Chipman-Lamont bus tragedy
A school bus carrying 42 students from Chipman was struck by a CN freight train at an unsignalled crossing just east of Lamont on November 29, 1960, killing 17 teenagers — one of the deadliest road disasters in Canadian history. A permanent stone memorial stands in Lamont.

Compiled from Wikidata, whose data is released under CC0. Every entry links its Wikipedia article so you can check it. Nothing here is written by AI — each line is the label, description and date Wikidata holds, in a fixed format. That also means the coverage is Wikidata's: it leans heavily towards people with Wikipedia articles, and towards hockey. Alberta history is much larger than this page, which is why most days have no recorded event to lead with and the page says so rather than filling the space. Where a day opens with a highlighted entry above the timeline, that is a curated item: written, sourced to the page it links, and approved before it appeared here.
