publisher & editor-in-chief ’s message

It has been more than a century since the first edition of the Evening Journal rolled off a small set of presses at the back of the Shamrock Fruit Store at First Street and 101A Avenue.

Today, 109 years later, the Edmonton Journal reaches into the lives of hundreds of thousands of Albertans every week in print, online, on tablets and apps and via mobile devices. One thing that hasn’t changed, though, is our dedication to excellence in journalism and our commitment to our community. Our newsroom, the largest in northern Alberta, is focused on providing you with relevant local information as well as the best of provincial, national and international news. We also believe in meaningful engagement with the citizens of our city and region. Our community newsroom, The Bridge, provides a forum for readers to interact with us and with others, and we continue to explore other ways in which we can have a two-way conversation with our audiences, however they want to reach us. That community connection is at the heart of everything we do. We invite you to join the conversation.

economic growth

economic growth Alberta’s energy sector is going strong, even in the face of global turmoil. Though the threat of a recession in the Eurozone has sent global financial markets into turmoil, oil prices have regained much of their lost ground and are expected to climb higher over 2012 and 2013, eventually reaching an average of US$106 in 2013. Energy investment in Alberta will swell thanks to the thriving oilsands, increasing from $31.8 billion in 2011 to $57 billion by 2016. Edmonton, as Alberta’s energy hub, continues to be one of the top performers in Canada, posting an estimated GDP gain of 3.6 per cent in 2011. Edmonton’s GDP is forecast to grow by 3.4 per cent in 2012 and by an even faster 4.3 per cent in 2013.

When my son was growing up, he was very active and had a healthy appetite. I was the same when I was a kid, but unlike my son, I had three brothers with the same trait. I’m not sure how my parents, who were on the low side of the low-to middle income bracket, could afford to keep us fed. But I think my mom’s

gredients in your slow cooker and let it happily simmer until you and your family come home later in the day, hungry and ready to eat. To serve, you simply spoon the meat in taco shells or tortillas and top as desired, with such things as shredded lettuce, grated cheese and any other garnishes that appeal. The tacos, of course, can be eaten as is; if you’re making burritos, you’ll have to fold and roll the meat inside the tortillas before devouring. My second recipe is bolognese sauce. In Italy, the making of this classic sauce

ded lettuce. Quite delicious! I didn’t include a recipe for it today because it’s really not needed, but one of the groundbeef dishes my mom used to make was hamburgers. Most often she would simply shape the meat (about four to five patties per pound of lean ground beef) into 3-1/2to 4-inch thick patties. She wouldn’t use any other ingredients and always dampened her hands with cold water when forming the burgers. She would then season the meat with salt and pepper and pan-fry the patties about 4

I’ve never shopped at Costco. I’ve never tasted Red Bull, with, or without, vodka. I’ve never been to Vegas, or snowboarded, or watched what’s bound to be a life-altering, gutbustingly funny episode of Two and a Half Men. And I’ve yet to spank my son. Granted, the boy is only 18 months old. It’s rather early in the game to brag. I’m sure I’ll be tested in the years to come, once he learns to talk back, once he’s able to push and push and push until all I want to do is throttle him, until I fantasize of tanning his misbehaving hide a satisfying vermilion.

SPECIAL REPORT: SOLDIERS’ WINTER WAR GAMES

Go West for more work, less play Better balance needed for Albertans, research says BRENT WITTMEIER Edmonton Journal

RYA N JAC KSON, E DMON TON J OU R NAL

Canadian soldiers with Lord Strathcona’s Horse haul a tow cable from a Bison LAV to an LAV III that was deliberately stuck in snow to test their ability to recover military vehicles on an ice road near Behchoko, N.W.T. The drill is part of Arctic Ram, an exercise designed to familiarize the army with the harsh winter environment .

Troops get reacquainted with bitter bite of Arctic Just out of Yellowknife is Canada’s ďŹ rst northern exercise in years E L I S E S T O LT E Edmonton Journal

Yellowknife - Canadian troops changed their desert fatigues to the dark greens and white of the Canadian boreal forest this month for the largest northern training exercise in decades. But at night, bedded down in a tent on hard-packed snow, hiding from ďŹ ctitious enemy spies on the road, their hearts

Four of them sat up in the tent, watching the Coleman stove slowly pump out heat as the outside temperature dropped to –20 C. Sgt. Timothy Nowlan

Liam Stratton asked, describing the moment Cpl. Brad Cady saved the life of a prisoner wanted for interrogation. Cady has the smallest hands. When two tourniquets weren’t working, he reached into the exit wound left by a sniper’s bullet and pinched the artery long enough for the helicopter to arrive.

