"MAN MURDERED BY INDIANS WAS A FINE SPECIMEN," Toronto Star. June 5, 1912. Page 6. --- Constable Davies of the R.N.W.M.P. a Splendid Example of Young Englishman. ---- SHOT DOWN ON TRAIL --- Went to Arrest Indians and Was Killed - Three Men Arrested. --- Special to The Star. Ottawa, June 5. - The story of the murder of Constable Frank W. Davies near Southesk, Alta., by three Indians whom he tried to arrest; is another illustration of how well young Englishmen can serve the Empire even when engaged on such an ordinary vocation as that of a constable, of the mounted police.

He came out from London, England, some five years ago and started farming at or near Wadena, Sask., but evidently soon tired of that task, because in April, 1909, he applied for admission into the Mounted Police and was sworn in on the 9th of that month. Then he gave his age as 25, and stated that his next of kin was his father, Walter Davies, of 25 Roma road, Hampstead, London. There is not a mark against his record, and he is reported by the controller as having been a most efficient member of the force.

Davies was one of those young Britishers who play the game like men. They know their duty and do it even if death be the reward.

Prior to starting out on what has proved to be his last case he had been around the town joking and talking to the boys with whom he was a universal favorite. Just at dusk a terrified Indian hurried into the town. He located the constable, and, in broken language, told him that two Indians and a "breed" had shot several times at him, at the same time pointing to bullet holes in his hat, coat sleeve, and in a bundle of blankets he carried. The officer immediately started after them and that was the last seen of him alive.

His murderers took his gun, cartridge belt, and horse, and continued on their way south-east.

Mounted Police Corporal Johnston, of Bassano, alone arrested the three men, who are now being held for the murder.

I DO wonna hear the story but also I want to punt the newbie into the sun. man I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. Hopfully the paperwork for it all isn't too much of a headache

So basically I was at the position where you tell people what to take out of their bags up front because the lines got backed up with missed non-permitted items so they booted the newbies off of it and wanted more experienced officers up there who could juggle 4 passengers at once and wouldn't get overwhelmed in the chaos. She was at the position that scans boarding passes before telling them what station to go to. I had never seen her before and she didn't have her uniform yet so she must have been hired when I was on vacation.

When the rush was over and we had a few minutes to lean back and breathe I asked her when she was hired and how she's liking the job, basic friendly stuff. We get talking about travel and I bring up my recent trip to NYC, and we joke a lot about Americans at work. It's like a hobby of ours. So I jokingly go "yeah I loved visiting but I'd never move to the states hahaha"

She goes "why not :0!"

And im very open about things and jokey about it so I quip "im trans they'd just shoot me on sight by law now haha" in a gallows humor kinda way.

She squints at me and immediately just hits me over the head with "if you used to be a girl then you arent discriminated against because you have passing privilege. It would be your own fault if you did because you went flaunting it around like that." And to add insult to injury, then made sure I knew that if she was american she would vote for trump and how she thinks immigrants in Ontario are "entitled, not like the ones who actually work for a living in alberta"

Um... EXCUSE ME???

When I was telling my work friend who is a butch lesbian about this because it fucking gobsmacked me into silence she said that when I was gone the same newbie stared at her and asked "are you straight or not?" In this accusatory tone

And same friend just texted me as I was writing this and told me that that newbie referred to our trans woman coworker who is still on the waitlist for an HRT prescription as an "it" once.

You may have already made a post about this so sorry if so, but what are your headcanons regarding how Matt and Katya met? And how they kept touch over the years?

Love your content btw!!

Thank you! And actually, somehow, no one has asked me that on any of the blogs! I had to think and coalesce some thoughts. This got long so I am going to split it into two parts but their meeting!

