Archaeology as the Canary in the Coalmine: Is the Treatment of Cultural Heritage a Barometer of Social Issues?
Kevin McGeough, Professor of Archaeology
Thursday, November 30, 2023 12:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
Despite its seemingly objective stance towards history, rooted in the analysis of material remains of past societies, archaeological interpretation is often contested and invoked to make arguments about the present. Archaeology acts, in some ways, as a metaphorical fault line in contemporary societies, upon which power and identity is negotiated through reference to past peoples and things. Because of this, how people treat cultural heritage can be used as a barometer for different kinds of political sentiments, from the rights of women and minorities to public mistrust of vaccines.

Families experiencing domestic violence & abuse often face complex challenges in rural communities. According to the Learning Network, rates of police reported intimate partner violence experienced by rural women in Canada are 75% higher than those for urban women. Rates of police-reported violent crime are 56% higher for rural women than the national rate.
Balancing “Competing” Interests: How Albertans Think About Energy Transition
Dr. Melanee Thomas, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary
Thursday, November 16, 2023 12:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
Energy transition — moving away from fossil fuels toward more renewable sources of energy — is well underway, even in Alberta. For example, Alberta will move completely away from coal-fired electricity by the end of 2023. Despite this, energy transition is sometimes presented as, and for some genuinely perceived as an “existential” threat to economic prosperity, particularly for provinces like Alberta. This presentation outlines public opinion about energy transition; knowing this helps explain and understand how and why energy transition is politicized by elite and partisan political actors.
Are Changes needed to Lethbridge’s existing Land Use Bylaw?
Ross Kilgour
Thursday, November 9, 2023 12:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
Lethbridge’s existing Land Use Bylaw has served our community since 1986. During this time, several amendments have been undertaken to this Bylaw to address market demands and resident aspirations. However, since its creation almost 40 years ago it has not undergone a comprehensive renewal. The Land Use Bylaw sets out the rules for what kind of building or activity can take place on private property and outlines the process for issuing Development Permits that give approval for new buildings and activities.
Canada Pension Plan Under Threat: How Can We Save Our Retirement Security?
Brad Lafortune, Public Interest Alberta
Thursday, November 2, 2023 12:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Take Back Alberta supporters in the United Conservative Party arguably want to take Albertans out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and substitute an “Alberta Pension Plan” (APP). Given its possible long-term effect on the lives of Albertans, this should have been one of the more important issues in the recent election campaign. Instead, the Premier refused to discuss it at all, and now the provincial government is spending more than 7.
Unethical oil and gas: Alberta’s shameful secret?
Markham Hislop
Thursday, October 26, 2023 12:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizen Organization
Arguably, Alberta’s hydrocarbons are not ethical, at least no more so than what is produced in most other oil and gas producing jurisdictions. The speaker will contend that both UCP and NDP governments have subscribed to some version of “ethical oil,” which holds that Alberta’s are some of the most environmentally responsible hydrocarbons in the world, bolstered by democratic institutions and a “world class” regulatory regime. In fact, “ethical oil” is a facade to hide the truth: that oil companies, the provincial government, and Alberta’s various energy regulators have long conspired to put profits above the public interest, with the province now potentially on the hook for hundreds of billions of dollars to clean up abandoned wells and leaking tailings ponds.

Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
Interfaith Food Bank is on the front lines of addressing food security issues in our community, and is an organization that has had to grow and adapt to the ever-evolving food security crisis in order to meet community needs.

What is the difference between donating Blood and Plasma?
Brenna Scott, Business Development Manager at Lethbridge’s Canadian Blood Services Plasma Centre
Thursday, September 28, 2023 12:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
While many have heard of donating blood, donating plasma is still a relatively next concept. Some people still believe that donating blood and plasma are one and the same, and while both have you sitting in a chair hooked up to a machine, they are different processes with different purposes. When people think of blood donation, they are typically thinking of whole blood donation. Whole blood donations include all four blood components–red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma and are used to treat blood loss, typically due to injury or surgery.
Should Bison be restored to Eastern slope public Wildlands?
Mike Judd
Thursday, September 21, 2023 12:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
For more than 130,000 years, bison roamed the ecosystems of western Canada and US and while doing so, influenced the lives of Indigenous Peoples and every other species they shared space and time with, before they were hunted to near extinction in the late 1800s. The speaker will talk about his journey to the Bob Creek Wildlands in Alberta’s foothills and finding evidence of past bison existence there, which led a group of hikers to start investigating the possibility of returning bison to this part of the Eastern slopes.

