- Abstract
- "Surveying the 120th Meridian and the Great Divide is the second book of a two-part series describing the initial Alberta/BC boundary survey undertaken between 1913-1924. Surveying the 120th Meridian focuses on the years 1918–1924, when the Alberta crew continued the survey of the 120th meridian while the BC crew split off to continue mapping the Great (Continental) Divide. The Alberta/BC boundary survey was a unique Canadian project that combined talented surveyors, high-tech surveying equipment, rugged crew members and Canadian wilderness. This is a story of adventure and danger: the crew climbed mountains and surveyed from the peaks of the Canadian Rockies; slogged through the muskeg north of the Peace River; occasionally crossed rivers at high water; and often worked in the rain, snow or cold. The boundary survey produced the first detailed maps of the terrain along the divide and the first pictures of the northern Canadian Rockies taken from an airplane. But the most important legacy of this project is the collection of approximately 5,000 photographs developed from high-quality glass plate negatives. These photographs provide full panoramas of the Rocky Mountain landscape as it looked over a century ago. Surveying the 120th Meridian and the Great Divide combines the best of these photographs, diary entries and government documents to recount the astonishing journey of the surveyors and their crew members as they explored Canada’s most dramatic landscape."-- Provided by publisher.

- Abstract
- In August 2016, a group of about 40 residents as well as a couple of county councillors met at the Eagle Valley Community Hall to discuss the process of creating a new area structure plan under the oversight of a steering committee. The result of that meeting was a consensus to create a working group to provide the county with input as well as to help officials “understand who we are as a community, the commitment that we have to the land we live on, and our heritage, cultural and social resources that are in the community,”.Five volunteers — Anne Macklin, Lynne Henry, Douglas McCullough, Bill Souster and Greif — formed the Eagle Valley Working Group, which is not affiliated with any recognized societies already in the region. Over the following six months, a questionnaire was formulated to glean information from the community’s residents. A summary of the survey’s results was then discussed during a meeting held at the Sundre Petroleum Operators Group’s office this past January. When the process started, a number of important stakeholders in terms of working relationships were identified, such as the oil and gas industry, social services including Greenwood Neighbourhood Place as well as the Town of Sundre. So following January’s meeting, the working group was tasked with preparing the legacy document. Included within its pages is information about Eagle Valley’s climate, oil and gas sector, geology, as well as infrastructure issues such as roads, wastewater, water, parks and recreation. A copy of the book, is available for sale at the Sundre Municipal Library. (Summarized from Mountainview Today article - website)

- Abstract
- The Banff Hot Springs is an iconic location with a long and storied history, having been first found and used by indigenous peoples. In 1883, Canadian Pacific Railway workers found the springs, which led to the development of Banff National Park and tourism in the Canadian Rockies. But the geologic history encompassed in the rocks of the Banff area extends back more than a billion years. In Understanding the Banff Hot Springs through Karst Hydrogeology, Chas Yonge looks at the Banff Hot Spring system from a new perspective: that of karst. Karst landforms are created by dissolution of rock, which leads to some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. This karst perspective leads to some very different conclusions regarding the nature of the hot springs. For example: How old is the thermal water? How far has it travlled underground? And how extensive are its pathways? Anyone with an interest in the science behind the Banff Hot Springs and exploring the local geology and landscape of the Canadian Rockies will find this book the perfect answer to their curiousity. Featuring a foreword by Arthur N. Palmer, Professor of Hydrogeology, Emeritus, at State University of New York. As of a few years ago, Chas Yonge was the former owner and operator of Canmore Cave Tours, offering interpretive tours underground. He has been an enthusiastic caver for almost 50 years, taking him all over the world. Since earning a PhD in karst paleoclimatology, he has applied isotope studies to karst, culminating in a number of publications. He has been an adjunct professor at the University of Calgary and is currently a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society. (From Amazon website)
