Wildfire Update:

no active wildfires in forest areas NICHOLAS L.M. ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter

Vigilance urged for both residents and visitors in effort to reduce wildfire risk in the forest area that includes the Crowsnest Pass The Calgary Forest Area, which includes the Crowsnest Pass, is one of ten divisions under Alberta Wildfire’s jurisdiction. As of June 28, there are no reports of active wildfires in the area.

Anastasia Drummond, Area Information Coordinator, confirms that the 2024 season has seen 51 wildfires burning approximately 12.5 hectares, a typical figure for this region.

“Our area extends from the Red Deer River south along the foothills to the Waterton Lakes National Park border, with some irregular boundaries,” Drummond

Y2Y Conservation Initiative update to council NICHOLAS L.M. ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter

There was a presentation from the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative at the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass Council Meeting on June 25 At the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass Council Meeting on June 25, representatives from the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) presented

The Crowsnest Museum is located in downtown Coleman - 7701 18 Ave, Coleman, AB T0K 0M0 Open 7 Days a Week from 10 am - 5 pm

explained, “We often see high fire danger in May, when the snow has melted but the vegetation hasn’t greened up yet. June rains usually help, but as the season progresses, particularly in the south, fire danger tends to climb slowly and steadily.”

A unique challenge for the Calgary Forest Area is the high proportion of human-caused wildfires.

“While provincially 67 per cent of wildfires are caused by humans, in our area, it’s between 90 to 95 per cent, primarily due to recreational activities,” said Drummond, “This includes unattended or abandoned campfires, fireworks, and exploding targets, despite the latter two being prohibited in forest protection areas.”

Alberta Wildfire employs peace officers authorized to issue warnings and violation tickets under the Forest and Prairie Protection Act. “If you notice any dangerous activity, report it through the 310-FIRE line for fire-related incidents, 310-LAND for land abuse, or 911 for illegal activities,” said Drummond.

She emphasized the importance of checking for fire bans before heading out, especially during long weekends when human-caused wildfires spike.

“Be responsible on the land. Keep campfires small, contained and always attended. Fully extinguish fires by soaking, stirring, and soaking again until no heat remains,” said Drummond, “If you see smoke or fire that isn’t being addressed, report it immediately to 310-FIRE. Early reporting helps us control fires before they grow too large.”

As summer progresses, residents and visitors should stay vigilant and adhere to fire safety guidelines to prevent wildfires in the Calgary Forest Area.

their ongoing efforts and future plans in the region. Nicole Olivier, the Manager of Landscape Protection, and Patty Richards, Program Advisor, spoke on behalf of the organization.

After introducing herself, Olivier emphasized Y2Y’s long-term commitment to the region, highlighting the organization’s 30-year history.

“We’ve been around for 30 years now. We’ve [had a] long history of collaborating with governments and religious communities and community groups,” she said.

Richards, who has extensive experience with community relations from her time at Shell Canada, expressed her enthusiasm for Y2Y’s current initiatives.

“What we wanted to do was sort of just tell you what we’re doing in the area now,” explained Richards.

Olivier provided a comprehensive overview of Y2Y’s mission, which aims to connect and protect the landscape from Yellowstone in the U.S. to the northern Yukon.

“We are looking to connect and protect landscape between the Yellowstone area and the US to the northern Yukon, as that’s the largest, most intact mountain region in North America,” she said, also noting the importance of working with local communities to achieve these goals.

One of the key projects discussed was the Rock Creek underpass, part of a broader effort to improve wildlife crossings.

“We’ve a long history of being involved in wildlife crossings throughout the region, and so we’re really excited for the Rock Creek underpass,” Olivier said.

These initiatives are critical for ensuring that both people and wildlife can move safely across the landscape. Richards highlighted the ongoing work to address the high mortality rates of grizzly bears in the Elk Valley.

“The Elk Valley has less than one per cent of grizzly bear range in the province of BC, but it accounts for 33 per cent of bear deaths,” she noted.

