Jack Ross and Jane Ross participated in an evening of poetry at Canmore Arts Place.
Jack read his poem, Listen to the Message, then sang it for a highly receptive audience – many who expressed their delight with a “sung poem.”
Jane presented two poems: Young Muskrat and Maria Campbell.
The book of poems is available from Battle River Books at source21@telus.net for $20.00. An excellent Christmas gift!
The Battle River Group hosted the 2019 Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Distinguished Artist Awards; an initiative that was in the planning stages from 2017 through 2019 and culminated with the spectacular LGAA Awards ceremony on September 21, 2019. The experience of working together [Indigneous, Settler and Newcomer] catalyzed already existing regional collaborations to a new and more sustaining levels.
In 2020, we continue the work in ways that draw on the 2017-2019 experience, bringing new confidence to regional artists and others as we practice wahkohtowin (working together)

Our logo reflects the importance of grouse to Battle River Region and our group’s dedication to learning more about grouse types, status, behaviour and habitat to inform what can be done to protect them.
The logo is based on an image of the sharp-tailed grouse by Eddy Cobiness, Indian Group of Seven.
