for everything!

Message from the Mayor Immerse yourself in a kaleidoscope of art and culture at the Arden Theatre. Colourful sounds, vibrant sights, and diverse artists of all forms blend to ignite a rich season of entertainment on the Arden stage in its 2014-2015 season. Every performance, every artist, every lyric to a song, leaves each one of our patrons with a singularly unique and memorable experience, which is a truly special offering that we take pride in.

In early 2014, St. Albert was named the #1 place to live in Canada according to MoneySense magazine. One of many contributing factors to this honour is our city’s emphasis on cultural expression through the arts. For 31 years, the Arden Theatre has been at the very root of cultivating opportunities for individuals of all ages and demographics to escape into a valued world of artistic experiences. Ever-evolving musicians, dancers, and actors from around the world share their art in our theatre, engaging our audiences in unforgettable moments.

Our stage. Your experience. Thank you for giving us many occasions this season to invite you to be engaged and entertained.

Nolan Crouse Mayor, City of St. Albert, The Botanical Arts City

Message from the presenter There is nothing quite like the anticipation of waiting for a show to begin: the lights dim, a hush falls over the crowd and everyone eagerly waits for the first note of a song or the performer to appear. The energy is electric, and then the show begins...

Some of the most memorable moments of my life have taken place in performing arts venues. I delight in the cultural events that engage all of my senses and transport me to another place. I distinctly remember the performances that have had me so mesmerized I’ve forgotten to breathe, the hair on my arms stood up on end and my fingers and toes began to tingle. These are experiences that cannot be duplicated and the moments I keep in the back of my mind when programming each Arden season.

As I start to assemble each season, I think about the experiences I want you, our patrons, to have in the theatre, how each performer will engage with you, and how, for even just the briefest moments, you can escape the day-to-day hustle and bustle of life. I hope that this season you embrace all of the exciting performances we have lined up for you and allow yourself to be moved by the incredible world of art and culture at the Arden.

Little time or appetite to make the change

School site swap not very likely BY peter Boer Staff Writer A suggestion that could see St. Albert’s newest elementary school built in Kingswood instead of Erin Ridge North appears to be a non-starter.

At Monday’s city council meeting Coun.

Cam MacKay asked administration to explore an idea first put forward by council candidate Sheena Hughes – move the elementary school Cam announced by the maCkay province last month Councilor from Erin Ridge North to Kingswood, then move the francophone high school pegged for construction at Eldorado Drive to Erin Ridge North.

Such a move, said Hughes, would address concerns of Erin Ridge sheena residents about the hughes size of the high school Candidate compared to the area of the school site, and worries about heavy vehicle traffic and parking at the Eldorado site.

“I just tried to think of some kind of solution,” said Hughes. “It just occurred to me this is an alternative.”

The city doesn’t have title to the site Hughes is suggesting it explore. The land in Kingswood has long been at the centre of an ongoing dispute between developer Canterra and the city. Canterra is supposed to hand the land over to the city but will only do so if the city guarantees a high school won’t be built on the site. President Murray Brown has been previously quoted as saying high school students don’t make good neighbours. The city has said it will not issue any development permits to Canterra until it hands over the land.

This kind of swap could finally bring some peace to the ongoing dispute, Hughes said.

See “School site,” page 4

WILD WEATHER – A large storm cloud passes over a field of canola northwest of St. Albert on Monday as a stretch of cold, rainy weather finally subsides, making way for hotter temperatures this week.

City reviewing flood plain maps BY peter Boer Staff Writer

The city will have another look at its flood plain data for the sake of caution but is confident little will need to change in the wake of the province’s policy change on housing development within flood areas.

The province announced Sunday anyone who builds or rebuilds within identified 1:100 year flood plains in Alberta will not qualify for disaster relief in the event of a flood. The changes come on the heels of massive flooding last month in southern Alberta that has left many homes uninhabitable.

Stephen Khan, St. Albert’s

MLA, confirmed Thursday that policy change is province wide, not just for those areas that recently flooded.

“The premier is very clear that the policy is not just for the area in southern Alberta.

