a Novel by Marilee Manz
In June of 2013, Southern Alberta experienced a massive flood. This was due to heavy snowfall in the mountains melting in Spring, and torrential rains combining to saturate the earth and overflow creeks and rivers. The Bow and Elbow rivers in Calgary were major centers of destruction. The flood water destroyed everything in its path and travel in the city was halted as you could not safely drive over many bridges. After moving to safety, all Calgarians could do was watch.
What began in black and white, blossomed into color.
Other than the crunching sound underfoot, the earth covered in snow is transformed into a hushed silence.
There were many occasions where a Maya King would dance for the people
The Weaselhead is an area in Glenmore Park in Calgary with a history stemming from the late 1800’s and was named by the Tsuu T’ina Natives. The first bridge to cross the Elbow River was built near Weaselhead Crossing, where people had from time immemorial crossed the river by foot.