Now that the war in Afghanistan is over for Canadian soldiers, about 1,500 troops, mainly Edmonton-based infantry and support staff, are retraining near Yellowknife for the exercise Arctic Ram, giving a show of force in a political climate that stresses

When then premier Don Getty ordered the creation of a family holiday in 1989, Alberta topped the country for rates of divorce and two-parent working families. Twenty-two Family Days later, the holiday is still a muddle, with Albertans enjoying less family time than anyone else in Canada and trailing only Quebec in lacking a sense of community belonging. The popular holiday was subsequently borrowed by Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island, but statistics compiled by the University of Alberta’s Parkland Institute show a “quite startling� lack of work-life balance here. “Family Day comes when it does because people need a break this time of year,� said Diana Gibson, research director. “We hoped this would trigger a conversation about what kind of social-policy framework we need in Alberta to encourage work-life balance.� Parkland compiled the numbers for an upcoming report on inequality in the province, prompted by Premier Alison Redford’s calls last fall for the development of a new social policy framework. The public policy research group reports that Albertans enjoy 182 fewer hours of leisure time each year than the Canadian average. And in 2010, Albertans worked 7.5 hours more each week than the typical worker in the top 15 developed countries. Vacation minimums begin with two weeks plus nine paid holidays, a far cry from the four-week minimums in the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. Gibson said the Albertan tendency to knuckle down can’t be chalked up to one thing. A 44-hour work week and a $9.40 minimum wage create problems compounded by

Keep up with Edmonton’s hot housing market with the Journal’s Homes section every Saturday. Homes takes readers inside some of Edmonton’s most beautifully designed residences, offers investment information for people looking to buy homes, examines the newest trends and designs from Edmonton’s new home builders, and features advice for those in the market for a vacation home or second property. Twice a month, the Journal also produces a Condos section, with a particular focus on the latest design solutions for living in highrises and small spaces, and highlights new developments in the capital region.

Civic affairs writer.

Journal’s business columnist, is the newsroom’s top numbers guy.

David Staples

Liane Faulder is the Journal’s expert on all

things culinary. She writes a Wednesday column for the Food section, as well as her blog, Eat My Words, which was named Best Regional Blog in Canada in 2010 by the Canadian Food Bloggers Association. Since joining the Journal more than 20 years ago, Liane has been a life columnist, city columnist and television critic, as well as a feature writer. A graduate of Ryerson University, Liane is also the author of the Long Walk Home: Paul Franklin’s Journey from Afghanistan, and a recipient of the prestigious Canadian Journalism Fellowship from the University of Toronto. Follow Liane on Twitter, @EatMyWordsBlog.

media kit 2012

sports columnist at the Journal since 2003, has written about everything from football and the Olympics, to rodeo and curling, to golf and skiing - oh, and that popular local hockey team. John has been perching in press boxes around the sporting world since 1981, first with the Canadian Press in Montreal, then the Ottawa Citizen and finally the Journal. A graduate of Concordia and Syracuse universities, John also writes the Sweatsox blog on the Journal website and tweets under the Twitter handle @rjmackinnon. His column appears in the sports section three or four times a week.

Malcolm

Mayes

pens the Journal’s cartoons, one of the paper’s most popular features in print and online. An Edmonton native, he studied design art at Grant MacEwan before starting at the Journal in 1986. Mayes has been published in hundreds of publications and was twice nominated for a National Newspaper Award. In 1996 he published a cartoon collection titled Political Asylum. His cartoons appear on the editorial pages Tuesday through Saturday.

Paula

Simons

is provocative, funny and brash, and whether she’s enraging or engaging Edmontonians with her columns in the Journal’s city section, she always gets people talking. A five-time National Newspaper Award finalist, Paula has previously served as provincial affairs columnist, culture columnist and as a member of the editorial board. She is a graduate of the University of Alberta, Stanford University and the Poynter Institute for Media Studies. Paula is always discussing issues with Journal readers, whether it’s through her Twitter handle @Paulatics, on her Facebook page facebook.com/EJPaulaSimons, or the Journal’s civic affairs blog, Edmonton Commons. Her columns appear Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Liz Nicholls

is a selfconfessed theatre junkie who loves the fact that her job as the Journal’s theatre columnist and critic means she gets to go out to plays for a living. Liz arrived at the Journal in 1983, just as theatres of all sizes and persuasions were proliferating wildly in Edmonton. In 2011, Liz was honoured with the City of Edmonton’s Salute to Excellence Citation, given to citizens for distinguished service and inspirational leadership. Liz’s columns and reviews appear regularly in the Arts and Life section. She’s on Twitter, @lizonstage.

