 * For Mazas Prison, see here.

Jacques Féréol Mazas (23 September 1782 – died 26 August 1849) was a French composer, conductor, violinist, and pedagogue.

dear Timemaster
Dear Timemaster,

I'm reaching out to researchers and writers interested in the emerging, or re-emerging, movements inspired by ancient culture in the areas of religion/theology/mythology/culture...I spare-headed an artistic collaboration between a music professor, rock-vocalist and poet to create a modern multi-media experience of the cathardic journey inspired by ancient pagan poetic traditions; A romance to nature seen as a beautiful, divine and omnipotent woman.

It has singularly been my goal to respect tradition while allowing a free and spontaneous interpretation...I believe the utility of a quasi-rebirth of some aspects of the ancient religious tendancies would be achieved in an increase of tolerance, sympathy, and freedom of expression in our modern discoures on religion...so much needed. Until we have a cultural revolution tantamount to the politcal revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries [aiding the rebirth of a government of, by and for the people] in the area of religion, I will not rest. Until the rebirth of religions which are of, by and for the people, as fluid as art, as deep as mythology and theology and as powerful as culture, I do not believe we will be truly free no matter what economic or political conditions surround us. Democracy without a democratic cultural is as frustrating as it is ineffectual.

If you have a moment could you peruse the poetry project site. http://www.misbeliever.net As you are a worker in these areas, having ebhanced the Wikipedia, the world's greatest encyclopedia, I would be very honored with any remarks or critisms you could offer either me or my collaborators.

Theatre of Japan

Traditional Japanese theatre is among the oldest theatre traditions in the world. Traditional theatre includes Noh, a spiritual drama, and its comic accompaniment kyōgen; kabuki, a dance and music theatrical tradition; bunraku, puppetry; and yose, a spoken drama.

Modern Japanese theatre includes shingeki (experimental Western-style theatre), shinpa (new school theatre) and shōgekijō (little theatre). In addition, there are many classical western plays and musical adaptations of popular television shows and movies that are produced in Japan.

Noh and kyōgen
Noh and kyōgen theatre traditions are among the oldest continuous theatre traditions in the world. The earliest existing kyōgen scripts date from the 15th century. Noh was a spiritual drama, combining symbolism from Buddhism and Shinto and focusing on tales with mythic significance. Kyōgen, its comic partner, served as a link between the theological themes of the Noh play with the pedestrian world by use of theatrical farce and slapstick. Noh theatre was generally performed for the elite aristocratic class, but there were occasions where Noh was also performed for common audiences. Noh and kyōgen plays were performed together in series of nine, alternating between the two styles, with short kyōgen plays acting as interludes between the lengthy Noh.

Both men and women were allowed to perform kyōgen until 1430.

Kabuki
Kabuki combines music, drama, and dance, often using period-accurate costumes and intense choreography. Types of kabuki play include (historical plays) and  ("contemporary" plays), as well as  (dance-drama) plays primarily focused around set dance pieces. Styles of kabuki performance include (rough style),  (soft style) and  (female style).

Kabuki developed out of opposition to the staid traditions of Noh theatre, a form of entertainment primarily restricted to the upper classes. Traditionally, Izumo no Okuni is considered to have performed the first kabuki play on the dried-up banks of the Kamo River in Kyoto in 1603. Like Noh, however, over time, kabuki developed heavily into a set art form, with importance given to preserving the integrity of certain plays, down to using the same costume designs used several centuries ago.

Bunraku
Bunraku began in the 16th century. Puppets and bunraku were used in Japanese theatre as early as the Noh plays. Medieval records prove the use of puppets in Noh plays too. The puppets were 3 - 4 ft-tall, and the dolls were manipulated by puppeteers in full view of the audience. The puppeteers controlling the legs and hands of the puppets are dressed entirely in black, while the head puppeteer in contrast wears a colourful costume. Music and chanting is a popular convention of bunraku, and the shamisen player is usually considered to be the leader of the production. The shamisen player also has the shortest hair.

Yose
Yose was a popular form of spoken theatre in the Edo period. The term is the shortened form of roughly "where people sit together" (人寄せ席). Towards the end of the Edo period, there were several hundred theatres, about one per district (町). The entrance fee, the "wooden door penny" (木戸銭) was small.

