Yes another fine sunny day in Canada.
Off to the Legislature Building (House of Parliament) for a tour of the building including the debating chamber and seeing portraits of a Lieutenant Governor and his wife both of which had eyes and knees that followed us right around the building.
We also were shown the 'secret spot' where on the top floor one could clearly hear the sound of running water ion the fountain floors below. This was a chance phenomena discovered by a workman some time after the building was opened. Jim presented a pin to Janet our guide for providing a very informative tour.
A lunchtime meet of the Edmonton Rotary Club was the next port of call, a large Club with about 200 members and it was the President's Valedictory so we were treated to the year in Rotary, with some fantastic projects carried out by the Club. A youth exchange from Mexico gave her presentation of her year with the Club and was quite emotional as she bid farewell to the Club.
A 90th birthday was celebrated during the proceedings.