David Staples,

a twotime National Newspaper Award winner, has been reporting on crime, politics, sports and arts for 30 years.

exciting initiatives

community advisory board During the summer of 2011 we solicited applications for a community advisory board to help make sure we are on track as we continue to change and adjust to the rapidly changing media landscape. We received 96 thoughtful submissions from members of the public and from those selected 15 members of the public to be on the Journal’s community advisory board. Editor-in-chief Lucinda Chodan and city reporter Elise Stolte are also on the board and meetings are chaired by Barb Wilkinson, our deputy editor of innovation and engagement. It’s a diverse group that gathers every two months to help shape and direct new initiatives such as The Bridge, attend news meetings and meet editors, and speak to their individual expertise or opinions on a wide range of topics.

media lab One way the Edmonton Journal has looked to deepen and strengthen its relationship to the community it serves, and to support a continuous learning environment among staff, is by creating a Media Lab within its downtown building. We have developed public learning space for students, for members of the public, for clients and partners, and for all staff of the the Journal. It’s already been home to a citizen journalism workshop, 235 Grade 5-6 students visiting through the City Hall school, 55 hours of professional development and five webinars for staff. It’s also hosted meetings for our community advisory board and is home to our first blogger-in-residence, Alex Abboud, who has held office hours for staff and provided workshops for Journal bloggers and community bloggers alike.

Canadian soldiers with Lord Strathcona’s Horse haul a tow cable from a Bison LAV to an LAV III that was deliberately stuck in snow to test their ability to recover military vehicles on an ice road near Behchoko, N.W.T.

When then premier Don Getty ordered the creation of a family holiday in 1989, Alberta topped the country for rates of divorce and two-parent working families. Twenty-two Family Days later, the holiday is still a muddle, with Albertans enjoying less family time than anyone else in Canada and trailing only Quebec in lacking a sense of community belonging. The popular holiday was subsequently borrowed by Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island, but statistics compiled by the University of Alberta’s Parkland Institute show a “quite startling� lack of work-life balance here. “Family Day comes when it does because people need a break this time of year,� said Diana Gibson, research director. “We hoped this would trigger a conversation about what kind of social-policy framework we need in Alberta to encourage work-life balance.� Parkland compiled the numbers for an upcoming report on inequality in the province, prompted by Premier Alison Redford’s calls last fall for the development of a new social policy framework. The public policy research group reports that Albertans enjoy 182 fewer hours of leisure time each year than the Canadian average. And in 2010, Albertans worked 7.5 hours more each week than the typical worker in the top 15 developed countries. Vacation minimums begin with two weeks plus nine paid holidays, a far cry from the four-week minimums in the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. Gibson said the Albertan tendency to knuckle down can’t be chalked up to one thing. A 44-hour work week and a $9.40 minimum wage create problems compounded by

BRIEFS Hyper-local in California If you’re planning a ďŹ rsttime trip or even a revisit, here’s a new app that digs deep into L.A. and San Francisco. â?š Name: Know What â?š Available for: iPhone, iPad â?š What it does: This app curates hyper-local city guide information from people who “know whatâ€? they’re talking about. Locals — who are also authors, journalists and well-known bloggers — reveal their city’s possibilities based on their favourites. â?š Cost: Starts at $2.99 â?š What’s hot: Go straight to the themes (Arts & Culture, Food, Kids & Family, Nature & Outdoors, etc.) or authors that are important to you. Get “On the Trail of the Black Dahliaâ€? from expert tour guide Esotouric, or “The Best Veg Food in the Bay Area as Picked by Genius Expertsâ€? from popular vegan lifestyle blogger Vegansaurus. I was hungry to download “San Francisco’s Top 30 Taquerias.â€? Like this app? New York, Chicago, Boston, Seattle and Portland, Ore., will be added this year. â?š What’s not: In-app purchases are a big turnoff. Why charge $2.99 upfront if it’s going to cost an additional 99 cents to $3.99 for each guide within? Just break the cost down per city, and charge for that. I’d rather pay $6.99 for a city guide than $2.99 three times. â?š Worth it: Yes and no. You’re getting top-notch content in a gorgeous format with easy-touse directions, but tapping into all the articles could put a dent in your wallet. Browse topics before you get too excited.

