1984 was a pivotal year for the ISCWR and all member Courts of the ICS as the AIDS epidemic began to ravage gay communities. Mainstream society was reluctant to fund research and care for those afflicted. Seeing the need to assist research and compassion programs in Edmonton, the ISCWR began raising money. In the latest #ECAMP story, Ron Byers takes us on a journey exploring the first twenty-five years of the Imperial Sovereign Court of the Wild Rose, Alberta’s longest continually running LGBTQ2S+ organization. The ISCWR sought to bring together communities and promote equality for all. Check it out today and remember to check out part 2 from author Rob Browatzke next week! #yegheritage

After 16 years of teaching in the public-school system, Anderson was able to open the Dr. Anne Anderson Native Heritage and Cultural Centre in 1984. The centre quickly became a vital community hub Check out the latest #ECAMP story by Bruce Cinnamon, The ‘Grand Lady of the Métis:’ Dr. Anne Anderson’s Mission to Preserve the Cree Language, following Dr. Anne Anderson and her Cree language preservation efforts. From a newspaper ad that reached her first 50 students to over 100 publications to her name, Dr. Anderson was remarkable to say the least. Give it a read and learn a few Cree words along the way. #yegheritage https://citymuseumedmonton.ca//the-grand-lady-of-the-meti/

Many hands and hearts contributed to the development of the virtual exhibit Armistice 100: Edmonton & the First World War, now available on the ECAMP website. Incorporating content from two previous in-person events, this online experience combines the work of media professionals (including Patton Communications, Geffen Media, Back Road Productions), historians and archivists (including Adriana A. Davies, Heather Kerr of the City of Edmonton, and ECAMP's own Christina Hardie), and the general public through the Memory Wall, which lives on as a permanent online feature. Features include Edmonton Soldier Stories, a detailed journal of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, and a section on Local Connections. https://citymuseumedmonton.ca/exhibits/armistice-100/

As we near Remembrance Day, please visit the new online ECAMP exhibit Armistice 100: Edmonton & the First World War. Content included in this exhibit was originally created for two in-person events held in Edmonton: the 100th anniversaries of the Battle of Vimy Ridge held on April 9, 2017, and the end of the First World War (Armistice) on November 11, 2018.
