    Albertonectes

    Albertonectes (pronounced al-BER-toe-NEK-teez) is a genus of plesiosaur in the family Elasmosauridae. Plesiosaurs were not the same as dinosaurs, though they are sometimes mistakenly placed in the same category. Dinosaurs lived on land, while plesiosaurs were air-breathing reptiles that flourished in the world’s oceans during the same era. Specifically, Albertonectes lived during the Late Cretaceous period (100.5 million–66 million years ago). To date, Albertonectes fossils have only been found in Alberta, south of Lethbridge. Albertonectes had 76 neck bones, the most of any animal.

    Albertosaurus

    Albertosaurus is a genus of large, meat-eating dinosaur (theropod). It lived between 73.1 and 69.6 million years ago. Skeletal remains of Albertosaurus have only been found in southcentral Alberta, in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation (see Badlands). Albertosaurus was the top predator in its ecosystem. Its close relative, Tyrannosaurus rex, appeared about 1 million years after Albertosaurus went extinct. Discovered in 1884 by Joseph Burr Tyrrell, it was the first meat-eating dinosaur discovered in Canada.

    Alcan Incorporated

    Alcan Incorporated was a major Canadian aluminum mining and manufacturing corporation. From the early 1990s to the early 2000s, it was the second-largest aluminum producer in the world. The company was originally founded in 1902 as the Northern Aluminum Company Limited, located in Shawinigan, Quebec. It was established as the Canadian subsidiary of the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa), one of the founders of which invented the process for extracting aluminum from bauxite. Northern Aluminum was renamed the Aluminum Company of Canada in 1925, and in 1928, it formally detached from Alcoa. In 1966, it was again renamed, this time as Alcan Aluminum Limited (becoming Alcan Incorporated in 2001). In 2007, Alcan was purchased by the British-Australian multinational corporation Rio Tinto for $38 billion. Today, Rio Tinto continues to operate several smelters in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, as well as in Kitimat, British Columbia.