A number of variants existed:
 * "Narrative stories" (講談)
 * "Erotic stories" (人情噺)
 * "Comic stories" (落語)
 * "Magic arts" (手品)
 * "Shadow theatre" (写し絵)
 * "Imitation of several people" (八人芸)
 * "Ghost stories" (怪談)
 * "Artful tales" (芸屋噺)

Modern theatre
Japanese modern drama in the early 20th century consisted of shingeki (experimental Western-style theatre), which employed naturalistic acting and contemporary themes in contrast to the stylized conventions of kabuki and Noh. Hōgetsu Shimamura and Kaoru Osanai were two figures influential in the development of shingeki.

In the post-war period, there was a phenomenal growth in creative new dramatic works, which introduced fresh aesthetic concepts that revolutionized the orthodox modern theatre. Challenging the realistic, psychological drama focused on "tragic historical progress" of the Western-derived shingeki, young playwrights broke with such accepted tenets as conventional stage space, placing their action in tents, streets, and open areas located all over Tokyo. Plots became increasingly complex, with play-within-a-play sequences, moving rapidly back and forth in time, and intermingling reality with fantasy. Dramatic structure was fragmented, with the focus on the performer, who often used a variety of masks to reflect different personae.

Playwrights returned to common stage devices perfected in Noh and kabuki to project their ideas, such as employing a narrator, who could also use English for international audiences. Major playwrights in the 1980s were Kara Juro, Shimizu Kunio, and Betsuyaku Minoru, all closely connected to specific companies. In contrast, the fiercely independent Murai Shimako who won awards throughout the world for her numerous works focusing on the Hiroshima bombing, performed plays with only one or two actresses. In the 1980s, Japanese stagecraft evolved into a more refined into a more sophisticated and complex format than earlier postwar experiments but lacked their bold critical spirit. In this time period, women began to run their own theater companies such as Kishida Rio, Kisaragi Koharu, Nagai Ai, and Watanabe Eriko.

Tadashi Suzuki developed a unique method of performer training which integrated avant-garde concepts with classical Noh and kabuki techniques, an approach that became a major creative force in Japanese and international theatre in the 1980s. Another highly original east–west fusion occurred in the inspired production Nastasya, adapted from Dostoevsky's The Idiot, in which Bando Tamasaburo, a famed kabuki onnagata (female impersonator), played the roles of both the prince and his fiancée.

Shinpa
Shinpa is a modern form of theatre. It earned the name "shinpa" (literally meaning "new school") to contrast it from "kyūha" ("old school" or kabuki) due its more contemporary and realistic stories. With the success of the Seibidan troupe, however, shinpa theater ended up with a form that was closer to kabuki than to the later shingeki because of its continued use of onnagata and off-stage music. As a theatrical form, it was most successful in the early 1900s as the works of novelists such as Kyōka Izumi, Kōyō Ozaki, and Roka Tokutomi were adapted for the stage. With the introduction of cinema in Japan, shinpa became one of the first film genres in opposition again to kyūha films, as many films were based on shinpa plays.

Shōgekijō
The 1980s also encouraged the creation of the shōgekijō, literally "little theatre". This usually meant amateur theatrical troupes making plays designed to be seen by anyone and everyone — not necessarily as meaningful in nature as they were simply entertaining. Some of the more philosophical playwrights and directors of that time are Noda Hideki and Shōji Kōkami.

Popular shōgekijō theatrical troupes include Nylon 100, Gekidan Shinkansen, Tokyo Sunshine Boys, and Halaholo Shangrila.

Recently, new generation of shōgekijō artists who are labelled as the "Generation of the Lost Decade" or the "Generation of 2000s" have emerged. Principal artists among this generation are: Toshiki Okada, Shiro Maeda, Kuro Tanino, Daisuke Miura, Tomohiro Maekawa and so on.

Western plays in Japan
Many classics of the western canon from Ancient Greek theatre, William Shakespeare, Fyodor Dostoevsky to Samuel Beckett are performed in Tokyo today. A large number of performances, perhaps as many as 3,000, are given each year, making Tokyo one of the world's leading theatrical centers.

The opening of the replica of the Globe Theatre was celebrated by importing an entire British company to perform all of Shakespeare's historical plays, while other Tokyo theatres produced other Shakespearean plays including various new interpretations of Hamlet and King Lear. The Globe Theatre, located in Shin-Ōkubo in Tokyo, now belongs mostly to Johnny's Entertainment and the promotion of pop idols in the acting field.

