that have been transformed into municipalities of the City of Montreal, together with the newly reconstructed city Dollard-Des-Ormeaux. Beaconsfield, Baie-D’Urfé, Dorval, Kirkland, Senneville, Pointe-Claire, and Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue are the seven municipalities in the southern part of the West Island.

CULTURE

The West Island offers the best of both worlds: stunning natural beauty and a vibrant urban environment. The area is wonderful for those searching for a home that mixes culture, history, and nature.

The region, which consists of three boroughs and 12 municipalities, features four natural parks, plenty of forested paths, trendy neighborhoods, and several residential developments which are still continuously evolving.

COMMUNITY

The West Island offers a great sense of community. Enjoy the stunning views of the lakeshore.

Nature and gardens are abundant in the area for you to take full advantage of the outdoors. Take part in vibrant arts and cultural events in your community, getting to know your neighbors and the local shop keeps by name.

These are the characteristics that distinguish any neighborhood as more than just a place to live. It is a place to create a beautiful life with your family.

You might enjoy spending time in these areas nearby. In the summer, festivities fill the parks, and tourists stroll through the local streets holding ice cream cones and Beaver Tails!

BEAUTIFUL HOMES

Enjoy a trip down Senneville Road to bask in the magnificent views of Lac des Deux Montagnes peppered with exquisite homes. Marvel at the imposing maples and historical treasures along Tunstall Avenue. West Island luxury real estate is now hotter than ever and there are tons of different homes for sale all around Montreal.

West Islands’ more kid-friendly neighborhoods are close to Lakeshore Road, which links the walking villages of Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, the beautiful and classy neighborhood of Beaconsfield.

Another hidden gem along this road is Baie-d’Urfé, which has lovely waterfront public parks and is in proximity to both Beaconsfield and Ste-Anne.

SAINTE-ANNE-DE-BELLEVUE-BOARDWALK

The Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Boardwalk, which stretches between the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Canal and Sainte-Anne Street, is home to a huge selection of restaurants, Cafes, shops, and activities.

While observing the boats, picnicking, and watching the locks, visitors can also take pleasure in the riverbank scenery. The region provides a variety of concerts, exhibitions and family events during the summer.

THE ECOMUSEUM ZOO

The Ecomuseum Zoo, just 25 minutes from the city center, gives visitors of all ages the chance to learn about Quebec’s animals, including black bears, caribou, and the Canadian lynx.

Animals who are injured or orphaned and unable to be reintegrated into the wild, are permanently kept and cared for in the Ecomuseum Zoo.

A PLACE WITH THRIVING INDUSTRIES

Some of Quebec’s most notable businesses in the sciences, health technology, and aerospace industries, including heavyweights like Bombardier, have their corporate offices here on West Island.

The 245-hectare Macdonald campus of McGill University is situated in the charming town of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue and is the ideal setting for students to find creativity and inspiration!

HERITAGE BIKE TRAIL

Discovering the architectural, historical, and environmental heritage of the West Island is made possible by this remarkable 70-kilometer cycling path.

Bike riders may stop along the route to read the heritage plaques, which provide information on more than a hundred historical heritage structures in the area. Biking enthusiasts will also enjoy the peace and quiet of the natural parks and the expansive landscapes of Lac Saint-Louis and Lac des Deux Montagnes.

The route departs at Lachine’s Pôle des Rapides cycling path and goes all the way to Millennium Park in Dorval.

LIVE IN THE WEST ISLAND

As you can see, the West Island is one of the best areas to live in Montreal, especially if you’re raising a family with small children and require peace, calm and absolute safety.

Contact a professional real estate broker today who’s intimately familiar with the real estate market in the West Island today! You will not regret this.

The Feast of All Saints (2001). Tells the coming of age story of the "quadroon" (1/4 black 3/4 white) Ste. Marie children, Marcel and Marie in pre-Civil War New Orleans, as their dreams of a privileged life supposedly guaranteed by their white ancestry are crushed by the limited possibilities given to those of African descent. Based on a 1979 novel by Anne Rice of the same name (her second published novel).

Explores the history of the gens de couleur libre (free people of color) from several perspectives - free and enslaved mixed descendants of white slaveholders; black Haitian refugees; mixed women engaged in various forms of sex work (including placage - where white men would keep black women as concubines in New Orleans while they kept their legally married white women on the plantation); free black slaveholders; queer black men; white-passing black people; and white slaveholders.

Main cast includes Robert Ri'chard, Nicole Lyn, Bianca Lawson, and Rachel Lutrell. Supporting cast includes legendary black actors: James Earl Jones, Forest Whitaker, Ossie Davis, Jasmine Guy, Ruby Dee, Pam Grier, Eartha Kitt, and Jennifer Beals.

Highly recommend you watch this, especially if you are interested in Louis and his family's characters from AMC's Interview with the Vampire.

TW: This film does not shy away from discussing the sexual exploitation of black women during this time. There is a graphic rape scene in part 2 (the age-restricted video) from about 1:09:45 to 1:12:00.

Mr. Getson: Folks are tired of being taxed to death by the government and having that money used against them on the federal side. They’re dog-tired of it, Mr. Speaker. Respect. Albertans are done with being made the whipping boy for having our own unique culture and being targeted for solving problems. Albertans are tired of being vilified since we contribute so much to this country and what we do to protect our environment.