Efforts to mitigate these issues include working with local communities on bear-resistant garbage bins and other conflict prevention measures. The presenters also discussed their engagement with indigenous communities and the importance of planning for sustainable tourism and economic development.

“We are doing a lot of work across the Y2Y region, and right now the Alberta government has a large focus on southwest Alberta,” said Olivier.

Council members expressed appreciation for Y2Y’s efforts and inquired about further support for bear management programs. Olivier assured the council that Y2Y’s policy team could advocate for the return of the provincial bear dog program, which had previously been successful in the community.

“We have a really well-developed policy team and so that’s something that we can advocate for,” she said.

The meeting concluded with a discussion on potential collaborations to improve waste management and reduce bear attractants. Richards and Olivier expressed their willingness to share expertise and successful strategies from other regions.

4 - CROWSNEST PASS HERALD - Wednesday, July 3, 2024

Herald Editorial LISA SYGUTEK Recently the news has been full of stories regarding the foreign interference and Canadian elected officials. you cant’t open a newspaper without reading what’s been happening and wondering who really controls this country.

Foreign interference in Canada poses a significant threat to democracy and should not be taken lightly.

It undermines the integrity of the democratic process, erodes public trust, and compromises national security.

If the Canadian government fails to address politicians involved in such interference, it should lead to the downfall of the liberal government. Additionally, the public has the right to know who these politicians are in order to make informed decisions and hold them accountable.

Foreign interference in a country’s internal affairs refers to the involvement of external actors, such as foreign governments or organizations, in influencing domestic politics and policies. This interference can take various forms, including spreading disinformation, funding political campaigns, hacking systems, and manipulating public opinion through social media.

Such actions directly undermine the democratic principles of sovereignty, transparency, and fair elections.

One of the key reasons why foreign interference is a threat to democracy is that it undermines the integrity of the democratic process. When external actors meddle in domestic politics, they manipulate public opinion, distort information, and influence electoral outcomes. This interferes with the ability of citizens to make informed decisions based on accurate information and undermines the legitimacy of the democratic system.

Moreover, foreign interference erodes public trust in the democratic process. When citizens suspect that their political leaders or parties have been compromised by foreign powers, it creates a sense of disillusionment and cynicism. This skepticism can lead to decreased voter turnout, increased polarization, and a weakening of democratic institutions.

In the case of the liberal government, if politicians involved in foreign interference are not held accountable, it could result in the demise of the government.

The public expects their elected officials to uphold democratic values and act in the best interests of the country. Failure to address politicians involved in foreign interference would erode public trust in the liberal government and damage its credibility. This could lead to a loss of support, internal divisions within the party, and ultimately, a loss of power.

Transparency and accountability are crucial in maintaining a healthy democracy. The public has the right to know which politicians were involved in foreign interference. By revealing the identities of those involved, citizens can hold them accountable and make informed decisions during elections. Transparency also acts as a deterrent for future interference, as potential foreign actors would know that their actions will be exposed and face consequences.

Furthermore, disclosing the identities of politicians involved in foreign interference is essential for safeguarding national security. It allows security agencies to investigate and take appropriate measures to protect the country’s interests. Without this information, it becomes challenging to identify ongoing threats and develop effective countermeasures.

Foreign interference in Canada poses a significant threat to democracy. If the liberal government does not address politicians involved in such interference, it should lead to its downfall. The public has the right to know who these politicians are in order to hold them accountable and make informed decisions. Transparency and accountability are vital for maintaining the integrity of the democratic process and safeguarding national security.

Teach your children bike rules BETTY WAMSLEY Down any street in the Crowsnest Pass you’ll see people from school age to adult riding bicycles on the sidewalk, on the left side of the road, three or four riders abreast across the street - so signals to turn - totally unaware of traffic or pedestrians.

If one of the riders abreast looks back and sees your vehicle they’ll scatter to both sides of the road, then one will invariably decide to cross in front of you to the other side. Or they keep peddling at a leisurely pace, totally unaware of everyone around them except

their enjoyment, giving a new meaning to defensive driving. Or a person riding a bike while on the news “staff of life”, the cell phone. We’ve seen little old women or men diving for cover after doing “which way is he coming dances” as a cyclist bears down on them on a sidewalk, head down, state of the art helmet on, spandex shorts - the whole bit.

