Festival attendees described community, family time and the event’s welcoming atmosphere as central to the experience. The festival has about 2,600 volunteers who help with setup, hospitality and patron services.
Ranchers and residents in central Alberta are concerned about the volume of water used for fracking during years of dry weather and drought. They are also concerned that companies are seeking fresh groundwater from the same source as drinking-water wells. The Blindman River Watershed Society was formed after Lloyd Creek, a tributary of the Blindman River, dried up three years ago.
This year’s theme is “The Spirit That Continues To Teach.” Organizers say attendees can learn about cultural protocols, traditional crafts, language, land-based skills and ceremony.

Listings are read from the calendars the venues, the City, the library, the campuses and the meetup groups publish themselves, and every row links to its source. Rooms that sell only through Ticketmaster and publish no listing of their own — the Jubilee, the Midway — appear only when another calendar carries them. Times are as the source published them.
