December is the Month for our Annual Calgary Food Bank Donation Drive: Thank you to everyone who attended and donated a total of $1,875. And thank you to Steve Zacher who gave generous prizes for our gift draw.
Day Trips: We’re hoping to get to Banff on Tuesday, February 6, to check out this year’s snow sculptures and, if Chateau Lake Louise approves, we’ll get there also to see the ice sculptures. We were very excited that Lake Louise was welcoming world-class ice carvers back to compete for the first time since 2020 but then we were very disappointed that entry was restricted to a few weekend evenings. We’ve communicated with Banff and Lake Louise Tourism and Chateau Lake Louise to find an option that works for our seniors’ group. Banff Snow Days, with snow sculptures throughout the downtown happens at the same time. If things work out, we’ll get an early start to Lake Louise to tour the ice sculptures for an hour or so then head to Banff for lunch (buy your own or bring one) and a walk-about to view the snow sculptures or shop before heading home. At time of writing, we’re still hoping our negotiations will reach a happy end.
