Question 62046 asked on 2009-09-02 07:00:23: Re: CPR railway station in Medicine Hat I live in Edmonton. Last November members of my family attended a funeral of Rev Walter Krewski, my brother and a former priest and resident of Medicine Hat. As I was showing parts of the city to several members of my family from BC, my nephew from Trail BC was so interested in the railway station. He has been a long time CPR employee. I took a number of photographs of the station and only had a chance recently to give them to him. He was absolutely excited to see the pictures and asked me when the station was actually built. Could you provide me with the date or sources where I might determine some of the station's history. Many thanks. Bernie Krewski
Question 62080 asked on 2009-09-03 09:51:21: Comments: Dear Red Deer Public Library, I'm an historian at the University of Saskatchewan working on a history of attitudes towards eugenics in Alberta and Saskatchewan from roughly 1920 to 1975.

Question 62439 asked on 2009-09-15 22:51:25: In the late 1980's or early 90's, the production of Calgary Beer was discontinued at the Calgary Brewery. This happened BEFORE the brewery was shut down in 1994. Apparently there was a ceremony conducted by the brewery where Mary Cross, a daughter of A.E. Cross, was in attendance. Carling O'Keefe owned the brewery until 1989, when Molson, through its aquisition of Carling, took it over. I am trying to find out whether the ceremony was held while Carling still owned the brewery, or whether the beer was dropped after Molson had acquired it. I beleive there was a contractual agreement between the parties involved when the brewery was first sold in 1961, that the Calgary brand was never to be dropped. It did of course disappear from the Alberta market, but strangely enough, it has been available in Saskatchewan ever since. Again, could you please help me in determining which brewer ceased producing the Calgary brand here in town. Thank you. [name deleted]

I am an ESL LINC4 teacher of adult immigrants and was inspired at our recent conference to consider teaching an unabridged novel to my students. This was tried successfully at a school in Edmonton and greatly enhanced the students learning and confidence. My question is this: Since I know you have book club materials available at the Calgary Public Libraries, is it possible to borrow 21 copies of Tuck Everlasting or To Kill a Mockingbird for my class. Most if not all do have library cards. Also, do you have the movies available for either of these novels and do you happen to have a recorded audio version for them to listen to? The last question: would it be possible to borrow such materials for an extended period - perhaps double the usual lending period or even longer if necessary? Thank you for your time.

Question 69163 asked on 2010-02-03 18:33:50: Hi: I asked if you knew where to go to access flexible wire... I was sent to Michael's! Heh, I have searched every store remoting resembling fabric and crafts in Calgary. I have searched the internet for hours, under flexible wire, millinery supplies, shaping wire, boning, reshaping wire, hat making, craft wire, memory wire, sewing notions, and tailoring supplies. I understand that I am in the craft world. I just wondered if you had any suggestions about other sources of information/resources that would assist my search. Warmly Margery Knorr

Question 69192 asked on 2010-02-04 08:09:27: I have a reference question that you may be able to help me with. A library patron is looking for a book about Canada… not the tourist type of book but more about, as he says, “how Canada is better than the United States” which, knowing this fellow as I do, means “more politically ‘left’ than the US.” He is a Quaker and greatly admired Canada for “taking in the draft resisters” in the Viet Nam era. He is worried about the apparent “rightward” drift but still thinks Canada is a “better place.” I'm writing from the Princeton Public Library in Princeton NJ, USA but my parents live in Calgary. Thank you.