Yukio Ninagawa is an internationally known Japanese director and playwright who often turns to elements of Shakespeare for inspiration. In 1995 he performed the "Shakespeare Tenpo 12Nen", an interpretation of the wildly popular British theatre Shakespeare Condensed: all of Shakespeare's plays in two hours. Famous actors such as Natsuki Mari and Karawa Toshiaki were involved.

Theatrical revues
Outside of traditional theatrical entertainment, theatrical revues began to be recognized as popular entertainment in Japan during the early 1900s. Originating in the West, the light theatrical entertainment offered by theatrical revues inspired the creation of famed Japanese revue companies such as the Takarazuka Revue, founded by Ichizō Kobayashi in 1914, with a failed swimming pool in Takarazuka turned into a theatre.

Following the rise of Western and European culture influencing Japanese social, political, and economic culture, Japan's entertainment culture was additionally influenced. Within the popular entertainment of the Takarazuka Revue Company, its repertoire consisted of Euro-Western performance and musical styles alongside traditional Japanese performance elements. This would consist of Western and European stories (such as The Rose of Versailles), Western musical arrangements (such as CHICAGO), as well as the inclusion of traditional Japanese stories and music.

2.5D musical
2.5D musicals are stage adaptations of anime, manga, and video game series. While stage adaptations of anime and manga have existed since the 1970s, they gained popularity around the 2000s through Musical: The Prince of Tennis. Modern 2.5D musicals use projection mapping for backgrounds and special effects.

In order to remain listed at Requests for comment, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. This must involve the same dispute with a single user, not different disputes or multiple users. The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page with ~. If this does not happen within 48 hours of the creation of this dispute page (which was 01:39, 30 September 2005 (UTC)), the page will be deleted. The current date and time is:, 29 July 2024 (UTC).

Users should only edit one summary or view, other then to endorse.

Statement of the dispute
Copperchair consistently refuses to abide by community consensus on the various Star Wars films articles. He removes Wedge Antilles (Dennis Lawson) from the credits, in violation of consensus and to prove a point that he believes the entire cast should be listed.

He also refuses to comply with numerous polite requests from several editors on his user Talk page that he cease this behaviour. His response has been to blank the "offending" sections of his Talk page, rather than to change his behaviour or engage in rational discussion.

I have been politely reminding the user that blanking user Talk pages, even his own, is not considered an acceptable practise, especially when that blanking is intended to remove (or hide) warnings. He considers these reminders to be vandalism, and continues blanking and otherwise vandalising my Talk page as "revenge" for what he perceives as "vandalism" on my part. (The user was blocked for three hours earlier tonight for this behaviour.)

Response
I do not believe the entire cast should be listed, as evidenced in all my reverts (the last of which were and ). I have only kept the characters suggested by Coffee in. Furthermore, I have not violated consensus, as I never received an answer as to what it was. Regarding the “polite requests” on my talk page, those which I blanked were bulling and accused my of vandalism for my good faith edits, which are backed by the movies’ end credits. Also, I have discussed the matter on. In my edits, I have been using an objective parameter (the movies' end credits, but limited to those that Coffee suggested), while others have used a subjective one (they include the ones they think are important). It is obvious that the filmmakers are the ones who decide who’s important and who’s not in the end credits, and I feel that if Wikipedia is to be accurate, as it should be being it an encyclopedia, we should follow the filmmakers’ decision. No matter how much discussion there is on the subject, the answer is right there in the end credits. Consensus on this matter is irrelevant. So the issue comes down to this: do you prefer the articles to be accurate or to be determined by consensus? Copperchair 01:52, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

''This is a summary written by users not directly involved with the dispute but who would like to add an outside view of the dispute. Users editing other sections ("Statement of the dispute" and "Response") should not edit the "Outside Views" section, except to endorse an outside view.''

This is obviously a highly contentious dispute. Copperchair has made some uncivil statements, and possibly violated WP:POINT. But Copperchair's talk page is his own area, and he has the right to do whatever he wants with it. Nevertheless, Copperchair going and blanking Clawson's entire talk page is not only against WP policy, but is also an unnecessarily vengeful move.

I recommend mediation for both parties, probably a formal mediation. There's obviously some problems going on that need to be addressed.

