The Oldman Watershed Council Emblem
Bearing the Niitsitapi name of “The Creator”, the Oldman River in southern Alberta flows from its Rocky Mountain headwaters, through the Plains, to the confluence at the South Saskatchewan River. The Oldman’s face includes three iconic indicator species: Golden Eagle, Plains Bison and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
From the blog
Read about the creation of the Oldman Emblem and its many levels of meaning.
“Old Man made us. I don’t know who made him. I guess he always was. And he was, and is, a God. He was not called Old Man because of great age. The gods can not grow old, they live forever.

How old is the Oldman? That is to say, how far back in human memory do we have stories about our region? SAPA and the Lethbridge Public Library are hosting the OWC on November 23rd at an EVENING EVENT sneak peek behind-the-scenes of our Film Project. We will be showcasing the research on our historical maps and timeline which underscore present-day watershed issues and the videos we are making about them. All are welcome, admission is free. We hope you will bring a friend and join us!