Just don’t look at the trees and you’ll do fine,� instructs the man I’ve just met, who has my life in his hands for the next seven days. Perched on a windswept ridgeline, I digest his advice while the Bell 212 helicopter that just deposited us on the roof of British Columbia’s Cariboo Mountains swoops away between snowcapped peaks that rise like whitecaps on an ocean of clouds. Forcing visions of a head-on hardwood collision from my mind, I point my fat skis toward the fall line of a wide, untouched slope smothered by a blanket of powder. Further down lies an obstacle

Then cautiously weaving through the silent forest far below, forcing myself not to look at those darn trees. The whoosh of my boards, yelps of joy from my companions, and our guide’s “whoop whoop!â€? yodel, directing us toward our pickup location are the only sounds that break the silence of this timeless wilderness.

Helicopter-assisted skiing and snowboarding in western Canadian mountain ranges like the Cariboos, Selkirks and Bugaboos is as good as it gets. Easy access to massive amounts of terrain, unmatched snow conditions and some of the best operators in the business have made this rugged region legendary among powder hounds. So what’s a powder pup like me with barely an off-piste run to my name doing off the grid, playing with the big dogs? Until recently, heli-skiing was generally considered an extreme sport only accessible to wellheeled, elite skiers. Like most mountain mortals I watched those

Warren Miller movies showing daredevils plunging down impossibly steep and deep wilderness runs in exhilarating dances with gravity with awe and envy. Then I heard about an innovative new weeklong intro to heli-skiing course offered this season by industry leader Canadian Mountain Holidays. Designed to make heliskiing more accessible to average resort skiers with deep pockets and a willingness to get outside their comfort zones, “Powder 101â€? aims to help them make the transition to a new world of deep powder wilderness skiing. Suddenly, learning to carve my snowy signature down untracked slopes blanketed with the uffiest champagne powder on Earth seemed achievable for a groomer grinder. Since CMH practically invented the sport of heli-skiing in North America, and has been the undisputed industry leader for over 40 years, and has exclusive access to a wilderness area half the size of Switzerland, I ďŹ gured I’d be in good hands on my ďŹ rst foray way, way out of bounds. “If you’re comfortable on intermediate runs at most resorts, willing to tackle the occasional black diamond run, and have a real sense of adventure, you’re ready for Powder 101,â€? the CMH representative assured me.

Freedom 66 for most, poll finds JOHN MORRISSY Financial Post OTTAWA - Years of rising consumer debt are coming home to roost, forcing Canadians to rethink traditional plans to retire by age 65. Most Canadians now expect to work past 66, as only 30 per cent think they will be able to fully retire by that age, according to a poll conducted for Sun Life Financial. Debt appears to play a big role in

that equation, with 47 per cent of those surveyed saying they are worried about the debt they’ll be dealing with as retirees. And while many baby boomers have said they’ll work into their retirement years simply because they want to, the majority of those polled — 61 per cent — said they will do it because they have to. In some cases, people said they will have to work longer simply to be able to pay for basic living expenses.

“Canadian retirement expectations are changing,� said Kevin Dougherty, president of Sun Life Financial Canada. “These results are not surprising given the current economic volatility, increasing consumer debt loads, rising health-care costs, longer life expectancy and lack of planning.� At the same time, the Conservative government in Ottawa is looking to reform the retirement income system, including possibly pushing back the qualifying age for Old Age Security

to 67 from 65. Despite economists’ objections that the system is sustainable, Human Resources Minister Diane Finley insisted this week that inaction threatens future pension beneďŹ ts and that reforms will be announced in the spring federal budget. In the meantime, Canadians’ debt continues to climb. The most frequently quoted measure of consumer debt — a ratio of debt to personal disposable income

— soared to a record high of 152.98 per cent in the third quarter. That means Canadians carry $1.53 in debt for every dollar they bring home, a fact that has drawn repeated warnings from Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney. While the larger part of that debt exists in the form of mortgages, average consumer debt excluding mortgages has also been rising steadily for six and a half years, climbing from

Although smaller than the point of a pen, this newly discovered pink diamond is the largest ever found at the mine in Australia

