Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History: We Can Judge People from the Past
2025-05-22 19:00 - 20:30 | The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland, 750 9 Avenue Southeast, Calgary, Alberta, T2G 5E1, Canada
Can we judge past individuals by today’s moral standards? It’s often argued that it’s unfair to apply modern standards to historical figures. However, the spectrum of moral beliefs is often present regardless of what was socially accepted at the time. Current “woke” moral standards aren’t revolutionary; they’ve been present throughout human history.
Historically, it is rare for those in power to make significant and complex decisions in a moral vacuum. Most historical figures knew the full picture and had the necessary information to make moral decisions that left a long-lasting impact. It comes down to the power a person holds, their capacity for good, and their ability to choose what do to with information available to them. So yes, we can judge people from the past for their lack of moral consideration when they made decisions that negatively contributed to the state of society today.
This May at Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History, city councillor and educator Courtney Walcott will explore why we should judge complex figures from our past by current moral standards. Courtney will examine how morals have been shaped over time, who defines them, who benefits from them, and how when history turns to myth and memorial, such as the complex story of the Famous Five, we give away our own capacity to learn from complex histories and reflect on the legacies of our own choices today.

What Makes a Provincial Heritage Site?
2025-05-23 18:30 - 20:00 | The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland, 750 9 Avenue Southeast, Calgary, Alberta, T2G 5E1, Canada
Have you ever wondered how a building becomes a designation heritage site in Alberta? Enjoy an evening learning about heritage sites and the issues facing them with Allan Rowe and Stefan Cieslik from the Historic Resources Management Branch of the Government of Alberta.
Since 1975, the Government of Alberta has designated nearly 400 sites as Provincial Historic Resources, ensuring that they will be protected for future generations of Albertans. While these include paleontological, archaeological and natural history sites, most designated resources are buildings, ranging from grand, iconic structures like the Alberta Legislature to modest working-class homes built in the early 1900s. Taken together, these Provincial Historic Resources reflect the wide range of Alberta’s social, political, economic and cultural history.
In this talk, Rowe and Cieslik will provide an overview of Provincial Historic Resource designation – how sites are chosen for consideration, how they are evaluated, and how they are conserved. The talk will highlight case studies from Calgary and southern Alberta to illustrate how staff from the Branch collaborate with building owners and other stakeholders to ensure long-term protection of Alberta’s important historic resources. A Q&A will close out the evening, giving you the chance to ask Rowe and Cieslik your burning questions about heritage sites and historic conservation.

A New Life on the Land: Jewish Farmers in Canada - Film Screening

Wednesday, May 28, 2025
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Location: Railway Orientation Centre
Film Duration: 56 minutes
Genre & Year: 1945-1953 – Montreal Jewish Memories Post-War
Directed by: Dov Okouneff (Canada, 2023)
Price: RSVP for FREE (Admission is free however, pre-registration is required)
This screening is proudly presented in partnership with the Jewish Historical Society of Southern Alberta.
In this film screening, discover the incredible journey of Jewish pioneers who cultivated not only the land but also a lasting legacy in Canada. Through the voices of early settlers, their children and grandchildren, this compelling documentary tells the story of resilience, determination and community.
Escaping poverty and oppression in Eastern Europe, these settlers braved harsh winters in underground shelters, battled locust swarms and worked tirelessly to transform the land into thriving farms. Jewish women played a pivotal role in building vibrant communities, establishing schools, synagogues and cultural traditions that endure to this day. From the Prairie homesteads to Quebec and Ontario, the film explores the evolution of Jewish agriculture—from runaway oxen in 1900 to today’s award-winning dairy farms and organic produce.
The film pays homage to the legacy of Baron Maurice de Hirsch and his wife Clara, whose Jewish Colonization Association (JCA) played a vital role in helping Jewish immigrants establish farms and businesses, ensuring they could build prosperous lives in their new homeland.