Outside view by Ben Aveling
I have had similar issues with Copperchair, that I failed to resolve.

I agree that, in general, a user has a right to blank their own talk page, and that no other user should normally unblank it, which has happened.

In this case however, Copperchair has blanked questions like "why did you revert X?" and "why did you revert Y?" Some questions deserve answers.

I see no evidence that Copperchair even understands that what he is doing is wrong, and specifically, he appears incapable of accepting that a minority view must at least attempt to accomodate the majority view.
 * I do what I think is right. Copperchair 01:00, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

He has not, in my experience, been prepared either to explain his own actions, nor to attempt to understand the POV of any other party.

I do not think this is unwillingness on his part, so much as utter inability. How can I put this as politely as possible; I know one person who can be more indifferent to the views of other people than Copperchair, and he is a diagnosed autistic.

I don't know what to do. I do not expect that Copperchair will reform, whatever punishment is imposed. If infinite blocked, he might go away, or he might start another account.

I wish you the wisdom of Solomon.

Started in 1946 by Edward Rawlinson (1912–1992), a Saskatchewan resident born in Qu'Appelle, it became one of Canada's most successful broadcasting companies. Rawlinson had a fascination for radio broadcasting, and in 1946 he purchased CKBI radio in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and soon after became chairman of his own company, Rawlco Communications. The company went on to acquire prominent radio and television stations in Prince Albert, North Battleford, Meadow Lake, Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton and Calgary.

In 1975, Rawlinson's two sons, Gordon and Doug, both from Prince Albert, entered the business. The Rawlinson brothers formed Rawlco Radio, a Saskatchewan-based radio broadcasting company. During the next twenty years, Rawlco Radio purchased and operated radio stations in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Ontario. In partnership with Maclean-Hunter, Rawlco was also part of the original consortium licensed to launch NCN, a Canadian country music video channel which was later renamed CMT.

In 1999, they consolidated holdings to focus only on Saskatchewan and Alberta radio. It currently operates seven stations in the provinces.

Ed Rawlinson died in 1992, and his son Gordon is now CEO of Rawlco Radio.

On July 10, 2014, Rawlco announced that it would sell its radio station clusters in Edmonton (CKNO-FM and CIUP-FM), North Battleford/Meadow Lake (CJNB, CJCQ-FM, CJHD-FM and CJNS-FM), and Prince Albert (CKBI, CFMM-FM, and CHQX-FM) to The Jim Pattison Group.

ActewAGL

ActewAGL is an Australian multi-utility joint venture company provides utility services in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and south-east New South Wales. The company was formed in October 2000 between the Australian Gas Light Company (now AGL Energy) and ACTEW Corporation (now Icon Water).

History
ActewAGL was formed in October 2000 as a joint venture between the Australian Gas Light Company (AGL) and ACTEW Corporation, a government-owned enterprise of the ACT Government.

In 2000, ActewAGL entered into a contract with ACTEW Corporation for the management and operation of the water and sewerage network of the ACT and surrounding area. In February 2004, ActewAGL entered into a management agreement with TransACT Capital Communications Pty Ltd.

In October 2006 ActewAGL's business was reorganised, creating separate retail and distribution entities. AGL and ACTEW Corporation continued as the partners for the retail business and Alinta and ACTEW Corporation became partners of the distribution business. Alinta changed its name in August 2008 to Jemena.

In June 2012, ACTEW Corporation did not renew ActewAGL's water and sewerage management contract.

As of October 2017, ActewAGL is made up of two partnerships:

 * ActewAGL Retail — owned equally by Icon Water and AGL Energy via subsidiary companies.
 * ActewAGL Distribution — owned equally by Icon Water and Jemena Ltd via subsidiary companies. It operates an electricity distribution network and a gas distribution network in the ACT. The electricity supplies are provided by NSW Electricity Networks over transmission lines owned by TransGrid. Natural gas supplies come via the Eastern Gas Pipeline, owned by Jemena, from the Gippsland Basin, Victoria. On 1 January 2018, the part of ActewAGL Distribution that operates and maintains the ACT electricity and gas network changed its name to Evoenergy.

Innovation
Since its beginning, ActewAGL has continued to undertake several innovative programs to help the environment. They include the following.

