Administrative history
In the 1910s, home economics emerged as a discipline in the public schools of Edmonton and Calgary, and at the three provincial agricultural colleges in Alberta. In 1918 a Department of Household Economics (later Faculty of Home Economics) was established at the University of Alberta. The Edmonton Home Economics Association was organized in 1923, the Calgary Home Economics Association in 1934, the Alberta Home Economics Association in 1935, and the Canadian Home Economics Association in 1939. Since 1989 it has been recognized by the government of Alberta as the self-regulating body for the home economics profession. Its purpose is to promote high professional standards for home economists and to encourage their involvement in studying and responding to social issues affecting the well-being of Albertans. Its activities include preparing briefs and submissions regarding proposed government legislation, and providing career information, scholarships and professional development opportunities. The name of the organization was changed to the Alberta Home Ecology and Home Economics Association in the late 1990s.
