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. Foreword by Rt. Hon. Joe Clark, PC CC.

"High River and The Times: An Alberta Community and Its Weekly Newspaper 1905-1966 is the true story of a small town and its weekly newspaper, "High River Times." An enjoyable and informative excursion through six decades of change, including two world wars, and the relationship the small newspaper had in recording, articulating, and defending local attitudes, activities, and aspirations, High River and The Times is an aptly researched and endearingly presented tour through an era gone by, but not long past."
