Fabian Society

  • Instelling
  • 1884-

The Fabian Society was founded in Britain in 1884, as a progressive movement characterised by a commitment to social justice, and increased equality in society. Many notable left-wing thinkers wrote tracts published by the Society, on topics relating to child labour, women’s suffrage, old age pension (1897), and working conditions; as well as encouraging democratic socialism and change through local government and trade unionism. Fabian pamphlets first proposed a national health service (1911), minimum wage (1906), and the Society is credited with helping to establish the modern welfare state. Its members played a role in the formation of the British Labour Party in 1900; and were also involved in the creation of The New Statesman, and the London School of Economics, founded initially as a “research institute to provide proof positive of the collectivist ideal.”

Wolseley Hockey Club Special (train car)

  • Instelling
  • [19-?]

In this era, when a hockey team had to travel to a nearby town for a game, a passenger car was ordered from the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). It would arrive in the late afternoon to load the team and its fans. The car would be left at the destination (in this case, the near-by town of Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan) and the railway would arrange to pick the car up later in the evening to take the group home. The car would be equipped with a pot-bellied stove for warmth.

University of Saskatchewan - Kirk Hall√

  • 1949-present

School of Agriculture Building > Kirk Hall
The School of Agriculture Building was one of the three structures built between 1948 and 1949 that made up what was called the “Agriculture group” of buildings. Along with the Virus Laboratory and the Soils and Dairy Laboratories, the School of Agriculture was a flat-roofed yellow brick structure. The three-storey building, designed by Portnall & Stock and built at a cost of $600,000, contained enough bedrooms for every student in the school, common rooms, an auditorium, and a cafeteria. The building was renamed in 1962 for Dr. L. E. Kirk, former Dean of Agriculture, who is best known for his pioneering efforts in forage crop breeding and genetics. The School of Agriculture moved into the College of Agriculture Building in 1991. Kirk Hall is presently home to the offices of Vice-President Research, Extension Division and University Advancement.

Canadian Pacific Air Lines (CP Air)

  • Instelling
  • 1942-2000

Having been renamed CP Air in 1968 with a new orange livery, the airline in 1986 reverted to its original name, Canadian Pacific Air Lines, with a new navy blue colour scheme and logo. This occurred shortly after the airline had taken over operations of Eastern Provincial Airways.
This new incarnation, however, was short-lived. Less than a year later, in 1987, Canadian Pacific Air Lines was sold, along with Quebec's Nordair, to Calgary-based Pacific Western Airlines (PWA) for $300 million. PWA assumed the airline's debt of $600 million. In April 1987, PWA announced that the new name of the merged airline would be Canadian Airlines International. In 2000, Canadian Airlines was taken over by and merged into Air Canada.