A natural wonder worth $4M a gram Australian 12.76-carat pink diamond the largest ever Agence France-Presse SY DN EY - Mining giant Rio Tinto said Wednesday it has unearthed a “remarkable� 12.76-carat pink diamond in Australia, the largest of the rare and precious stones ever found in the resources-rich nation. Named the Argyle Pink Jubilee, the huge rough stone was found at Rio’s pink diamond operations in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and would take 10 days to cut and polish, the company said. “This rare diamond is

generating incredible excitement,� said Josephine Johnson from Rio’s Argyle Pink Diamonds division. “A diamond of this calibre is unprecedented — it has taken 26 years of Argyle production to unearth this stone and we may never see one like this again. “The individual who gets to wear this remarkable pink diamond will be incredibly lucky indeed.� Though it would not speculate on how much the Jubilee was worth, Rio said extremely high-quality pink diamonds could fetch more than $1 million US per carat, meaning that at its weight — the equivalent of 2.552 grams — it is likely to go for at least $10 million.

British monarch, who is celebrating 60 years since her accession to the throne — her diamond jubilee. “This is the Queen’s diamond jubilee year and there is a parallel in that the Queen had a solitaire pink diamond, gifted to her — the Williamson Pink — and set in the centre of a ower brooch in the year of her coronation,â€? he said. When asked if Rio was targeting the Argyle Jubilee diamond at the Queen, the spokesman said: “Only if she is shopping for new jewelry. She will have lots of competition.â€? Rio produces more than 90 per cent of the world’s pink diamonds from the Argyle mine, and said large stones such as the Jubilee typically went to museums, were gifted to royalty or end up at prestigious auction houses like Christie’s.

Christie’s had auctioned only 18 polished pink diamonds larger than 10 carats in its 244-year history, Rio added. Soaring demand for the extremely rare jewel has seen pink diamond prices skyrocket in the past 20 years and they are now among “the most concentrated forms of wealth on Earth and well over white diamonds,� Rio said. The company describes it as an “elite and discrete� market with buyers including royalty, heads of state, celebrities and “other very wealthy individuals.� When the Jubilee diamond has been cut and polished it will be graded by international experts and showcased globally in private settings before being sold by invitation-only tender later this year.

Freedom 66 for most, poll finds JOHN MORRISSY Financial Post OTTAWA - Years of rising consumer debt are coming home to roost, forcing Canadians to rethink traditional plans to retire by age 65. Most Canadians now expect to work past 66, as only 30 per cent think they will be able to fully retire by that age, according to a poll conducted for Sun Life Financial. Debt appears to play a big role in

that equation, with 47 per cent of those surveyed saying they are worried about the debt they’ll be dealing with as retirees. And while many baby boomers have said they’ll work into their retirement years simply because they want to, the majority of those polled — 61 per cent — said they will do it because they have to. In some cases, people said they will have to work longer simply to be able to pay for basic living expenses.

“Canadian retirement expectations are changing,� said Kevin Dougherty, president of Sun Life Financial Canada. “These results are not surprising given the current economic volatility, increasing consumer debt loads, rising health-care costs, longer life expectancy and lack of planning.� At the same time, the Conservative government in Ottawa is looking to reform the retirement income system, including possibly pushing back the qualifying age for Old Age Security

to 67 from 65. Despite economists’ objections that the system is sustainable, Human Resources Minister Diane Finley insisted this week that inaction threatens future pension beneďŹ ts and that reforms will be announced in the spring federal budget. In the meantime, Canadians’ debt continues to climb. The most frequently quoted measure of consumer debt — a ratio of debt to personal disposable income

— soared to a record high of 152.98 per cent in the third quarter. That means Canadians carry $1.53 in debt for every dollar they bring home, a fact that has drawn repeated warnings from Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney. While the larger part of that debt exists in the form of mortgages, average consumer debt excluding mortgages has also been rising steadily for six and a half years, climbing from

Although smaller than the point of a pen, this newly discovered pink diamond is the largest ever found at the mine in Australia

A natural wonder worth $4M a gram Australian 12.76-carat pink diamond the largest ever Agence France-Presse

