Digging deep at Calgary Site

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

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.