 * Greenchoice – This is a program that lets residential and business customers support environmentally friendly green energy by paying a premium on their electricity bill (either fixed or percentage based plans). The additional payment is invested in renewable energy generation from sources like mini hydro, wind power and biomass. The Greenchoice program is independently assessed by the Australian government's National Green Power Accreditation Program to guarantee that the green energy produced by ActewAGL comes from government-approved renewable energy sources.
 * ActewAGL hydro – While most hydro-electric developments require the building of dams and lakes, ActewAGL's mini-hydro uses an existing water supply to provide electricity that would otherwise come from fossil-fuel power stations.
 * Solar farm – In early 2008 ActewAGL worked with the ACT Government to study the feasibility of developing a solar farm in the ACT. The study investigated the environmental impact, economic viability, and educational benefits of such a facility. In May 2009 the ACT Government called for expressions of interest to construct, own and operate a solar power facility in the ACT. The government specified the facility must be capable of delivering power to at least 10,000 Canberra homes. ActewAGL responded to this request and in December 2009 were advised that they had been shortlisted to move through to the next stage of the selection process.
 * Canberra will be the first Australian city to pilot a publicly-available Hydrogen Refuelling Station (HRS) with ActewAGL commencing the construction of the station in early 2020. The construction of the station and provision of vehicles are the result of a partnership between the ACT Government, ActewAGL and renewable energy developer Neoen. COVID-19 has caused delays in commissioning of the station. The 20 Hyundai Nexo hatchbacks which have been added to the ACT Government fleet, making up Australia's largest fleet of hydrogen-powered cars, have arrived in Canberra and await the opening of the station.
 * ActewAGL is pioneering a world-first electric vehicle (EV) vehicle-to-grid (V2G) trial with $2.4 million in funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). As batteries on wheels, V2G technology allows EVs to discharge electricity back to the grid or even provide services to improve grid security. The Realising Electric Vehicle-to-Grid Services (REVS) project will see 51 Nissan LEAF EVs deployed across the ACT to test and provide V2G services. The REVS project is a whole of industry collaboration including the ACT Government (fleet owner), Australian National University (research), Evoenergy (electricity network owner), JET Charge (charging infrastructure), Nissan (vehicle manufacturer) and SG Fleet (fleet manager), all who have collectively supported the project contributing a further $3.86m. Accenture is supporting the REVS project with project management services and insights on the global EV landscape. The REVS project ran until February 2022.
 * ActewAGL has research partnerships with the Australian National University, Deakin University and the Canberra Institute of Technology in areas of innovation including renewable hydrogen, energy efficiency and electric vehicles. In 2020 Dr Lee White of ANU's School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) was named winner of the Icon Water and ActewAGL Perpetual Endowment Fund and will spend 12 months collaborating with ActewAGL to determine the impact of housing energy efficiency on bill changes, driven by time-of-use rates.

Evoenergy
Evoenergy is the name used by the electricity poles and wires, and gas pipes business and is part of the ActewAGL Distribution partnership. Evoenergy owns and operates over 2,000 km of electricity network and over 4,500 km of gas mains.

In 2018, Evoenergy partnered with the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) to build a first-of-its-kind hydrogen test facility to test how hydrogen interacts with network materials, work practices and equipment. The study so far has verified that the underground 200kPa plastic network is compatible with 100 percent hydrogen.

In March 2020, Evoenergy was awarded $2.05 million in funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to research and test the impact of distributed energy resources on Canberra's energy market. The project will involve working in close collaboration with Schneider Electric, GreenSync, and Withywindle, and will explore the effect that distributed energy resources such as solar photovoltaics (PV), battery installations and electric vehicles have on the electricity network, and how these resources can be used by customers to their full potential.

In September 2020, Evoenergy received a $250,000 grant from the ACT Government to provide home batteries for 75 homes as part of the Ginninderry Residential Battery Trial. Ginninderry Estate is one of Canberra's first all-electric suburbs and the project will provide Evoenergy with the opportunity to analyse solar and battery usage patterns.

Peppino De Filippo

Peppino De Filippo (born Giuseppe De Filippo; 24 August 1903 – 27 January 1980) was an Italian actor.

De Filippo was born in Naples, brother of actor and dramatist Eduardo De Filippo and of Titina De Filippo. He made his stage debut at the age of six. He played in several movies such as Rome-Paris-Rome, Variety Lights, A Day in Court, Ferdinand I, King of Naples and Boccaccio '70. He is however most remembered for his several artistic partnerships with Totò, on movies such as Totò, Peppino e la malafemmina and La banda degli onesti. He died in Rome at age 76.

