The Globe and Mail – November 25, 2003. Columnist Roy MacGregor inverviews Fil Fraser (founder of the Banff Television Festival), whose new book Alberta’s Camelot is “a celebration of the Peter Lougheed years, 1971 to 1985”,
It was a time when the Banff Centre became a year-round, world-class facility…. “The genius of the era, was the matching grants program… that made people not only have to go out and raise their own money but it forced them to account for it. We created an atmosphere of accountability in the arts. It’s no accident that so many good arts administrators come from Alberta.”