Ride a bike and get healthy, it’s a wonderful thing, but why should bicyclists have no rules to comply with when motorists must pass written and driving tests to operate a vehicle? Rules of the road should encompass all of those on the road.

We used to have a Bicycle Safety Program in the Pass each year, why not now?

Parents buy children expensive bikes, helmets and the rest of the gear, help to see that they learn how to ride and that appears to be it. The mechanics of riding a bike aren’t enough. Teach your children bicycle safety, if you know it, which includes courtesy.

Crowsnest Pass Municipal Council update NICHOLAS L.M. ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter

The Municipality had a Regular Council Meeting on June 25 at 7 p.m. to discuss a variety of bylaws and policies The council approved the third reading of a land sale and development deal, primarily focusing on Bellevue. The upgrade program is part of a land sale agreement that will enable the construction of new apartments, thereby expanding residential options in the area.

Another significant agenda item was the rezoning of a part of a lot from non-urban residential to multi-use. This change will facilitate the development of a fourunit structure. The administration supports this concept, citing the need for increased multi-unit developments.

Discussion also highlighted potential environmental concerns, particularly in the proposed development area, which falls within a buffer zone. This area has not yet undergone the required environmental studies. As such, there are restrictions on basement developments due to possible contamination from former waste sites.

The council discussed the necessity of buying a new snowcat for the ski hill. The current snowcat, a 2008 model, is nearing the end of its service life, and maintaining it is becoming increasingly costly. The proposed new snowcat, estimated to cost $540,000 before trade-in value, is essential for the efficient grooming of the ski hill, a vital tourism asset for the community.

The administration mentioned the positive reception from Bellevue residents

about the current work on main street, showing that operations have been well-received and communication efforts are effective. Overall, the project is progressing smoothly, with only a slight delay due to the requirement of specialized equipment from Calgary.

The storm, sanitary, and water mains are nearly complete, with a significant tie-in scheduled for July 4. This will temporarily disrupt water services in South Bellevue but will soon resume.

Council members were briefed on the progress of various patching and paving projects, with a focus on addressing potholes and improving road conditions. A demonstration of a new spray patcher will decide its potential inclusion in future capital projects.

The municipality also ratified two harassment policies aimed at creating a safer environment for both municipal staff and the public. The policies, identified as 1817-01 (External Public Harassment) and 1818-01 (Internal Harassment), have been meticulously reviewed and updated with the help of legal counsel to align with current legislation.

The External Public Harassment policy addresses harassment originating from public user groups, coaches, and other external parties, while the Internal Harassment policy pertains to incidents within the organization, among staff members.

Though similar in structure, each policy includes specific procedures tailored to its respective context.

During the meeting, it was highlighted that harassment accounts for approximately eight to 10 per cent of the incidents reported annually, ranging from verbal assaults to threats of violence. The policies set clear expectations for acceptable behaviour and outline the municipality’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment. Tools for addressing severe cases include trespass orders and legal charges, underscoring the seriousness with which the municipality approaches such behaviour.

The municipality provides multiple channels for the public to report concerns, including phone lines, an app-based problem reporting system and formal complaint forms. Staff members are trained in handling complaints and understanding the policies, ensuring a consistent and informed response to any issues that arise.

Council members expressed strong support for the updated policies. They also acknowledged the increasing prevalence of external harassment, particularly online, and stressed the need for firm measures to protect staff and maintain a respectful environment.

7 Screaming Sisters Jamboree coming soon NICHOLAS L.M. ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter

One-of-a-kind music experience coming to the Crowsnest Pass on July 20 The Crowsnest Pass is set to host an unforgettable musical experience with the debut of the 7 Screaming Sisters Jamboree. This unique event, founded by Josh Hellawell, promises to bring the best of Western Canada’s music scene to the community.

