Did you know that the total area of St. Albert is 4,973 hectares? This and many other points of statistical interest were contained within the city’s 2014 annual report. Council signed off on the report on Monday night. Statistics were available on a myriad of topics, from crime rates to financial information to the number of people who went to the Arden Theatre last year. Here’s a sampling of some of the statistics in the report:
By Kevin Ma Staff Writer The tents are going up on Mission Hill this week as St. Albert’s Catholic schools gear up for the big finish to their 150-year birthday bash. Some 6,000 students from the Greater St. Albert Catholic school district are set to march on Mission Hill Thursday morning for a celebratory mass – the penultimate event in the district’s yearlong celebration of its 150th anniversary. “It was an education system that started very quietly and was responsible for the needs of seven orphan children at the time,” said board superintendent David Keohane. “From those humble beginnings, we’ve seen a school system grow to a size of 6,000 students in three communities.” The mass itself will be similar to the one held in 2011 for the city’s sesquicentennial, Keohane said. Archbishop Richard Smith will lead the ceremony, which will include performances by local schools. “If it’s anything like the one we did to celebrate the 150 years of St. Albert, it will be a pretty moving experience.” Expect the main-stage to go up by the ball diamond at the bottom of the hill on Wednesday. Thursday morning will see some 45 school buses converge on the hill packed with students, with hundreds more making their way to the site on foot. The event will go rain or shine, and is open to the public. The mass is from 9:45 to 11 a.m. Guests are asked to bring their own blankets or chairs to sit on, and to walk to the hill, as parking is very limited. Once the mass is done, crews will take down the stage and replace it with a big tent for Saturday’s big finish: the 150th anniversary gala, a posh event featuring formal dress, cocktails and a gourmet dinner. Tickets were about 90 per cent sold as of Wednesday, but there might be a few left by Saturday. The gala will feature a pair of auctions run by host Danny Hooper, Keohane said. Items up for bid include a lease on a new Volvo, a painting by St. Albert artist Lewis Lavoie (one that Lavoie will actually paint during the gala), a trip to the Vatican, and tickets to the Sept. 5 football match between Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish and the University of Texas Longhorns. Tickets to Notre Dame football games normally cost between $500 and $5,000 and are highly sought after, Keohane said. Proceeds from the auction will go towards the Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools Education Foundation. Visit gsacrd.ab.ca for all the details. kma@stalbert.greatwest.ca

singer-songwriter Connie Kaldor, Saskatchewan and the Canadian Prairies is more than a ‘flat place’ before the Rocky Mountains - it’s a visually stimulating, open and robust landscape full of wonder. For over three decades the Regina-born artist has re-created on record what she has experienced in life. Dubbed the ‘Queen of the Prairies’, Kaldor continues to travel around the world singing and performing original songs that reflect the people, culture and powerful presence of the Prairies. Regarded as one of Canada’s most significant contemporary folk performers, Kaldor’s original tunes blur musical boundaries by embracing elements of bluegrass, gospel, rock and country and western. Influenced by Carole King and Joni Mitchell, Kaldor’s infectious sense of humour and propensity for writing witty and whimsical tunes is equally as captivating as her songs with a more serious tone. A self-confessed prairie girl at heart, her latest album, LOVE SASK, is dedicated to the memory of her late sister as she sings about the roller-coaster ride of life and love. Residing in Montréal, Québec with her music producer husband and two sons, Kaldor is also the recipient of the Order of Canada.

Tim Tamashi�o & TOMMY B�NKS Saturday, September 19 • 7:30 pm Together for the first time on stage, passionate
and accomplished jazz musicians Tim Tamashiro and Tommy Banks perform a selection of swingin’ songs and influential hits from The Great American Songbook. Tamashiro, nightly host of CBC Radio 2’s jazz show Tonic, is recognized as one of Canada’s most engaging jazz vocalists with multiple albums and over two decades of performing experience – singing for Prime Ministers and even Queen Elizabeth II. A supporter and fierce champion of Canadian jazz talent, Tamashiro sees himself as a pathway between listeners and artists as he tirelessly works to create a community of jazz lovers through stories and music. Singing his own brand of what he describes as “drinky jazz”, Tamashiro reminds people that jazz is cool and the stage is a place for improvisation, memorable moments and fun with his audience. Making his jazz-playing debut in 1950, the legendary Banks has touched virtually every aspect of Canada’s entertainment industry. With countless appearances, accomplishments and accolades, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that Banks, also widely known as the ‘Gentlemen of Jazz’, was a professional jazz pianist by the age of 14. The former Canadian senator and national icon shows little signs of slowing down as he continues to delight audiences with his breathtaking musical skills.

SHAKESPEARE'S GLOBE ON SCREEN
THE COMEDY OF ERRORS Sunday, September 20 • 2 pm Experience Shakespeare’s Globe On Screen as part of the Arden Theatre’s new Cinema Series. From one of London’s most famous stages comes the Globe’s hilarious version of The Comedy Of Errors captured in high definition and full surround sound. Let the drama and unique magic of this historic playhouse unfold around you without having to cross the pond. Estranged twin brothers, both named Antipholus, and estranged twin servants, both named Dromio, are accidentally separated at birth, kept in ignorance of each other, and thrown into a city with a reputation for sorcery. One of Shakespeare’s most chaotic and hysterical works, all-out slapstick, mistaken identity and word-play will have audiences roaring in the aisles with laughter. A riveting performance and lively cast dressed in authentic Renaissance costumes helps bring this witty classic to life. Shakespeare’s Globe, a unique resource dedicated to the exploration of the famous playwright’s work, stands a few hundred feet from its original site where he performed many of his greatest plays centuries ago.