It’s a policy for all of Alberta moving into the future,” Khan said.

But city officials maintain the policy change should have very little impact on St. Albert. As the rules currently stand, building anything in St. Albert’s flood plain is forbidden.

“It’s pretty clear in the land use bylaw that it is prohibited,” said Carol Bergum, the city’s senior long-range planner. It does allow for some structures such as util-

ity infrastructure or temporary outdoor shelters, but that’s about all, she added.

Bergum said the city is looking at its flood plain mapping

and also reviewing maps in the province’s possession to make sure both are as up to date as possible.

See “Flood plan,” page 4

ApRIL BARtLEtt/St. Albert Gazette

WATER WORRIES – The RiverHouse Restaurant and several other buildings in that area are described as below the flood line.

The city says no other flood risk areas exist in St. Albert.

shimmy & shake family dance party Sunday, November 9 & Sunday, March 8 1 – 4 PM

Without fail, children are the first ones on the dance floor for birthdays, weddings, and really any occasion. We felt we’d put this theory to the test and create a dance party just for kids.

With a DJ playing a variety of great pop songs, complemented by lighting that is reminiscent of an evening dance, we hope we’ve created the right atmosphere for kids to have a blast and dance the afternoon away. A perfect outing for your child’s birthday activity, Shimmy & Shake Family Dance Party is a great way to let loose and have fun. Don’t worry parents, we’ve thought about you too... there will be seating available and a space to relax if you don’t feel like cuttin’ a rug with the kids.

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia presents

stella, queen of the snow

Sunday, February 15 \ 2 PM

From the page to the stage, Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia has taken the award-winning beloved children’s book, Stella Queen of the Snow by Marie-Louise Gay, and adapted it into a whimsical world of puppet theatre.

The story centres around two imaginative children, Stella and Sam, who spend a glorious day playing in the snow and discovering the magic and mystery of winter. Set to fanciful music, a charming winter backdrop and striking scenic effects, Sam and Stella make snowballs, snow angels, go on sled rides, and discover the enchantment of this white stuff called snow.

Mermaid Theatre is an acclaimed family theatre group known for their incredible puppet stage shows. The Arden is excited to welcome them back to present their newest production.

TaKe a SeaT! Spotlight

on H32 & H33 When the Arden Theatre installed new theatre seating in 2011, Janice Eglinski was one of the first people to sponsor a seat in the Arden’s seat campaign.

Janice chose seat P41, located at the end of the very back row. Everyone has their favourite seat, but what’s the story behind P41?

The best seats in the house . . . can be yours!

Janice made her donation in memory of her sister, Debbie Jamieson who passed away in 2006.

Debbie taught for many years in St. Albert at Bellerose Composite, Lorne Akins, W.D. Cuts, Paul Kane and Memorial Composite High in Stony Plain. She touched many hearts and positively influenced countless students with her spirit and care. Debbie had a reputation for staging lavish musical productions and holding auditions where everyone won a part. Rehearsals began in September for February shows and her students learned that everyone had a place and it was okay to be different.

A memorial seat at the Arden, the seat where Debbie used to sit during rehearsals, was a good fit for Janice because her sister was passionate about the arts, especially drama and music.

“Deb was a bright light who attracted students as a teacher, mentor and friend”, says Janice.

The plaque on the armrest of P41 reads: “The show must go on. Remembering Debbie Jamieson.”

Debbie’s motto was: no waiting around – live life for today.

What are YOU waiting for?

Put your name on your favourite seat or give a unique gift to mark a special occasion, promote your business or make a memorial tribute – the possibilities are endless.

Centre Stage: $1000 | Spotlight: $500 | Footlights: $250 Your benefit – eligible seat donations will be recognized with: An engraved armrest plaque; A tax receipt; and You’ll be able to purchase your seat for any show in the 2014-2015 Professional Series during an exclusive pre-sale* at the Arden Theatre Box Office.

For more information or to select your seat, contact Sandra Moloney at (780) 459-1694 or smoloney@stalbert.ca. Seating map available at ardentheatre.com.