Biography
He was born from the affair between playwright and actor Eduardo Scarpetta and theatre seamstress and costumier Luisa De Filippo. He was the third of three children born from the couple, the other two being Annunziata "Titina" and Eduardo. His father was actually married since 1876 to Rosa De Filippo, Luisa's paternal aunt. His father Eduardo had several other illegitimate children from various affairs (including actors Ernesto Murolo, Eduardo Passarelli and Pasquale De Filippo).

After several attempts with different acting companies, as a utility player, in 1931 he and his siblings founded the Compagnia Teatro Umoristico: i De Filippo. It was a very successful experience, featuring tours all over Italy, new comedies, enthusiastic ratings by critics, and sold out in theaters.

However, in 1944, due to a controversy with his brother, Peppino abandoned the company. The separation would allow him to find his own stylistic footprint as an author, being easily distinguishable from Eduardo's: Peppino's comedies are usually easier and more brilliant.

Peppino repeatedly showed his extraordinary versatility; particularly noteworthy are his performance in The Caretaker by Harold Pinter and in The Miser by Molière (as Harpagon), where he proved to be a skillful actor whose ability had grown beyond brilliant and dialect plays.

Peppino should be defined an actor as well as a popular TV and cinema star. His partnership with Totò in many films has been one among the most interesting collaborations in the Italian comical cinema genre. Their movies obtained an outstanding success, despite being snubbed by critics. Worth a mention are Totò, Peppino e la malafemmina, Totò, Peppino e i fuorilegge, and La banda degli onesti. He worked with Federico Fellini as well, for instance in Boccaccio '70, and with Alberto Lattuada.

He also invented Pappagone, a character for a TV show. He represented a humble servant of Cummendatore Peppino De Filippo (the title of Commendatore is a public honour of the Italian Republic). He performed as a sort of usher, a typical character of the Neapolitan theatre, and coined many funny phrases and an own jargon, that would transform into popular sayings. He married three times, and his first wife Adele Carloni gave him Luigi, who successfully carried on his father's work.

He was married three times. From his first wife Adele (or Adelina) Carloni he had his only child, Luigi De Filippo. His second wife was actress Lidia Martora (pseudonym of Lidia Maresca) and was the sister of dancer Marisa Maresca. He married for the third time to Lelia Mangano. The actor Pietro Carloni (his first wife Adele's brother) was married to his sister Titina. The actress Ester Carloni was another sibling of his wife Adele.

Western Canada High School

Western Canada High School is a public high school in Calgary, Alberta that has operated since 1929. The high school was antedated by Western Canada College, a boys' preparatory school in the style of a British public school that opened in 1903. The College existed until the end of the 1926 academic year when it closed due to financial problems. The Calgary Board of Education purchased the property that year, and by September 1929 completed a group of new school buildings on the site. From 1929 to 1935 academic and technical schools operated independently on the Western property, until which time they merged under a single administration.

Western Canada is one of Calgary's oldest and most prestigious educational institutions. Given its proximity to the historic upper-class neighbourhoods of Mount Royal, Elbow Park, Roxboro, and Rideau Park, it has long been associated with the city's elite and establishment. Western Canada graduates have gone on to prolific careers in politics, law, sport, and the arts.

Western Canada College
The inspiration to build an advanced school in the then North-West Territories (NWT) came from James Chalmers Herdman (1855–1910), a Scottish Presbyterian minister. In 1902, Herdman had been appointed superintendent for the missions in British Columbia and the Territory. During his travels, he heard repeatedly from settlers about the inadequacy of educational institutions in the west. Herdman repeated his findings to friends in Calgary, and soon a sub-committee of the Calgary Presbytery was struck to investigate the creation of a new school. The sub-committee consisted of Herdman, James Muir, James Short, C. A. Stuart, and W. McDavidson. In April 1903, the committee reported that the recommended name for the school be "Western Canada College." Although the school was founded under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church, it was decided that it would be non-denominational. On 19 June 1903, An Ordinance to Incorporate "Western Canada College" received assent in the Legislative Assembly of the North-West Territories.

