Factory Act of 1917 and a Minimum Wage In 1917, Alberta passed a Factory Act which set the first minimum wage in Canada. Under the act – officially called An Act for the Protection of Persons Employed in Factories, Shops and Office Buildings – the minimum wage was to be $1.50 per shift for all employees covered by the Act; apprentices were to receive a minimum of $1.00 per shift.

In incorporating the principle in the act the government said that every industry should stand on its own feet and that any industry that had to exist because of child labor, that employed people at a less than a fair wage, should not exist in this country, at least, and should not be permitted to carry on business.”

This Act also would have affected a The Lethbridge Herald (4 August 1917) number of Lethbridge businesses and noted: “In Alberta, at the present time, residents including the following: especially in the cities of Calgary and Edmonton, there were large department Sash & Door Factory stores and several large factories where Ellison Milling & Elevator Co., Ltd. young girls were working at wages from Marinaro Macaroni Co. $3.00 to $9.00 per week.

Strategies to reduce Compassion Fatigue & Burnout: Participants will learn:   

Beyond kale & pedicures

Key Factors that increase risks of compassion fatigue, burnout and secondary trauma Early intervention strategies Workplace strategies: what works?

There is now over two decades of research proving that working in high stress, trauma-exposed professions such as community mental health, law enforcement and health care carries elements of risk to the care provider and can take a cumulative tolls on us as individuals and as teams. This interactive, evidence-based and trauma-informed presentation is suitable for novice and experienced participants alike. Using the most recent research in the field, it will explore assumptions about compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma, the organizational and personal barriers that professionals face in their daily lives, and offers new and creative approaches to transforming these occupational hazards.

Canada Goose Did you know?   

 

Photo by Lloyd Bennett

The V-formation of flight that fills the sky is characteristic of Canada Geese. Common to Southern Alberta year-round, look for the black head and neck with white chinstrap as key identifying feature of these water-birds.

There are at least 11 sub-species of Canada Geese! With close observation you may notice the Geese are smaller the further North they are found, and darker the further West they are found.

Did You Know?

The oldest known wild Canada Goose was a female, and at least 33 years, 3 months old when she was shot in Ontario in 2001—she had been banded in Ohio in 1969.

Creating Positive Experiences and Keeping it FUN! Have you heard the expression "find the JOY in the JOURNEY?" Have you ever thought about how it relates to physical activity? We've all heard regular physical activity promotes a long, healthy life with a lowered risk of chronic disease – but this doesn’t mean you necessarily have to head to the gym and run on the treadmill or use weight machines to achieve these benefits.

Staying active can look very different to different people. The key is to find activities you enjoy, as you are more likely to continue participating in something you find fun. For children, positive experiences with physical activity will encourage them to continue engaging in physical activity later on in life. Negative experiences can deter them from engaging in an active lifestyle. Negative experiences can come in the form of negative comments from a coach or peer, feeling unsafe in their surroundings, or simply being under-dressed for outdoor winter play.

As adults, we play a big role in helping shape our children’s physical activity experiences. Whether you are a volunteer coach, a teacher, a parent, a grandparent or a caregiver, remember to keep the emphasis on having fun and know that positive, encouraging words can go a long way towards building a child's self-esteem. Positive physical activity experiences build confidence and self-esteem in both children and adults, and having fun is important at any age!

Third Session Grand Entry @ 1:00 pm, Sunday

It’s Pow-Wow Time 2017 International Peace Pow-wow & Festival The GRAND ENTRY begins every session. It is lead by the flag bearers and dignitaries. The dancers follow according to their categories. This is the most spectacular sight with 300 participants in full regalia, dancing into the arena single file. Then we get into the competitions based on gender, age groups and DANCE STYLES: Junior Girls’, Teen Girls’ and Ladies’ Traditional - Like all dance styles, these have strong roots in customs and traditions. This is a stately dance, slowmoving bouncing step, rhythmic dipping with swaying in time to the beat of the drum. Dresses of buckskin, wool or other material are heavily decorated with beading, quillwork, elk teeth, bone, antler or shells.

Junior Boys’, Teen Boys’ and Men’s Traditional has evolved from the well-known “old time Sioux” style of the 1940’s. It is slower with the dancer is said to be re-enacting the movement of a warrior searching for the enemy. Eagle feather bustles; grouse feathers, deer, elk and porcupine headdresses are all part of this wonderful dance.

Junior Girls’, Teen Girls’ and Ladies’ Jingle dress dance is said to be a healing dance originating with the Ojibwa. When a man’s granddaughter became very ill, he had a dream that showed him how to make the dress and was instructed to have her dance in it.

When the dress was made, she wore it and danced, very weakly at first, but becoming stronger as she went on until she was healed. The jingle dress makes a very distinct sound. Medium tempo.

Jr. Boys’, Teens’ and Men’s Grass - Many believe that the Omaha tribe originated the dance in their warrior societies from the movements of the early scouts preparing a camp site. The scouts would dance in a special way to flatten high grasses. The motion of the dance flows like the rippling prairie grass. Medium tempo.

Junior Girls’, Teen Girls’ and Ladies’ Fancy is a faster, more expressive and energetic style. The dance is light, graceful, and very athletic. The dancer moves much like a butterfly, and her outfit is bright and colorful. Particular emphasis is given to the shawl, which is worn over the shoulders and spread out along the arms like wings.

Junior Boys’, Teen Boys’ and Men’s Fancy is the most intricate dance with jumps and twirls at the fastest tempo. The regalia is said to represent the rainbow spirits in its bright colors and flying feathers and ribbons. The Men’s Fancy dancer typically wears two bustles of bright colored feathers.

Junior Boys’, Teen Boys’ and Men’s Chicken is the Blackfoot dance that has made its way into the Pow-wow circle. Each man wears a porcupine hair roach on his head and a feather bustle. The dancers step quickly, crouch and rise imitating the dance of the prairie chicken.
