Thunder Bay Public Library appoints Indigenous relations advisor

The Thunder Bay Public Library has appointed Stephanie MacLaurin as its new senior advisor of Indigenous relations, a key leadership role aimed at advancing the library's commitment to reconciliation and the decolonization of public spaces. MacLaurin, who is Anishinaabe from Fort William First Nation and a lifelong resident of Westfort, brings more than eight years of professional experience to the position. Their background includes work in governance, Indigenous political science, mental health and post-secondary education. In the new role, MacLaurin will oversee the Indigenous Services Department. They will liaise with the Indigenous Advisory Council and other community partners. Their work will support the implementation of the library's Relationship-Building and Reconciliation Action Plan, which was developed in 2018 with guidance from the advisory council. The plan outlines the library's commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action and a broader effort to decolonize library practices and spaces. That includes providing educational resources, supporting Indigenous knowledge preservation and reviewing library policies. "A new job isn't just a fresh start," says MacLaurin. "It's the opening chapter of a story waiting to be written with passion, purpose and possibility. Stepping into this new role feels like stepping into the life I've been working towards." MacLaurin says they were drawn to the role by its emphasis on community engagement, something they missed in a previous position. "When I moved into my last position that I left for this job, I lost that kind of community component," they said. "I found myself looking at a role that was possibly all-encompassing for the interests that I have in my life right now." MacLaurin said the role immediately clicked for them. They have already identified three early priorities a few weeks into the role: strategic planning for the Indigenous Services Department; building relationships with Indigenous organizations and leadership; and contributing to policy analysis alongside library management. MacLaurin emphasized the importance of libraries being welcoming, inclusive spaces for Indigenous community members and organizations. "I found myself at Mary J. and Brodie a lot throughout my years, sitting at the table, doing research here, whether it was writing, finding the peace that you get within a library. So I would hope that this is something that Indigenous people could experience here and that they're finding peace and comfort." Raili Roy, director of community development at the library, said the team is excited to welcome MacLaurin. "They stood out as an exceptional candidate," Roy said. "We feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with them. We have much meaningful and rewarding work ahead." MacLaurin replaces Robyn Medicine who held the role for nearly a decade. Medicine passed away in February. During her time in the role, Medicine established Indigenous Knowledge Centres across all branches. "Robyn did an incredible job in this role and she has so much love from the community," they said. MacLaurin isn't sure yet which programs created by Medicine will remain. "But I really couldn't imagine just removing all of the hard work that she did." MacLaurin said they're hoping to build a place that is grounded in belonging, education and reconciliation.

Alberta to allow liquor sales as early at 6:30 a.m. during this year's Calgary Stampede

The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission will once again extend the hours that alcohol can be legally sold during this year's Calgary Stampede. "Bars, restaurants and lounges in the city of Calgary have the option to start liquor service at 8 a.m. during the 2025 Stampede, which runs from July 4 to 13," the provincial agency said Tuesday in a news release. The changes are a "blanket approval" that applies to all Class A, B and C liquor licensees, the AGLC said. This includes bars, lounges, taprooms and convention centres within Calgary. "Licensees do not have to apply for this particular extension, which is for early service only," the agency said. Closing hours for liquor service are not changing. Liquor licensees along the Stampede Parade route can start selling alcohol even earlier — at 7 a.m. — on the morning of the parade, July 4. In addition, private events held in the city during the Stampede that obtain permission from the AGLC may start alcohol sales as early as 6:30 a.m. "Hours for special events are determined on a case-by-case basis," the agency said. The AGLC regularly changes alcohol-service hours during major international sporting events or major community events. It has extended the sales hours for the Stampede annually since 2014.