“It’s going to be awesome. That’s probably the most important thing,” said Hellawell, the Founder and Artistic Director of the Jamboree. “Brass Camel, our headliner, just came out of the studio with their second album, and we’re one of their first stops. So, expect to hear brand new songs that nobody’s ever heard before. It’s the first show of its kind in the Crowsnest Pass—a private show on private land, which is cool.”

The Jamboree will feature an all-Canadian lineup with bands from Alberta and

RCMP Fourth Quarter Report to council NICHOLAS L.M. ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter

The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass recently heard from the RCMP at a council meeting on June 25 The RCMP detachment in Crowsnest Pass recently presented its fourth-quarter report to the local council, providing an overview of their activities, challenges and successes over the last few months of 2023 and into early 2024.

The detachment engaged in extensive community consultations. A major focus was on intelligence gathering and suppression of motorcycle gang activities, a persistent issue in the area. The RCMP reported considerable progress in this area, thanks to their diligent efforts.

Traffic safety stayed a top priority, particularly given the presence of Highway 3. The detachment handled 58 motor vehicle collisions during the fourth quarter.

None were fatal, though seven resulted in non-fatal injuries. With the expected increase in traffic, as the region serves as a gateway into British Columbia, aggressive driving continues to be a significant concern. The RCMP is focusing on keeping a strong presence to address this issue.

Enhancing police visibility and community relations was another key area of fo-

British Columbia.

“We want to bring the best things to the Crowsnest Pass. That’s our mission,” Hellawell emphasized.

Here’s a look at the lineup: Brass Camel: This rock group from Vancouver, led by 29-year-old Daniel Sveinson, promises a thrilling performance. Sveinson had performed at the Apollo Theatre and played with Les Paul by the age of 12.

Petunia & The Vipers: Known for their eclectic sound and described as “Hank Williams on acid” or “Tom Waits meets Elvis,” this band is sure to deliver an unforgettable show.

Dave McCann & The Firehearts: A singer-songwriters in contemporary roots music, Dave McCann’s storytelling and musical prowess are set to make for a compelling performance.

Decadent Phase: Bringing the spirit of late 60s psychedelia, this young band from Lethbridge is influenced by classic acts like Buffalo Springfield.

ADEQUATE!: A funk band at the centre of a new era in urban contemporary music, ADEQUATE! will get everyone grooving.

Bow City Underground: A classic rock, country, soul, and blues band, featuring Hellawell’s father, whose lifelong passion for music inspired the Jamboree.

One unique aspect of the Jamboree is its commitment to safety and community.

“We want to encourage people to camp overnight,” said Hellawell, “We’ll be serving alcohol, including beers from local breweries and Pabst Blue Ribbon, our event sponsor. If people want to have a good time, they shouldn’t drive. Camping is only $25, and we’re even serving a midnight breakfast with pancakes, chicken, and eggs.”

Tickets are available in advance at 7screamingsistersjamboree.ca or can be bought in-person at Ritchie Parts and Mechanical in Blairmore and Back Country Butcher.

cus. Officers conducted regular patrols and increased foot patrols within the community. They also took part in local events, such as a high school recruiting drive and fraud prevention presentations for the elderly. These efforts aim to make the RCMP more approachable and to educate the community on important safety issues.

The detachment continued its work on combating gang-related activities and drug trafficking. They have been developing intelligence to target drug traffickers effectively. This initiative coincides with their efforts to address substance abuse within the community.

The detachment faced some staffing challenges at the end of the fourth quarter.

One officer transferred to another detachment, and his replacement has yet to be named. Additionally, an officer is on parental leave, expected to return in November, and another is on medical leave. On a positive note, the detachment welcomed a new support staff member and announced the addition of a supervisory position to help manage administrative tasks, allowing officers to focus more on patrols and community engagement.

There has been an uptick in property crime, particularly involving stolen vehicles. The RCMP successfully resolved a recent case of vehicle theft on Highway 22, thanks to community members who reported suspicious activities. This collaboration between the police and the community was instrumental in apprehending the suspects according to the detachment.

A recent initiative introduced is the Offender Management Program, aimed at prolific offenders within the community. This program works with offenders upon their release from detention, ensuring they adhere to their release conditions and providing them with resources to aid their reintegration into society. The RCMP has identified three individuals for this program, with one already making progress.