The Trans-Canada railway was completed in the 1880s and finally opened up what was called the ‘last best west.’ Between the Canadian Rockies in the far west and the western edge of the woodlands that define eastern Canada in Manitoba, the prairies stretch out in what looks to a child of the eastern woodlands like a vast treeless void. Grasslands and steppes are incredibly ecologically important, but I am ethnically a clinker-built canoe lover, and they scare the shit out of me. Judging by settlement patterns, most French Canadians agreed. As the American West closed, some Americans were willing to join Canadians and take land ripped from indigenous peoples too. Alberta was a result. Concerned about American settlement, in 1896, the Dominion of Canada’s federal government coordinated with the foreign office of the British Empire to look for more settlers. At the same time, in what was then the Austro-Hungarian empire, Galicia was likely the poorest place in continental Europe, with the only other comparable example being famine-era Ireland. The other Ukrainian-speaking areas of the Austro-Hungarian empire (75-80 of that territory was held by the Russian Empire) weren’t much better off. Each government found a solution in the other. Britain, representing Anglo-dominated Canada, and the Austrians shook hands, and the flow began. The US saw the largest share of Eastern European immigration in this period, but the majority who sailed to Canada were Ukrainians. And even before immigration, the region's international ties were based on Canadian financial interests. So, what does this mean for Katya and Matt?

The scene I imagine is that while the powerful wheel and deal, two products of empire crossed paths. One of these meetings may have taken place during a summer folk festival. Girls wove wreaths of flowers into their hair and floated others down the river. Songs were sung, vodka and wine flowed, and dancers joined hands. While the Austrians and the British bargained, a young man not so far removed from his peasant roots and his own saint’s day celebrated with fire and river wandered into the edge of a valley clearing at the end of the longest day of the northern year. As a maple or spruce was decorated, the sun sank, and the last light of day fell like fire light onto a Carpathian river valley. Bonfires were lit. Against a world on fire, a child of the woodlands looked upon the silhouette of his future, crowned with birchwood silver woven into her braids. Katya sensed him, a being like herself from across the world and turned. She looked at him a long moment, with eyes belonging to a world since passed set in the face that would one day be the image that sprang into Matthew’s mind when he needed to summon a memory of home that would not cleave him in two. She bid him to approach and, with one gesture, changed their fates.

Later, he would find out she spoke the court French of his earliest years, but this night, there is only Katya’s outstretched hand and burning blue eyes reflecting fire and Matt’s fingers lacing into hers to spin in the dance of all the other young men and women. There is no discussion of soil and wheat, nor opportunity and affection. There is only alcohol, laughter, music, fire and spinning, his mouth full of her language, unknown but already familiar. There is only a lightening of her eyes as she enjoys herself, her head flung back in laughter as he chokes on pear horilka stronger and sweeter than any whiskey he’s ever made. Her wreath topples out of her hair, and she bursts into laughter as he snatches it up and runs, calling over his shoulder, and she hikes up her skirts and follows, hand outstretched, only to grasp onto him and run, stride long and confident as they leap together to make it over the bonfire.

Still, together, hands clasped, his right her and left and left touching the laurel wreath, the last symbol she indulges from her Varangian roots. Eye contact, a significance, a weight that will one day balance the heaviness of history. She will press his heart into the shape of hers with that weight. He will give it back in every way he can, the ballast of whatever love she’ll let him give. But for now, in the last light of day, there is only a young man and a young woman hand in hand, circling a fire under a night sky. Here, they are under a star-streaked Milky Way that gives way to a mead moon rising over the mountains. Someday, save them; that moon will be the only witness to this night when mortality leaves alive only a man, a woman, and their most human memory.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

October 16, 2023

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

This morning, the Justice Department announced that the United States has reached a settlement with the plaintiffs in the case of Ms. L. v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a class action lawsuit filed in 2018 over the Trump administration's policy of separating parents and children at the southwest border to deter migrants. That policy, implemented in 2017 and 2018, resulted in more than 5,500 children being separated from their parents.

In 2018 a judge ordered the families reunited, but it turned out the Trump administration had not kept records of the family members. As soon as he took office, President Joe Biden appointed a task force to accomplish the reunifications, but 85 children are still separated from their families. The task force also found that 290 of the children removed from their parents were U.S. citizens. 

The lawsuit charged that the policy broke a number of U.S. laws—seeking asylum is legal, and taking children away from their parents without cause is not—and the settlement seeks both to heal the victims of the policy and to make sure it never happens again. The affected families will have a different process for applying for asylum than other migrants and will have access to benefits such as work authorization, possible housing assistance, immigration lawyers, and mental health care to address the trauma of the separations, and the government will agree not to turn back to such a policy in the future. 

