The Flood of 2013
The Flood of 2013 chronicles an unforgettable summer of angry rivers, unprecedented flooding and undeniable human spirit. This book looks at how the disaster irrevocably changed southern Alberta and its people. In the face of disaster, Albertans showed their true grit and rose above adversity—just like their ancestors did for generations before them. The flood began in southern Alberta on June 20 and led to four deaths, billions of dollars in damage and more than 100,000 people fleeing their homes to escape raging waters. More than eighty Herald journalists—photographers, writers, editors, videographers, researchers and digital producers—became involved in narrating the tale of the flood. Using their words and images, this stunning volume captures not only the devastation and destruction of the flood but also the emergence of heroes and heartfelt moments. Neighbours helped neighbours. Strangers helped strangers. And Albertans vowed to recover, come hell or high water.
Alberta's Centennial, a Celebration!
In 2005, Albertans had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kick up their heels and celebrate a century of accomplishment as a people and a province. And they did it spectacularly. In hundreds of communities - from Fort Chipewyan to Granum, Bonnyville to Grande Prairie - Albertans caught the Centennial spirit and put on a year-long party to remember. They welcomed the Queen, wrote songs, raised funds for charity, relived history, watched fireworks, created magnificent legacies, left stirring messages for future generations - and ate lots of birthday cake - in cities, towns, hamlets and schools across the province. Alberta's Centennial - a Celebration! captures the people of Alberta in photos, video and in their own words as they joined family, friends and neighbours to honour their province's 100th birthday. From family reunions, homecomings and fairs, to parades, plays and picnics, this book and accompanying DVD present a loving portrait of Albertans at their proudest, most creative and most joyful.
