Monday is election day in Alberta. I encourage every eligible voter to exercise their democratic franchise, if they haven’t already done so during advance polling. It is the least we can do to keep our democracy vibrant and meaningful.

Treasures at ground level

It pays to look down! sometimes. I’ve never noticed a piece of art depicting Alberta’s history, embedded in the floor of Terminal A at Calgary International Airport until this week … even though it’s been there for seven years. Above is one portion of it.
