SUMMARY:Good Grief - Winter 2026 (8-week program): Tuesdays
DESCRIPTION:Good Grief: Nature Walking Through Grief and Loss — Winter 2026\nThanks to a long-standing partnership with Mount Royal University Professor Sonya Jakubec\, Good Grief: Nature Walking Through Grief and Loss will be offered in Winter 2026. This program is aimed at providing support to those experiencing grief\, loss or major life transition.  \nThis eight-week program simply provides an opportunity for participants to connect with nature while connecting with others who share similar experiences. Although not a grief therapy program\, Good Grief may provide valuable connection and healing for both participants and volunteer companions. Companions are not providing counseling or therapy; they simply share a common goal of connecting with nature as a place of refuge in acceptance of our journeys of life transition.  \nRegardless of the transition you are experiencing – be it the loss of a loved one\, job or relationship\, a significant change in health or mobility\, or other deep changes in your life – spending time in nature with people who are on a similar journey might be just the support you need. \nWe invite you to come walk with us.  \nOur Winter Good Grief program runs from January to March 2026\, with walks starting at the Bow Valley Ranch Visitor Centre. \nYou can register for two different streams – Tuesdays or Sundays. Each stream takes place weekly for eight weeks on the day of your choosing. To register for Tuesdays or Sundays\, choose the start date of your preferred session and proceed to checkout. \nTuesdays: January 13 to March 3 \nSundays: January 18 to March 8 \nTime (both streams): 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. \nRegistration required. Outings will run in a variety of weather conditions but may be canceled if severe weather is in the forecast. Participants are encouraged to dress in layers. \nFriends’ Member price: $20 for 8 weeks sessionNon-Member price: $30 for 8 weeks session \nRegister Here \nTo become a member\, please click here. \nEach outing will begin with a reading or a shared experience\, followed by a walk on a fairly easy 1.5-2 km route. Each of the four routes will be repeated once during the eight-week program – a chance to reflect on the changes in the landscape and ourselves over time. Time\, nature and low pressure companionship can be our best supports. \nSpace is limited to 15 people per session.Please note that we may cancel the session if registrations are less than 7 people. \nIf you would like to learn more about the Good Grief program or discuss the program goals and discoveries from previous Good Grief programs\, please feel free to contact Sonya Jakubec\, our partner at Mount Royal at sjakubec@mtroyal.ca. Inquiries regarding program accessibility can be directed to Rose Ratliffe\, Friends of Fish Creek Volunteer Companion at ratliffe@shaw.ca. \nThank you to our Partners and Volunteers for keeping the Good Grief program going! Proceeds support the Friends of Fish Creek’s ongoing efforts to engage the public in responsible stewardship of Fish Creek Provincial Park.

SUMMARY:Fish Creek Speaker Series - Construction Opening Geological Windows
DESCRIPTION:Speaker Series – Construction Opening Geological Windows: The Historical Resources Act in Action \n\n\n\nPresented by Jon Noad \n\n\n\nNew geological exposures created by ongoing pipeline\, dam and other construction activities have opened windows into Alberta’s geological past. Fossils ranging from dinosaurs and mammals to exotic plants shed light on ancient life\, while the sedimentary rocks and structural geology reveal ancient environments and record the uplift of the Rocky Mountains. \n\n\n\nThe Historical Resources Act ensures that any cultural items\, including archaeological and palaeontological finds made in Alberta\, are protected by law. The resulting monitoring of ongoing construction in our city has exposed unique geology and fossils that tell us about the ancient history of our province. Selected case studies will be used to demonstrate some of these extraordinary finds\, ranging from dinosaurs to ancient mammals and many plants and invertebrates. In addition\, sedimentary structures can be used to reconstruct ancient environments\, while faulting and folding reveal how our province has evolved through geological time. \n\n\n\nAbout the presenter \n\n\n\nJon Noad graduated in 1985 and started working as a mining geologist in South Africa. He returned to the UK to work in marine cable laying and completed a Masters in Sedimentology in Dinosaur Provincial Park. This led to a full time PhD\, working in eastern Borneo\, after which he joined Shell International working Middle East exploration and in several production roles. He moved to Shell Canada in Calgary in 2006\, followed by senior geoscience roles at several major oil companies. \n\n\n\nSince 2017 he has run many field trips\, core logging courses and has taught at two universities. He joined Stantec as a qualified Palaeontologist in 2022 and now undertakes site monitoring for new pipelines and construction projects. \n