“The separation of families at our southern border was a betrayal of our nation’s values,” said Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta. “By providing services to these families and implementing policies to prevent future separations, today’s agreement addresses the impacts of those separations and helps ensure that nothing like this happens again.”

The judge will need to approve the settlement.

MAGA Republicans seem unconcerned with what the law says. Indeed, they have been working hard to discredit the law in order to protect former president Trump, attacking the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. After Trump has publicly attacked prosecutors and witnesses in the case over his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Judge Tanya Chutkan today prohibited him from such attacks on the court’s staff, witnesses, testimony, and prosecutors. 

Last week, Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) called for shutting down the government in November unless Democrats agree to cutting all spending for processing or releasing into the country any new migrants. He says the demand is “non-negotiable.” But U.S. and international law require the U.S. to process asylum requests, even if a migrant arrives in between legal points of entry. 

Former senior Department of Homeland Security lawyer Tom Jawetz told Greg Sargent of the Washington Post that Jordan’s plan “would be both illegal and a practical impossibility.” Administration officials “are legally obligated to process people for asylum on request,” he said. “It’s not a choice.”

But therein lies the heart of today’s Republican Party: its extremist leaders no longer believe that rules apply to them. Jordan, a staunch ally of Trump, was key to the former president’s efforts to steal the 2020 presidential election. He is now gathering votes for a bid to become the speaker of the House of Representatives after the MAGA extremists threw former House speaker Kevin McCarthy out. 

In 2017, former Republican House speaker John Boehner told journalist Tim Alberta: “Jordan was a terrorist as a legislator going back to his days in the Ohio House and Senate…. A terrorist. A legislative terrorist.” In 2021, he clarified: “I just never saw a guy who spent more time tearing things apart—never building anything, never putting anything together.” 

After a secret ballot showed that 55 of his colleagues would not support him in a floor vote, Jordan has insisted on a public vote, putting his colleagues under pressure to support him and thus to support Trump. They are caving, one at a time. 

But Representative Don Bacon (R-NE) called out the MAGA group that revolted repeatedly against the Republican conference and now is demanding Republican unity for the unpopular Jordan, forcing the party to fully embrace Trump. “I can’t abide by the fact a small group violated the rules to get what they wanted [and] now I’m supposed to play by the rules,” Bacon said. “I think we’ve got to have consequences, and you’ve got to stand up for this. That’s what Americans do.”

We used to be able to assume that Americans did, in fact, play by the rules, accepting the principle of the rule of law. That principle is now openly challenged here in the U.S.

That principle is also at stake around the world. In a piece in The Atlantic on October 9, foreign policy journalist Anne Applebaum noted the fragility of the rules-based international order, a system of norms and values established after World War II in an attempt to create a system for resolving international disputes, preventing territorial wars, and ending no-holds-barred slaughter. 

A series of agreements, including the United Nations Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the U.N. Genocide Convention, and the Geneva Conventions on the laws of war established those rules, and while they have often been flouted, they offered grounds for challenging those nations and military personnel who broke them. 

Applebaum pointed out that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the attack by Hamas on Israeli civilians “are both blatant rejections of that rules-based world order, and they herald something new. Both aggressors have deployed a sophisticated, militarized, modern form of terrorism, and they do not feel apologetic or embarrassed about this at all.” They feel justified in ignoring the rules-based international order and sowing terror and chaos among civilians. 

Their “goal is to undo whatever remains of the rules-based world order, and to put anarchy in its place. They did not hide their war crimes. Instead, they filmed them and circulated the videos online.” Applebaum suggests “we might miss the Geneva Conventions when they are gone.” 

Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have made no secret of their determination to strengthen the rules-based international order, and tonight the White House announced that Biden will travel on Wednesday to the Middle East, where he will visit Israel before traveling to Jordan, where he will meet with the country’s leader King Abdullah II, Egyptian president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas. 

We might miss the idea of the rule of law here at home if we continue to empower MAGA Republicans. Voters in Poland missed it, and yesterday 73% of them turned out to oust from power the nationalist-conservative party that, Anne Applebaum notes in a different Atlantic article, “turned state television into a propaganda tube, used state companies to fund its political campaigns,… politicized state administration[,]… altered electoral laws and even leaked top-secret military documents, manipulating their contents for electoral gain.” 

