Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture

Notice of Intention to Designate a Provincial Historic Resource

(Historical Resources Act)

File: Des. 1857

Notice is hereby given that sixty days from the date of service of this Notice and its

publication in Alberta Gazette, the Minister of Tourism, Parks, Recreation and

Culture intends to make an Order that the site known as the:

Canadian Northern Railway Station, together with the land legally described as:

Plan 062 4021, Block X, Lot 4

Excepting thereout all mines and minerals.

Area: 0.842 hectares (2.08 acres) more or less

and municipally located at 4407 - 47 Avenue in the Town of Camrose, Alberta be

designated as a PROVINCIAL HISTORIC RESOURCE under

Section 20 of the

HISTORICAL RESOURCES ACT, R.S.A. 2000 C. H-9.

The reasons for the designation are as follows: The heritage value of the Canadian

Northern Railway Station lies in its architectural significance as one of the oldest and

finest examples of a Third Class, Plan 100-29 railway station in Alberta. It also

possesses heritage value as a symbol of the essential role of railways in opening the

province to settlement and agriculture.

In 1911, the Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR) constructed a "Third Class" station

in Camrose according to the company's Plan 100-29. Plan 100-29 was the third of

four "Third Class" station designs developed for the CNoR by influential architect

Ralph Benjamin Pratt. Each of the "Third Class" stations designed by Pratt was

distinguished by its hip roof - a unique feature that immediately branded the stations

as CNoR constructions. The main floor of the building accommodated a waiting

room and office, while the upper level contained living quarters for the stationmaster.

The station also possessed a sizable, single storey wing that served as a baggage area.

Initially, the building featured a shingled exterior as per CNoR architectural plans. In

1918, the Canadian Northern Railway was amalgamated into the Canadian National

Railway (CNR); in 1937, the CNR stuccoed the exterior - a common practice by the

company to standardize the appearance of its stations, some of which it had absorbed

from the defunct Canadian Northern Railway and Grand Trunk Pacific Railway

companies. Two separate ancillary buildings - a tool shed and a workingman's shed -

were moved to the site in the early 1920s; they are consistent with the types of

outbuildings constructed by the CNR during this period.

With the gradual disappearance of early train stations from Alberta's communities,

buildings like the Canadian Northern Railway Station at Camrose have gained

increased historic significance as structural reminders of the essential role that the

railways played in establishing settlement and agricultural economy in the province.

It is therefore considered that the preservation and protection of the resource is in the

public interest.

Dated this 9th day of March, A.D. 2007.

John Kristensen, Assistant Deputy Minister.

Section 222(1)(ii) provides that General Council, after consultation with the Minister, may make,

amend, or repeal General Council Policies "respecting the internal management and affairs of the

General Council including

(

v) the process and procedure for considering and voting on resolutions and policies,

including public notice and consultation with Settlement members."

Once passed, Policies shall be indexed and numbered in ascending order with the following format:

GCP 2006/01, with the first four numbers in the heading representing the year in which the Policy is

passed.

The first signed copy shall be kept in General Council's central records system. The second signed

Minister, or 90 days have passed since the proposed Policy was received by the Minister, the third

signed copy shall be forwarded to the Alberta Queen's Printer for inclusion in the Alberta Gazette.

document and/or that it proceed directly to second reading.

The purpose of second reading is to affirm that the Policy document-including any changes made

document does not meet General Council's approval on second reading no further substantive changes

may be made to the Policy document and it is considered defeated.

document does not meet General Council's approval on third reading no further substantive changes

may be made to the Policy document and it is considered defeated.
