Alberta's 100th (2005)

In 2005 the people of Alberta celebrated Alberta's 100th birthday.

In Fort Vermilion, restorative work began on the Hudson's Bay Factor's House, built during the 1906-1908 period. This is the only factor's house on an original site in Alberta. Its location and history is distinctive in Canada.  It was designated a Provincial Historical Resources in 2005.