Council members expressed their appreciation for the RCMP’s efforts, particularly in fraud prevention for seniors and the increased visibility through foot patrols. They also discussed the need for ongoing conversations about traffic flow and population growth in Crowsnest Pass, which affect the detachment’s resources and responsibilities.

Associate superintendent of business services Jeff Perry presented the third quarter financial report during the board’s June 24 meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod.

The report at the end of May 31 represents 75 per cent of the school division’s fiscal year, and 90 per cent of the school year.

The school board’s audit committee met with management June 17 to review revenue, expenses and net assets.

“We spent two hours meeting with management to review in detail the financial results,” said school board chair Lori Hodges, who also chairs the audit committee.

“Management provided a thorough review and answered all committee members’ questions and inquiries.”

Trustee Carla Gimber and trustee Kathy Charchun also serve on the audit committee along with public members Marilyn Welsh and Martha Ratcliff.

Associate superintendent of business services Jeff Perry told trustees there is a decrease in financial position of $678,651 from the prior year.

School Division update cont’d from page 8 By the end of the third financial quarter, the school division had revenue totalling $42.69-million, or 76.4 per cent of the budgeted amount for the year.

Expenses totalled $43.37-million by the end of the third quarter, or 77 per cent of the budgeted amount.

That left the school division with a deficit of $678,651, which is higher than the budgeted deficit of $454,498.

“Even though we’re over at the end of the third quarter, we anticipate being under what was budgeted by about $240,000,” Perry said.

Expenses will be reduced significantly in July and August with no school-based costs, lower utility charges, 10-month staff not being paid and no international student costs.

Those reduced expenses will lower the deficit by $468,278 to $210,373.

Livingstone Range had $2,071,511 in operating reserves at the end of the 2022-’23 fiscal year, which was 3.72 per cent of overall operating expenses.

At the end of the third quarter of 2023-’24 the operating reserves had decreased to $1,392,860, or 2.47 per cent of operating expenses.

“We know that will change over the next few months,” Perry said.

“It is anticipated operating reserves will be $1,861,138 by the end of the fourth quarter, or 3.3 per cent of operating expenses.

Perry noted the PEAKS Campus is self-funding, and the money does not come out of other instructional funding.

Last year, the school division had a $1.3-million deficit.

Trustees to review own spending, operations Livingstone Range School Board is sharpening its red pencils to cut its own spending.Trustees approved a motion last week to have a thorough review of board operations to find efficiencies and cost savings.

Trustee Brad Toone introduced the motion during the board’s June 24 meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building.

The school board in May approved its 2024-’25 budget with a planned deficit of $313,000.

The budget includes 4.1 fewer full-time equivalent (FTE) teaching positions.

The new budget calls for $56,275,456 in revenue, which is up from $55,899,308 in 2023.

Livingstone Range forecasts expenses to total $56,588,570 in the new budget, compared to $58,353,806 in 2023.

Toone has heard from people about the difficulties the recent budget is creating for students in the area of staff reductions.

Students are struggling to come to terms with the loss of valued teachers.

“Those challenges are heartbreaking,” Toone said of the situation that exists across Livingstone Range because of a lack of provincial funding.

“We’ve been lucky to have resources in the form of surpluses to kind of help cushion those blows, and I think administration does an amazing job of helping to find efficiencies in every way,” Toone said.

Reviewing school board operations will ensure trustees are doing the same kind of cost-cutting that is going on across the division, Toone said.

“I think we need to have deliberate conversations to make sure we’re doing the same thing that they’re doing on a daily basis in finding those efficiencies,” Toone said.

areas of awareness of self and environment; cognitive skills; language and communication; and physical development.

Parents get a report on the evaluation along with information on things they can work on with the child at home.

The information allows teachers to prepare a response plan for each individual child who requires some intervention.

Over the 2023-’24 school year, 40 Livingstone Range students were coded “severe” and received extra support through program unit funding.