Opponents of the ruling party, which took power in 2015, came together in a coalition that rejected angry nationalism in favor of civic patriotism, met in demonstrations around the country, featured women prominently in their campaigns, promised to end Poland’s strong abortion restrictions, and offered closer cooperation with Europe. 

Rebuilding democracy will be neither fast nor easy, Applebaum notes, but “Poland shows that autocracy is not inevitable.”

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

[the-quotable-alberta-hansard]

November 25, 2024

Mr. Schmidt: Now, Mr. Speaker, the jobs minister keeps talking about not wanting to throw barriers in front of young earners. Well, it’s interesting. In 2019, in May of that year, when the UCP was elected to office, they implemented their so-called student minimum wage to increase youth employment. In May 2019 the youth unemployment rate was 11 per cent. In August 2024, the most recent date that’s available on the Alberta economic dashboard, the same youth unemployment rate is 14 per cent. Plus, we know that the population of Alberta’s 15- to 24-year-olds is much higher now than it was five years ago. So why is it, when the minister stands up and talks about his desire to make sure that more young people are employed, we actually have thousands and thousands of more young people unemployed than when they took office in May 2019?

The fact . . .

Mr. Nally: It’s because of immigration.

The Alpha's Beta - Chapter 17 - Part 2

BOOK ONE: The Alpha's Trilogy

*Warning Adult Content*

The Pack Holding Cells - Part 2

Beta Darren Phoenix

After my chat with Simon Claymore, I got up and went to the clearing, to warm up and trained with everybody.

We did a run, hand to hand combat, mind over body exercises, Ellis had shown the group a new fighting technique they would use in there human form, for if they didn't have time to change and then we went for our last run around Lake Marshall.   

"Good job man... but I gotta ask... where's Alpha Silas?" Ellis asked, coming up behind me and patting me on the back.

He left his hand on my neck for few seconds, before moving it back to his side.  

I just shrugged, not really knowing or caring where the Alpha was.

He could be out 'releasing his stress' by fucking someone else for all I cared.

Though I knew he wasn't because I would feel the bond being torn.   

It was almost funny, when he had sex with Lucca, I would feel the strain but it didn't feel like it was damaged.

It made sense now that I know he didn't know I was his mate.

So I could only imagine the pain I would feel, if he willingly slept with someone else.  

**********

I made my way to the I.T. room I had that gut feeling again, that one the churned my stomach, like a child's nerves at a Christmas concert.

I took a deep breath to try and rid the feelings and after a few minutes, it finally subsided and I made my way inside the room.

Everything was as it was left yesterday.

My desk chair was pulled out, Silas' chair was beside mine.

My computer was turned off and Quinton and Darcy looked as if they haven't moved an inch, as well.   

"Anything on Silas' cell-phone Quinton?" I asked, as I sat down in my chair and turned my computer on.   

"Nothing really. I tracked the number to a disposable phone that was activated in New York but it was activated two months ago. The text went through eighteen different systems but I can't seem to find what one the text first stemmed from. The closest signal from here was about three towns over. I told Simon about it this morning. He talked to Ellis and they're sending someone up there, now."   

"Why wasn't I told about this?" I asked, getting a little frustrated, at the fact no one bothered to say anything to me.   

"Silas came in at about three. I told him everything and then he talked to Ellis and then with Simon. I though Alpha would pass it on to you as well."   

I roll my eyes and started typing into my computer.

I was able to get most of the pack files onto it, so I wouldn't have to worry about losing papers.

I also have everything backed up on my computer in my office.

Plus on three USB's that I have in three different spots.

That was a tip from Simon.   

After half an hour of going through email's, the office door swung open and none-other then Silas, came in.

He doesn't even spare me a glance.

He just walks straight over to Darcy.   

"Anything on Lucca Miethke's family ties yet?" he asks crossing his arms over his chest.

The air around him in thick and would make any normal person run the other way from him.

Darcy nods her head and opens something on her computer.  

"So," she starts off.

"Lucca Miethke is a fourth generation American from Ohio state. His family is originally from Canada and Russia. His Mother, Polina was an immigrant from Russia but she had no living relatives. Her and his father Thomas had Lucca and Alistair. Lucca was the only survivor of a raid, besides an Omega named Snow. He was taken in by a pack up North."

