J. Fred Scott

[1] Colonel Scott was admitted to the Order of the British Empire for his work founding battle drill training in the Canadian Army.

He entered law school and served part time in the Militia as a cavalryman in the 21st Alberta Hussars.

He was posted to the 1st Alberta Depot Battalion as a captain, and was hospitalized in Calgary in October 1918 with "recurring trench fever."

He married Olga Larson on 22 September 1920, and completed law studies at Osgoode Hall and the University of Alberta.

He practiced law in Calgary and became an officer of the 15th Alberta Light Horse when the 15th CLH was amalgamated to create that regiment.

His main achievement was adopting a new system of training the British Army called "Battle Drill."

The idea was not popular and Scott had to fight "tooth and nail" to convince the Canadian Army overseas of its value.

As part of a shakedown of older officers in the United Kingdom, Scott was returned to Canada in 1942,[6] promoted to colonel, and used his expertise in battle drill to start the Canadian Army's own training school in Vernon, British Columbia.

[14] He ran a thriving breeding stable for over thirty years later in life known as the Baha Tinda Stock Farm.

Davis in 1955, completed law school, and served as a current affairs panelist for CFCN Television in Calgary.

was composed by grade 5 and 6 students with the help of folk singer Paul Finkleman and his wife Deborah Robin[29] and both school and song received international attention when a recording of the students singing Calgary - A Symphony was reviewed in the Detroit Free Press as "the best of the lot" of music released in conjunction with the 1988 Winter Olympics held in Calgary.

[30] The school published a cookbook that was praised in the Calgary Herald for its celebration of "diversity of color and culture" in October 1994.

[39] The school was selected to host the kick-off of the Calgary Educational Partnership Foundation's reading incentive program on January 17, 2003, an event attended by Jarome Iginla and other National Hockey League celebrities.