Nine students were coded “moderate,” and 26 were coded “mild to moderate.”

Support can come from educational assistants, learning support teachers, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech and language pathologists, deaf and hard of hearing support, or a teacher for the visually impaired.

Feller noted the number of students receiving support has declined to 49 this year, from 76 in 2019-’20.

“We’re slowly starting to see that increase again,” Feller said, noting 53 students are projected to require interventions in the fall.

That is due in part to coding qualification changes and more screenings than could be done during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Feller told trustees that three times a year early learning educators and ECS teachers come together in collaboration and professional development.

Professional development included sessions on the science of reading, fine motor and using gross motor, fine motor, language and communication in small centres in the classroom.

A new teacher mentorship program was set up to help new teachers.

In the coming year, early learning will continue to use data to respond to needs, and will ensure student assessments are completed.

There will be continued professional development on Building Thinking Brains and The Brain Story.

Educational assistants will receive instruction in “Learning Language and Loving It” developed by the Hanen Institute.

Families will be urged to register in early learning prior to children entering Kindergarten.

Feller told trustees there was much to celebrate in early learning, in particular the educators and students.

“They are an amazing bunch of people,” Feller said.

Toone added it is important to have a motion on the books that the board will review its operations.

“I think it’s really timely with the budget that we just approved to do this for us,” Toone said. “It sets us up going forward.”

As part of the work each board committee will review its own operations to find cost-saving efficiencies.

Trustee Carla Gimber supported the motion.

“I think it’s a great idea to review our board operations for efficiencies and cost reductions,” Gimber said.

Each committee is to present its own recommendation to streamline operations and cut costs.

Early learning helps young students get good start Livingstone Range School Division staff is working to make sure the youngest students get off to a good start.

Leanne Feller, the school division’s early learning and inclusive learning coach, made a presentation last week to school board trustees.

Feller was at the June 24 school board meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod.

“I’m excited to get to come and share all the great things that are happening across the division,” Feller said.

A licensed preschool is running at Canyon school with an enrollment of 27 students with sessions four mornings and two afternoons per week.

Another licensed preschool is operating at Horace Allen school with an enrollment of 52 attending classes four mornings and four afternoons a week.

At A.B. Daley school there is a full-day ECS and early learning option with 37 students attending four days a week.

Livingstone Range has collaborative partnerships with preschools and daycares in Claresholm, Fort Macleod and Nanton.

Fees for children attending two half days a week will rise to $77.25 a month, from $75.

Fees for children attending four half days a week rise to $154.50, from $150.

Feller then turned her attention to Kindergarten.

“We had quite a few little people in our Kindergarten classrooms,” Feller said.

Enrollment in the various programs was: A.B. Daley, 29; Canyon school, 39; Granum school, five; Horace Allen school, 34 total; Livingstone school, 12; Stavely school, six; W.A. Day school, 49l; West Meadow school, 51.

Feller told trustees about the Early Years Evaluation, which includes a direct assessment in the fall and spring for children entering Kindergarten, and a teacher assessment done in Kindergarten.

Livingstone Range previously used the Ages and Stages program but switched to Early Years Evaluation.

“We’re really trying to focus more on the data that provides for us so that we can provide those early interventions that we know are so important,” Feller said.

Early intervention can help improve students’ literacy and numeracy skills by Grade 3.

By the end of May, 108 children entering Kindergarten had been assessed in the

School board sets meeting dates Livingstone Range School Board has its meeting schedule set for 2024-’25.

Trustees approved regular board meeting and committee of the whole dates during the June 24 meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod.

The only change to the list presented at last week’s meeting was to move the September committee of the whole meeting to Sept. 11, from Sept. 10.

That is the day trustees will go to the PEAKS Campus in the Crowsnest Pass for a “Day on the Land” session.

Regular board meetings, which are to be held on Tuesdays, are set for Sept. 24, Oct. 22, Nov. 26, Dec. 17, Jan. 28, Feb. 25, March 25, April 29, May 27, and June 24.

Principal Paul Pichurski’s Well Wishes to the Graduates Graduates, as we make our way to the end of today’s Cap and Gown Ceremony, you have one official task remaining.