Saturday, September 26 • 7:30 pm With a gift for merging melody and melancholy,
Canadian pop-rock singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith has built a passionate and loyal fan following over the past two decades. A relatively late-bloomer, releasing his first self-titled debut album at the age of 30, the Juno Award-winning balladeer continues to earn critical acclaim and the admiration of major league songwriters such as Elvis Costello and Elton John. Sexsmith’s 14th and most diverse album to date, Carousel One, takes listeners on an upbeat and optimistic spin with new material that is fresh and modern, yet playful and humorous. Modest to a fault, the normally reserved artist from St. Catharines, Ontario strives for his songs to be as flawless as possible and to reflect different character traits, as he does. The result – a new collection of work that echoes the sentimentality that audiences have come to adore from Sexsmith, as well as a new-found energy and enthusiasm. With contagious songs and warm sincerity, Sexsmith has earned his place as one of Canada’s most respected musicians. Vancouver-based singer-songwriter, Joshua Hyslop, opens the evening with new music from his elegantly crafted album, Where the Mountain Meets the Valley.

dakhabrakh� Sunday, September 27 • 7:30 pm Armed with trademark sky-high lambswool hats and
deep theatrical roots, DakhaBrakha, an original quartet from Kyiv, Ukraine, has mesmerized audiences from around the world with unforgettable fresh music. Determined to create something radically different, the edgy foursome experimented with traditional Ukrainian folk music, adding in rhythms and instruments from other cultures, until they created an exotic and authentic sound unlike anything the world had ever heard before. Describing their music as “ethnochaos”, DakhaBrakha, which means ‘give-take’ in old Ukranian, warmly combines Indian, Arabic, African and Russian folk tradition and instrumentation with that of their homeland to create a powerful and international sound. With passion at the root of their energetic performances, the uncompromising and dramatic vocals of these multi-instrumentalists skillfully fused with catchy and harmonically-rich melodies, leaves audiences spell-bound as vivid images and emotional experiences are created. Since 2004, this award-winning world music group continues to reinvent their heritage with hundreds of performances across the globe.

Thursday, October 1 • 7:30 pm Radical Reels is a wildly popular, adrenaline-pumping sport film extravaganza. The crème de la crème of the 2015 Banff Mountain Film Festival competition, eight action-packed extreme sport films will showcase everything from jolting bike jumps to astonishing ice climbs. Seen through the eyes of some of today’s top athletes and most gifted adventure sport filmmakers, this highly anticipated tour is a testament to the human spirit. In All My Own Stunts, a downhill mountain bike and professional stuntman battles to stay on top after a near-fatal accident. Desert Ice features two American ice climbers as they head into the remote canyons of Utah. Meanwhile, not every Dream is what it seems in this unconventional film about a newbie kayaker. Into the Ditch features two friends as they reach break-neck speeds down a 500-foottall drainage ditch. All aboard the Little Red Bus (Petit Bus Rouge) as clowns roam free on and off of the mountainside in a wild ride packed full of thrills and spills. Switching gears, the Undead takes over the slopes as two young athletes revive the sport of SMX, a combination of mountain biking and snowboarding. In The Unrideables: Alaska Range, expert speed flyers push the limit in a massive, volatile landscape of ice and snow. Lastly, in Valley Uprising, the legendary “Stonemasters” usher in a rowdy new era of climbing in Yosemite’s climbing revolution, marked by drugs, partying, battles with authorities and some of the world’s hardest climbing.

osca� lopez Saturday, October 3 • 7:30 pm Releasing his first full solo album in nearly a decade,
this multiple Juno Award-winning guitarist’s signature style mixes fiery Latin rhythms with jazz, blues, pop and passion. A stand-out on the world music scene for over 25 years, Apasionado is considered his best album to date. While Chilean-born Lopez was encouraged by his father to play the violin and mandolin, he eventually chose the nylon-string guitar as his “soul” instrument. Beyond technical mastery, this critically-acclaimed artist continues to push the physical boundaries of his craft, mesmerizing audiences around the globe with his stunning technique. For Lopez, music is an extension of his soul and life experiences, in particular his Latin roots. In a haze of guitar glory, the long-time Calgarian still revels in the thrill of watching an album take shape. Wowing audiences with infectious rhythms, impeccable guitar work and improvisational wit, Lopez, pours his heart and soul into every song and every performance. Guitarlovers across the globe marvel at his rich music and free spirit.

TAKE A SEAT! the best seats in the house.. can be yours!
Spotlight on J1
Our daughter Jade has been a part of St. Albert Children’s Theatre since 2008. We watched with such pride as she danced around the Arden stage as a “Who” in Seussical. That feeling of pride was felt by all members of our family, especially Jade’s Grandma – Marion Simmons. She loved listening to Jade practice her songs for her SACT shows, often offering her feedback and letting Jade know when she felt she was too “pitchy”; we always got a kick out of that. Last year when Jade performed in Shrek, it was the first time she did without Grandma in the Arden audience. In Marion’s memory, we bought an Arden seat and specifically J1 for Jade and her dad John. Our family enjoyed watching Jade perform this season in A Christmas Story. We would be lying if we didn’t say we felt the spirit of Marion while we enjoyed the show. As we dedicated on the plaque – Marion, hope you are singing along. 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.
