Founded in 1905, the High River Times served a community of small
town advertisers and an extensive hinterland of ranchers and
farmers in southern Alberta. Under the ownership of the Charles
Clark family for over 60 years, the Times established itself as the
epitome of the rural weekly press in Alberta. Even Joe Clark, the
future prime minister, worked for the family business. While
historians rely heavily on local newspapers to write about rural
and small town life, Paul Voisey has studied the influence of the
Times on shaping the community of High River. Originally, the Times
boostered High River as 'bustling and modern', and then later as
'small and friendly'. After World War II, with the help of the
Times, High River constructed a mythical image as a ranching
district with a wild and colourful past.