Your tassel is currently on your right side of your cap. This symbolizes your formal time as a student in an educational institution.

When you move the tassel to the left side of your cap, you are confirming your newfound graduate status, a right of passage.

Graduates, please move your tassels from the right side of your cap to the left side. However, with the achievement of graduation comes the responsibility of being an alumni.

As of this moment, you have also become an alumni of Crowsnest Consolidated High School. You may have thought that your connection to our school was finished as of today, but, as an alumni, you still belong here - we remain in relationship with each other - if you find yourself in need of a professional reference, an academic reference, any amount of academic upgrading or other guidance, be sure to contact us. At the same time, as an alumni, we might call on you from time to time - we may ask you to present to our students about your experiences in post secondary or your chosen career. After today, you will now be officially “on the wall” - your graduation photos will be up early in the fall - along with the many years of graduates from our school. We may also call upon you to coach, to referee, to tutor or to volunteer in the coming years - we, as a school, look forward to working with you.

And with that I ask that you please rise one last time - parents, community members, school staff, I present to you the Graduating Class of 2024!

Greg Long Livingstone Range Trustee Good morning, OKI, Graduands, parents, guardians, family members, honoured guests, staff, students, and visitors.

My name is Gregory Long. I am one of the school board trustees for the Crowsnest Pass , Lundbreck and Cowley, and I am honoured to have been asked to share some of my thoughts with you on this memorable occasion.

The grad committee chose the theme “Starry Nights” for the banquet. I wonder how many knew it is a very famous work of art by Vincent Van Gogh? The painting” Starry Nights” depicts a small town nestled in a wooded valley, the night sky full of stars, clouds, and the moon overhead ,and a twisted tree in the foreground. Van Gogh said,” The sight of the stars makes me dream.” Critics have put forward many meanings for Starry Nights but, for me, it could represent any of the beautiful communities in the Crowsnest Pass, and very appropriate for your beautiful prom banquet and arrangements. I congratulate you for that achievement.

The theme created many thoughts in my mind. Firstly, I was reminded of early elementary teachers giving out gold stars for good work. You are about to receive a diploma for the successful completion of high school. Definitely symbolic of the gold star but at a much higher level.

My second thought was that stars are literally out of reach but ,figuratively speaking, reaching for the stars is considered trying to fulfill your dreams, your aspirations. Trying to build harmony in your life. Reaching for whatever goals you set for yourself. Professor Stephen Hawking said,” Remember to look up at the stars and now down to your feet.” Stay planted in reality. Your high school completion, or the level you wanted to achieve, may at times have seemed like reaching for the stars ,or unattainable, but you kept your feet on the ground, stayed focused and achieved the goal.

My third reflection , when thinking about starry nights ,seemed most meaningful. The thought was about navigation. Early civilizations.

They had many forms of navigation. One form of early navigation, in medieval times, was by lantern. People used to attach a lamp to a horse when travelling at night. This was, of course, the earliest form of navigation by saddle light.

Another form of early navigation was by using the stars which was much more complicated; took much more knowledge and education than lanterns. “The Starry Night”; travellers might use Polaris, the North Star, the constellation of Orion, Crux, the Southern Cross.

Your star, your beacon, your dream, was a high school diploma. Each of you has navigated your way through 13 years of education, but you did not all take the same direction. Remember , the star you navigated upon, the direction you took, was yours, suitable to you, not meant for anyone else. Sometimes you may have changed direction, taken a different path, slowed down or sped up but you kept the goal ,the star, in mind , and you reached the destination; end of one journey, high school graduation. Regardless of the star you followed , or the route you took, or the time you took, absolutely be proud of yourself. All of you.

Congratulations to each of you, as we, gathered here on this very special day, honour you for your achievement.

Congratulations Class of 2024

CCHS Graduation 2024 - CROWSNEST PASS HERALD - 6

Valedictory - Quinn Douglas Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed faculty, proud parents, and fellow graduates, it is an honour to stand before you today as the valedictorian of Crowsnest Consolidated High School’s Class of 2024. Today marks a significant milestone in our lives, a day we’ve eagerly awaited and worked tirelessly to achieve. It is a day of celebration, reflection, and anticipation for the future.

