Digging deep at Calgary Site

Page

Native participation has added a whole new dimension to archeological work on a site soon to become a housing development in Calgary's west end.

The archeological work, now entering its third year, has uncovered an usual stone circle and evidence of a different climate in the Calgary area thousands of years ago.

But equally interesting is how Native involvement has influenced the archeological dig, said Gerry Oetelaar, assistant professor of archeology at the University of Calgary.

Blood tribe starts from scratch with old school

Page

The Blood Reserve's newest housing complex is almost 75 years old. The St. Paul Anglican Church Residential School, derelict and empty for more than a decade, has been given a new lease on life, as a student residence for Red C row Community College.

Built in 1924, the school was in extremely bad condition. The roof leaked in more places than it didn't. Floors were warped and weakened, stairways dangerous. Pigeons had come through the numerous broken windows, fouling almost every corner of the building.

Sports is a family affair for Houles

To many people her is just another hockey player. But to his parents and friends, he's not just a flash in the pan; he shows signs of promise as a good pro prospect in hockey.

Chris Houle, a strapping six-foot, 14 year-old Metis from the Buffalo Lake Metis Settlement just northeast of Edmonton, is the pride and joy of Bernie and Mae who do all in their power to support their Children's initiatives. Though Bernie himself is not a hockey player, he's one fine ball player and knows the value and meaning of sports for youth.
