Calgary, Alberta, May 25 - 29, 2006

Following my trip to Washington, I flew to Calgary to attend a meeting of the National Association of Canadian Community Colleges. They had invited representatives from rural community colleges in Mexico and the US to form an international group. I was asked to speak to a group of aboriginal college teachers about strategies for rural areas. Following the meetings I visited my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. On Sunday we got out and found some geocahes in the the East Calgary area. The photo was taken from the back yard of Reg Clark's new home outside Calgary.