First, let us take a moment to acknowledge those who have made this journey possible. To our teachers and administrators, thank you for your unwavering dedication, guidance, and support. You have not only imparted knowledge but have also shaped us into the individuals we are today. Mr. Peebles showed incredible patience every time we interrupted his class with random remarks and questions and Ms. Mac’s story on past student behaviour both good and bad making sure to throw in a few English words to throw us off even though it made me want to defenestrate someone.

To our parents and families, your love and encouragement have been the bedrock of our success especially when it come down to getting us out of bed for school. We are forever grateful for the sacrifices you have made to help us reach this point. Our parents were incredible fundraisers throughout the year be it the Senior’s Supper, Grad Bottle Drive or decorating the gym for the Graduation Ceremony. Because some of the parents hate to lose, we were the class that fundraised the most money!

And to my fellow graduates, congratulations! We have navigated the challenges, embraced the opportunities, and now stand ready to embark on the next chapter of our lives.

As we look back on our time at Crowsnest Consolidated High School, we are reminded of the many experiences that have defined our journey. From the excitement of our first day of high school to the bitter-sweet moments of our final year, we have grown and evolved in ways we could never have imagined. We’ve made lifelong friends, discovered our passions, and overcome obstacles that seemed insurmountable especially Ms. Peebles’ Math Class or Mr. Tkachuk’s papers!

High school has been a microcosm of adulthood, and we’ve experienced three key pillars that will guide us in the real world: socialization, building relationships, and resilience.

First, socialization. Many of us started high school engrossed in our own worlds, often more comfortable behind computer screens than in face-to-face interactions. But as we became part of the school family, we learned the importance of communicating effectively. In the real world, no matter how smart you are, success hinges on your ability to connect with others. Here, we learned to collaborate, share ideas, and support each other—skills that will be invaluable throughout our lives.

Second, creating relationships. Our teachers have been more than educators; they’ve been our mentors and advocates. Consider Mr. Peebles, with whom many of us have spent over 500 classes with in various science courses. He has been a mentor, guiding us through complex concepts and encouraging our curiosity. In life, we all need to build strong relationships with mentors, whether they are our bosses, colleagues, or peers. These relationships will support us, provide guidance, and open doors to opportunities we might not find on our own.

Third, resilience. High school has presented us with numerous tests and assignments, some of which we did not perform well on. We’ve faced personal challenges, from learning disabilities to breakups. As Rocky Balboa said, “It’s not about how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” Life will continue to test us, and we will fail at times. But it is our ability to get back up and move forward with mental resilience that will define our success in adulthood.

I want to thank the unsung hero’s of our school, the bus drivers who gave us a few snow days, the custodians who keep order, the teacher aids who are always willing to give a helping hand and of course Barb and Rose, for hounding me to get my stuff in on time, including this speech!

To all the teachers we’ve had in our lives from Kindergarten to Grade 12, you have spent more time with us then our parents in some situations, so thank you for your time and patience, especially for people like me who indecently ramble! Mr. Pichurski and Mrs. Hamilton, you are the calm in a sometimes sea of academic discourse.

I will always be thankful for dipping out of class to visit everyone in the school, for dressing up every Halloween, joining in random classes and allowing me to just be me! We have grown up with you all throughout the years and I wouldn’t be me without you whether I’ve known you since kindergarten or met you through our exchange program. You have all had tremendous influence in my life and I’m sure I am definitely the one to talk for our entire class that they have had the same experience.

As we bid farewell to this chapter of our lives, let us do so with gratitude and hope. High school has been a precursor to life, equipping us with the essential tools we need to navigate the future. We leave with cherished memories and a sense of accomplishment.

To the Class of 2024, I say this: go forth with confidence and determination. Embrace the future with an open heart and an adventurous spirit. Believe in yourselves and your capacity to achieve greatness. And no matter where life takes you, always remember that you have the power to create a better world.
