Legacy gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts through its Magazine Publishers Grant Program. The AFA’s support is critically important in helping us to continue telling the stories of how Albertans create, celebrate, and preserve their distinctive arts and cultural heritage.

The Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) is a crown agency of the Government of Alberta formed in 1991. In 2006, $22.6 million from lottery revenues were distributed by the AFA to individual artists and arts organizations in the visual, performing and literary arts, and cultural industries, an increase of $2.34 million over 2005. As the result of annual foundation support to more than 1,200 grant applicants, Albertans enjoy an enhanced quality of life through opportunities to participate in the arts.

Winter 2009
Complete Contents of Current Issue

After 14 years, Winter 2009 is our 56th issue of Legacy and our last.

As Legacy's publisher/editor/owner, I have been fortunate to work with remarkable people. My sincere thanks to our thoughtful associate publisher Gurston Dacks and encouraging business psychiatrist/music columnist Ron Chalmers. To talented, remarkable designer Mark Dutton. To patient general managers Mary Oakwell, Liz Grieve, and Yoko Sekiya; and determined ad sales manager Andrea Kopylech. And to two of the best, most sensitive associate editors, Eva Radford and Naomi Lewis. Thank you, also, to the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation for supporting school subscriptions and to Enbridge, Elly de Jongh, and Melcor Developments for public library subscriptions. To the Alberta Foundation for the Arts for editorial support. And to our committed advertisers and many loyal readers.

I have looked forward each issue to wonderfully written columns by Paula Simons, Sid Marty, Ron Chalmers, Laurie Greenwood, Johanne Yakula, Dorothy Field, Gordon Morash, and Patricia Myers. And to beautifully crafted prose and poetry by well-known and emerging writers alike.

But I have decided that Legacy's own story will conclude now. Indeed, it has been fun. Thank you all beyond words.

Barb Dacks, Publisher