"Thomas Miethke has step-sister, Emily. Who lives in Alberta with her mate and two kids but she's been low on the raider. She even lives in Calgary, which is weird since most werewolves prefer Jasper or Banff," Darcy went on to say Lucca had no known contact with his Aunt, they had hacked into his computer and saw no messages between the two.

"The only thing Lucca really did on his laptop was play Face-book games."   

I looked over to Silas.

He looked tired, his skin was pale and his hair was flat on his head, like it had no life to it.

His eyes skimmed over the words on Darcy's laptop, he just nodded his head along with what was being said.

His normally relaxed shoulders were tense and ridged.

He looked worse then he did yesterday.  

I rolled my eyes and looked back at the computer.

If he thought coming in here and making me feel guilty was going to work, he was wrong.

I wasn't some school-girl that couldn't handle the silent treatment.   

I looked around my desk and let out a groan.

"I left a file in my office. I'll be right back," and with that I left and went up to the office.

************

Opening my office door, I was greeted to my polished oak desk but it was what was behind the desk that made my fingers curl into a fist.   

Behind my desk sat a young boy, with medium length brown hair pulled back into a pony tail and olive skin, no more then twelve, he was digging through my desk drawer like he owned it.

He hadn't noticed me standing in the doorway and what got me was I couldn't get a scent off him.   

I cleared my throat and watched as he nearly touched the roof with his head.

His blue eyes stared widely at me.

I could see his nerves, shaking in his hands.

'Like a deer caught in the headlights.'

"Now, I'm going to ask you nicely. What are you doing?"   

The boy shook his head.

Then looked around franticly, looking for what I could only assume was a way out.

I took a step towards him as I took my cell-phone out of my pocket.

I texted Silas a quick '911' before putting it back in my pocket and looked at the boy.   

"Alright, lets try this again."

I stepped closer and he pressed himself to the wall behind him.

"How many people, are in this building, that shouldn't be right now?"   

The boy held up one shaky finger then pointed towards himself and that was the last thing he did before his eyes rolled back into his head and he slumped forwards, into my arms.

'Great.'   

I lifted up the boy so he was laying over both my arms.

Like a bride who had to many shots at her wedding and turned around, just in time to see Silas and Quinton run into the door way.

They both had wide eyes, Silas looked like he was ready to rip someone's limbs apart.  

"Who the hell is that?"   

"Oh you know just some kid I took in... fed... let break into my office and steal my stuff. You know, the regular stuff," I said with a shrug.

Apparently Silas doesn't know how to take sarcasm as he glares at me.

"I just found him going through my desk drawers. The kid just passed out on me. He can't be very old. I don't know who's crazy enough to send him in here alone, when we're all here..."

"I'll call Ellis have him set up a team to check the building and surrounding. Quinton go back and check the security cameras. I'll do a sweep of all the offices. Take him to the infirmary."

I huffed and pushed past the two in the door, bumping my should with the Alpha's on my way out.   

I let it slide that he didn't have someone else take the kid.

Like my senses we're as good as his.

'His panties were in a knot and I was being mature and letting him have his moment.'

Alberta Occupation in-Demand List 2020

Skilled workers applying for Canada immigration under the Alberta Opportunity Stream must ensure that their occupation is in-demand in Alberta.

How To Become A Legal Assistant?

Legal assistants are indispensable members of the legal office. Their communication and administrative responsibilities ensure that day-to-day operations run smoothly. 

Legal secretaries are in demand in Alberta, with 60 per cent of employers having recruited legal assistants in the last two years. While the average Canadian salary is $54,630, they earn anywhere from $47,000 to $87,000 per year. 

This article delves into what it means to be a legal assistant and the qualifications necessary to become one. 

What Is A Legal Assistant?

Legal assistants work in law offices, courts, real estate, insurance companies, corporations, land title offices, federal, provincial and municipal offices. The extent of their responsibilities, however, may vary based on the type of company they work for, according to Zaki Ahmad, Calgary lawyer and former legal assistant.

“In civil litigation you have the commencing document, which is a statement of claim typically, and that will include the style of cause, the file number, who the parties are and who the service needs to be addressed to. This will be put in by the legal assistant.”