Thursday, September 14, 2023 12:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization (LSCO)
Alberta has a lot of history, but no one has pulled it together. Some say we struggled against an unfriendly land, others say we struggled against eccentric governments, and others against an always evil East. Some say we are just misplaced Americans? But are these just old comfortable sawhorses. What are the alternatives? The speaker will offer one. Speaker: Frits Pannekoek Frits Pannekoek has been Director of Historic Sites for Alberta, for 25 years and involved in over a dozen of Alberta’s heritage centers.

Will Danielle Smith Heed the Election Message Urban Voters in Alberta Sent Her?
Dr. Duane Bratt.
Thursday, June 15, 2023 6:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization (LSCO) Atrium Dining Room 500 - 11 Street South, Lethbridge, AB
The 2023 Alberta provincial election is history and the UCP won a majority government. However, their majority was reduced from 63-24 to 49-38, which included several cabinet ministers losing their seat. As expected, the UCP almost swept the rural vote where they have 37 out of 41 seats. The NDP dominated Edmonton and made strong inroads in Calgary to the point where a few thousand total votes in six ridings could have changed who formed government.

Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization (LSCO) Dining Room
Our talk is meant to help people understand the Canadian Bail System better and to explain the newest changes to the system that the government is proposing.

Are the proposed changes going to make a real difference in terms of public safety?

Vaccines, Evolution, Trust and Progress
Dr. Bryson Brown
Thursday, May 18, 2023 6:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
Histories of vaccination often begin in the late 18th century, with Dr. Edward Jenner and a milkmaid. But there was an earlier practice (variolation) in which samples of smallpox from (what were believed to be) less deadly outbreaks were used to protect patients against more severe versions of the disease. It involved either scratching material from smallpox ‘pustules’ onto the skin or inhaling it. The speaker will talk about the history of vaccination, the history of resistance to vaccination and the emergence of biological/ biochemical knowledge that has built powerful new tools for building vaccines.

Where will Progressive Conservative Albertans find Refuge?
Drs. Yale Belanger and Richard Mueller
Wednesday, April 26, 2023 6:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
Following the 2019 provincial election win by the United Conservative Party (UCP), leader Jason Kenney, became Premier of Alberta. Since then, the province has arguably been in some kind of crisis mode ranging from financial woes to COVID 19 controversy (“Best Summer Ever”) to fights with doctors, nurses and Ottawa to name a few. Adding fuel to the fire, Alberta went through a leadership change in October 2022, when Danielle Smith won the race to replace Kenney as Premier.
Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) - Track 2: A Daughter’s Perspective
Tania Stilson
Thursday, April 20, 2023 6:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
In February 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in Carter v. Canada that parts of the Criminal Code would need to change to satisfy the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The parts that prohibited medical assistance in dying would no longer be valid. The Supreme Court gave the government until June 6, 2016, to create a new law. In June 2016, the Parliament of Canada passed federal legislation, known as Bill C-14, that allows eligible Canadian adults to request medical assistance in dying.

Can Social Prescribing help improve our health and well-being challenges?
Heather Bursaw and Rob Miyashiro
Thursday, March 30, 2023 6:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
Social prescribing is a means for health-care providers to connect patients to a range of non-clinical services in the community, in order to improve their health and well-being. As opposed to simply treating symptoms, social prescribing may help to address the underlying causes of patients’ health and well-being challenges. Ideally, social prescribing is a more holistic approach to health care, which promotes community-based integrated care, and helps to de-medicalize health service provision.
Challenges of First Nation Policing
Grant Buckskin and Rayan Najjar, Police Chief and Inspector
Thursday, March 16, 2023 6:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
An on-reserve police service presents with many challenges, including funding, staffing, and retention. The First Nation members themselves face particular challenges as well as non-challenges.

Our presenters will touch on all of these issues based on their own policing experience. Speakers: Police Chief Grant Buckskin and Inspector Rayan Najjar
Are Albertans ready to move on from Governance by the NDP and UCP?
Barry Morishita
Thursday, March 9, 2023 7:00 PM
Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization
A NDP majority was elected in 2015, and then in 2019 enough people voted for the UCP to give them a majority. Elections in different jurisdictions have shown that after each opposite direction election, many voters are left hanging with no home. Recent polls have shown that the UCP is having a hard time keeping voters, but not all are ready to vote NDP, so where do they go? The speaker will contend that at some point, Albertans may become tired of the instability of this back-and-forth undoing what the previous government did, only to have that repeat in the following election.
