It was a short visit to Calgary Expo for me this year, with time for only one panel discussion. I picked one with Colm Meaney, known for his roles on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Hell on Wheels and a bevy of feature films. Here, he is speaking about the 2013 flood in Calgary, which affected Hell on Wheels’s production on the outskirts of the city. He said the flood washed away their set and displaced the cast and crew multiple times before they got to high-enough ground.

Spotted both during my first Calgary Expo back in 2012.

Today is the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy, a First World War encounter in France now widely regarded as a seminal moment that helped shape Canada as a country. Calgary’s Poppy Plaza is one the memorial monuments erected in honour of Canadian veterans.