“In family law, legal assistants generally take a more active role,” he compares. “There are a lot of applications that need to be done, or divorce documents… often legal assistants know these nuances and they can draft documents accordingly.”

If you are interested in a career as a legal assistant, here are some responsibilities you will have upon the required completion of a legal assistant course:

Draft and proofread legal documents and correspondence.

Collect, organize and examine evidence and other legal documents for your attorney, in preparation of a case. 

Research laws and regulations to help with the preparation of reports and case files.

Guide to Super Visa: Bringing Families Together in Canada

There is no doubt that Canada has become one of the most popular countries where people all over the globe are settling. But the sad news is that it is not possible for them to bring their families to Canada during immigration time. Since Canada understands family values, it has launched several immigration streams so that temporary workers and permanent residents in Canada can bring their families to Canada.   The super visa program is one of the most important programs which help immigrants bring their parents and grandparents. If you are one of them and want to reunite with your family in Canada, contact an experienced super visa consultant in Edmonton, Alberta.

What is the Super Visa?

The Super visa program will help Canadian citizens and permanent residents to bring their parents to Canada for up to 5 years. The most interesting part is they don't need to renew their immigration status within the time.

Who is Eligible for This Program?

You must be the parents or grandparents of a permanent resident in Canada or Canadian citizens.

Must submit a letter of invitation

Meet the mandatory income requirements

Purchased medical insurance coverage for at least one year from a Canadian insurance company

Don't have any medical inadmissibilities.

  If you want to visit and stay with your son or grandson for years in Canada, contact an experienced super visa consultant in Edmonton, Alberta.

What is the Super Visa Application Procedure?

Fill Forms and Apply

Complete the application form, either online or at the visa center, with the help of a super Visa consultant, and hand in all the necessary documents.

How Much Time Does It Take to Process a Super Visa?

The time it takes to process a Canada Super Visa differs based on where you apply from. If it's your first Super Visa application, it might take 2-6 months, depending on your country. But if you had past issues with Canadian visitor visas or were denied entry before, it might affect how long it takes for your application to process.

What Happens Once You Apply for a Super Visa?

Once you give your biometrics and send your application, Canadian immigration officers might ask for the following:

An interview

More details

A medical check

A police certificate

Top Places to Visit in Bowness, Calgary

Bowness is a neighborhood and former town in west Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The former town was amalgamated into the City of Calgary in 1964. The neighborhood is bordered by the Bow River to the north and east, 16 Avenue to the south, and Stoney Trail to the west.

Edworthy Park

Edworthy Park is a city park located in the Northwest section of Calgary along the south shore of the Bow River. The Canadian Pacific Railway crosses the length of the park. It was named after Thomas Edworthy, who immigrated to the Calgary area in 1883 from Devon, England. The trees that can be found in Edworthy Park include riparian woodland with aspen, willow, and balsam poplar. There is also some grassland mixed shrubland, and an escarpment where white spruce dominates. The spruce is an isolated population of Douglas-fir, some more than 400 years old.

Edworthy Park is built on the former site of a sandstone quarry. The land was purchased by the City of Calgary in 1962 for the development of the park. Prior to the mid-1990s, the City of Calgary intended to eventually replace Edworthy Park with an extension of the Shaganappi Trail freeway. The extension would have linked Shaganappi Trail, Sarcee Trail, and Bow Trail at a major interchange that would take up most of the southwest part of Edworthy Park. During the development of the Calgary Transportation Plan (also known as "The Go Plan") in 1995, public opposition to the roadway led to it being removed from future consideration.

Calgary Stampede

The Calgary Stampede is an annual rodeo, exhibition, and festival held every July in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The ten-day event, which bills itself as "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth", attracts over one million visitors per year and features one of the world's largest rodeos, a parade, a midway, stage shows, concerts, agricultural competitions, chuckwagon racing, and First Nations exhibitions. In 2008, the Calgary Stampede was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame.

The event's roots are traced to 1886 when the Calgary and District Agricultural Society held its first fair. In 1912, American promoter Guy Weadick organized his first rodeo and festival, known as the Stampede. He returned to Calgary in 1919 to organize the Victory Stampede in honor of soldiers returning from World War I. Weadick's festival became an annual event in 1923 when it merged with the Calgary Industrial Exhibition to create the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede.