SY DN EY - Mining giant Rio Tinto said Wednesday it has unearthed a “remarkable� 12.76-carat pink diamond in Australia, the largest of the rare and precious stones ever found in the resources-rich nation. Named the Argyle Pink Jubilee, the huge rough stone was found at Rio’s pink diamond operations in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and would take 10 days to cut and polish, the company said. “This rare diamond is

generating incredible excitement,� said Josephine Johnson from Rio’s Argyle Pink Diamonds division. “A diamond of this calibre is unprecedented — it has taken 26 years of Argyle production to unearth this stone and we may never see one like this again. “The individual who gets to wear this remarkable pink diamond will be incredibly lucky indeed.� Though it would not speculate on how much the Jubilee was worth, Rio said extremely high-quality pink diamonds could fetch more than $1 million US per carat, meaning that at its weight — the equivalent of 2.552 grams — it is likely to go for at least $10 million. The light pink Argyle Jubilee is a similar colour to the 24-carat Williamson Pink given to Queen Elizabeth II as

a wedding gift that was later set into a Cartier brooch for her coronation. The Williamson, discovered in Tanzania in 1947, is ranked among the ďŹ nest pink diamonds in existence. It is the

AuctionMart has become a key advertising vehicle for our advertisers.

It’s a unique program that allows businesses to turn their inventory into advertising dollars. Advertisers simply commit goods and services to the Edmonton Journal’s online auction. The Journal promotes the items and businesses. Readers browse the items in print and online, and place their bids. The Journal keeps the bid amount, and the advertiser receives the full retail value in advertising credit for a successful bid. Basically, advertisers are receiving advertising equal to the retail value of items that they purchased wholesale. The Edmonton Journal’s achievements with the AuctionMart program have been built on the success of our advertisers.

newspaper program

Looking for a more valuable branding opportunity? The Edmonton Journal Sponsored Newspaper Program is an inspired choice. Edmonton’s most read newspaper can be labeled with your corporate brand and delivered to your target audience, providing a world of insight and a reminder of who brought it to them, right on the front page.

Sponsored Newspapers can be delivered in the following ways: 1. Delivery to households in targeted FSAs – more powerful than direct mail at a much lower investment 2. Special Events such as grand openings, festivals and sporting events 3. Distribution in high pedestrian traffic locations such as transit centres and downtown 4. Distribution at your business so you can offer your customers a complimentary copy every day

Your message can be customized with: 1. Full color stickers or post-it-notes affixed to the front of the newspaper to grab attention. An eye-catching way to promote a new product, distribute a coupon, or advertise a special event. 2. Four-page full colour wrap – the wrap will convey your message to readers. A high impact tool to promote your company.

To customize the Sponsored Newspaper Program, contact your Advertising Sales Representative or the Edmonton Journal’s Reader Sales Department.

the cappies The Journal brought the Cappies, the Critics and Awards Program for High School Theatre, to Edmonton in 2007. The Cappies program, originally established in Washington D.C. in 1999, involves high school students throughout North America. By 2011-2012, the Edmonton region chapter, governed by a nonprofit society, had registered 25 schools from Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Stony Plain and Spruce Grove. High school students are trained as critics, attend shows at other schools and write reviews, some of which are then published in The Journal’s Arts & Life section and on edmontonjournal.com. At the end of the school year, the student critics vote for awards for acting and stagecraft which are presented at a formal Cappies Gala at the Citadel Theatre. Participating critics are also eligible for awards and in past years top critics have had an opportunity to spend a week in The Journal newsroom, getting an inside peek at the daily tasks of reporters, photographers and editors and trying their hand at some critical writing of their own. In the 2011-2012 school year, nearly 200 critics will write Cappies reviews. During the gala, performers and backstage workers are recognized with nominations for Cappies awards. Teachers and directors from all the schools volunteer their time to make the program a rich learning experience for the students. And Journal marketing staff and newsroom editors helped to organize events and train teachers and critics.

news in education (NIE) Each year, more than 300 schools across northern Alberta participate in our News in Education program, a key initiative of our Reader Sales NEWSINEDUCATION Department. Teachers use the Edmonton Journal, be it the print or digital version, to teach all manner of subjects and grade levels. The newspaper, therefore, becomes a living textbook, teaching students about events happening both locally and globally. Currently, we offer 10 different resource guides to teachers to aid them in teaching newspaper-based curriculum. During special events like elections or Olympic competitions, we develop special resource guides for these events to help teachers use the newspaper to follow these events in their classrooms more closely and educate simultaneously.

edmonton journal indoor games Now in its 34rd year, this community track and field event allows children grades 3-12 the opportunity to experience the thrill of competition against themselves, and each other. Track events for girls and boys include 200m and 800m individual events, as well as 8x200m relay events. Mixed relay events are offered for small elementary and junior high schools. Long jump competitions for elementary students, a teachers’ 4x200m relay race and select individual events (like the Master’s Mile) round out the program. The Journal Indoor Games hosts over 6000 school aged athletes on an annual basis and is an event that is truly familyfriendly fun.
