Congratulations to Bill Elliot (former Mayor of Wetaskiwin and Battle River Working Group member) for completing the Walk for Common Ground.
Bill writes: “Happy Sunday.” and sends pictures of the 350 Km walk from Edmonton to Calgary.
He goes on to say that “It was a most insightful, reflective, spiritual, and inspiring 15 days.”

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.

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)