The original school building was completed in 1903 as a British-style exclusive high school for boys called Western Canada College (not a college in the North American sense of the word). It was created by "The Western Canada College Bill of Incorporating Ordinance" enacted by the Legislature of the NWT, which Calgary was then a part of before the province of Alberta was created in 1905. To raise money for the new college, 5000 shares were sold for $10 each. Many of the original investors read like a "Who's Who" list for Alberta; Pat Burns, R. B. Bennett, A.E. Cross, William Pearce, A.C. Rutherford (who was premier at the time), and George Lane.

On Wednesday, 23 September 1903 at 9:30 am, Western opened its doors and began classes. Opening ceremonies for the school took place the next evening at Hull's Opera House in Calgary. Their ceremony was presided over by Sir Frederick Haultain, premier of the NWT. When it opened, the school had nine residential students and 19 day students. At the beginning of the second academic year in September 1904, there were 25 students in residence and 15 day students.

In the summer of 1904, the college announced plans to construct a residence building on its property. On Friday, 9 September 1904, Governor General The Earl of Minto laid the cornerstone. On Friday, 13 January 1905, the building had an informal opening where citizens were invited to tour it.

Western Canada High
A granite shaft bearing a Cross of Sacrifice was dedicated as a list of honor memorial to Western Canada College students who were killed during the First World War and who served during the Second World War, the Korean War and as peacekeepers. The cenotaph was designed by architect George Fordyce, and was a modification of a design Arthur J. Wade. It was unveiled officially on Sunday, 26 August 1928.

In 1928, the board planned three new buildings on the Western Canada site: a three-storey (west) academic wing, three-storey (east) technical wing, and one-storey shops wing. The contract for the technical wing was given to Bennett and White in September 1928 for $138,126. While the building was under construction, on 8 April 1929 a fire broke out inside from a gas heater. The contact for the academic wing was given on 4 March 1929 to Bennett and White for $163,270. The contract to build the one-storey shops wing and power plant was awarded to Bennett and White on 29 April 1929 for around $40,000. Controversy arose over the smoke stack that would be constructed adjacent the shops wing. The stack was originally to be 125 feet high, however, residents in the neighbourhood protested that the structure would make the area look industrial, thus decreasing their house prices. They protested the plan, and the smoke stack height was decreased to 80 feet. The three new buildings were completed in August 1929, and on Tuesday, 3 September, the new school was opened to students for registration. Classes began on Monday, 9 September.

On 21 June 1935, trustees in favour of construction of a new combined auditorium and gymnasium at Western. On 12 September, the construction contract was awarded to McDonald Brothers for $25,948. Work began that month and was completed by early December. Opening ceremonies took place on the evening of Friday, 13 December and were presided over by F. E. Spooner, retiring chairman of the school board. On Saturday, 8 November 1936 the structure caught fire and was burned to the ground. The estimated loss was $33,000. On 12 November, the board called a special meeting and voted to rebuild the structure. Work on the replacement auditorium began in February 1937, but was delayed by building material shortages. The structure, although not completely finished, was ready to be used for graduation ceremonies on 8 June.

In 1958, the school board recommended a major addition to the school to help it accommodate more students. The addition would connect the 1929 west and east wings. Construction of the new building necessitated the demolition of the last remaining Western Canada College building, the 1906 brick academic building that had remained in use as the school library when the high school opened.

In June 1964, the board of education approved a major expansion programme at the school. Part of this would be completed under the auspices of the Technical and Vocational Training Assistance Act. The expansion began in 1965 with the construction of three auto shops and two classrooms, built onto the old shops wing. In 1966, a new classroom wing was constructed. The final phase of the addition came in 1967, when the school added its auxiliary gymnasium, theatre, and band room. This addition was designed by architect Alton McCaul Bowers.

Western's last addition was made in 1981. That year, the school constructed a new gymnasium and a drama room behind the theatre. To build the new gymnasium, part of the existing 1937 gym was removed, and the remaining section was converted to a cafeteria. The new gym was built perpendicular to the old on the south side of the school.

Special programs
The school provides French and English language as a primary language instruction. In addition, it is one of a select number of schools in Calgary to offer French immersion. Western is one of a small number of Calgary high schools to offer an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. The school also offers an extensive performing and visual arts program, and offers a certificate to recognize students that have made fine arts a focus of learning at the high school level. The school is part of the Action for Bright Children Society.
