Our goal is to create a well supervised, safe environment for your child to grow and forge wholesome friendships. We seek to foster a nurturing, child-friendly and developmentally appropriate atmosphere. It is our conviction that when children are “playing”, they are indeed “learning”. Therefore, classroom routines encourage active involvement, meaningful experimentation and reinforcement through repetition. Schedules are designed to balance free play, such as blocks, play dough, “let’s pretend” play, paint, etc. and structured play such as stories, songs, crafts, worksheets and games. In this way the stage is set for a child’s life-long journey of discovering the workings and wonders of God’s world.

Highway 27, Olds Sculpture Pathway
‘Olds’ Rocks
Carving out a Legacy
Creation of an art walk to extend from the Cornerstone Art Commons provides an attraction to distinguish Olds. The initial project is the sculpture pathway showcasing the placement of art pieces from the Bergen Rocks collection. The ‘Olds’ Rocks display draws attention to Olds with a distinctive memory for travellers passing through while also promoting a reason to come off QEII to see the display and even have people make trips to Olds to experience these unique works of art.
Creation of an Art Walk
Public art is essential to the healthy growth of a community. It creates a vibrant sense of place and contributes to a community’s reputation and identity for both residents and visitors. Art provides people with the opportunity for the exchange of ideas and expression.
Public Art
The intention of exhibiting Bergen Rocks sculptures in Olds is to extend the vibrant art culture of the Olds community in a high profile area for local residents and visitors to enjoy. The Highway 27 Sculpture Pathway will draw positive attention to the Olds community.
Town Staff worked with the curator of Bergen Rocks on what pieces would be available to us while maintaining an exhibit at the Bergen site.
The intention was to exhibit Bergen Rocks sculptures in Olds, extending the vibrant culture of the Olds Community in a high profile area for both residents and visitors to enjoy.
Professional sculptors from around the world came to stay and create sculptures at Morton Burke’s farm near Bergen, Alberta.
Exhibiting Bergen Rocks in Olds is a concept the Town had been developing over a number of years, refining it to fit within our plans for growth and development. The Bergen Rocks originated from International sculpture symposiums held throughout the summers of 2008 to 2010.
How the Pathway came to be...
To get to the Bergen Rocks Sculpture Park, from A&W in Sundre turn right and go 6.4km to Pioneer Lodge Road (township road 32) turn right and go 1.6km to range road 5.4 Turn left and go ½ km to the second driveway on the right.
Directions :
Bergen Rocks Story Creator: Morton Burke, Sculptor/Event Coordinator After participating in sculpture symposia in other countries, Bergen Artist, Morton Burke felt that the events were something we should be hosting here in Alberta. Over a 5 year period he was unable to convince a community to take up his idea so he decided to go ahead and do it himself at his acreage in Bergen. He was quite sure that although the pomp and ceremony that is normal at these events in other countries would be absent, the grassroots nature of his concept would be interesting enough to attract sculptors from around the world. The first year 19 of 20 friends said they would love to create sculptures at his acreage so he drew 5 names from a hat. In its fourth year 178 proposals for participation were received! The participants stay together in his home during the month long event and work each day except Tuesdays when they take time to see other Alberta sights.

Country: Thailand Artist: Peerapong Doungkaew ‘Rising Sun’ is Peerapong’s second sculpture and was inspired by his first time at Bergen Rocks. When he woke in the morning in Bergen he would see the sun rising over the tree tops to the east between the two trees where the sculpture was place. It was interesting that Peerapong chose the location based on his memory on the sun rise each morning.
‘Rising Sun’
Country: Vietnam Artist: Pham Minh Chien This sculpture is the first in a series of four, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. It depicts a flower in the spring that is ready to bloom and reproduce. It can also be viewed as the lower torso of a young lady, like the flower, ready to bloom and fruitful. This feature is referred to a :dual representational”.
‘Spring’
‘Spring’
Country: China Artist: Gang Chu Chu did not intend for ‘Spring’ to make statement or have an interpretation. It is simply an interesting form depicting something we are all familiar with. A jazz musician playing his instrument.
Watch the video at
Country: Cuba Artist: Carlos Valaquez Darias In a predominately cubic style this sculpture depicts a couple sharing a kiss.
‘Prelude’
Country: Vietnam Artist: Tran Viet Hung The stylized figure balanced on the top of the column represents a family. The largest form is the man, recessed in the man is a woman with hair flowing down her back. The negative space represents a baby. Hung’s statement about this sculpture: “Family is a good balance for your life.”
‘Yin and Yang’
Country: Kenya Artist: Gerald Motondi ‘Desire to Be’ represents an aspiration to change from one’s present status. All humans of whatever status have a desire to be. Thus, successful people from the top look down to the common man’s life and desire the simplicity in it, while the simple or common man looks up and desires a life filled with material ownership and fame.
‘Desire To Be’
www.olds.ca
Country: Ireland Artist: Paul Patrick Haggins The celtic cross is the reference to Ireland and the feather on the shaft speaks to ancient cultures of Canada. On one corner near the bottom are several horizontal marks. These are letters that spell Canada in an extinct language called ogham that was used in ancient Ireland. Negative spaces in the cross are called lights. If a cross has lights it must be placed so that the faces of the cross point east and west.
‘Ancient Cultures’
Country: Vietnam Artist: Nguyen Tan Cuong There are many problems in the world that man has created such as wars, drugs, pollution and discrimination. Now the world is a smaller place and we interact more than ever, we aren’t doing the best job of that. If everyone made a small change, the world could be a better place. It doesn’t need big change, only a small one like the pearl of wisdom in the palm of the hand.
‘Maintain’
Country: Canada Artist: Tony Deguglielmo Canuck is a beautifully stylized portrait of an Iroquois man. The style transitions from organic on the left (the face) to cubic on the right (the head dress). In addition to being a beautiful form this transition speaks to the transition of life in Canada since the Europeans came to Canada;

There’s a new face to be found ‘all over’ town!
The Town of Olds is very excited to introduce you to Oliver Olds! Though Oliver has been spotted ‘all over’ Olds for a while now, we felt it was time for his official introduction. This very popular and fun loving owl is the Town of Olds Official Mascot, and was named Oliver Olds as he can be found ‘All Over Olds!’ Keep your eyes peeled for Oliver as he enjoys entertaining people and making them smile! You may find him at special events, Great Neighbourhood programs, hanging around Town of Olds facilities, and of course splashing his happy face on social media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
