Filler #2

The Heart Institute

The Mazankowski Heart Institute was declared open in May of this year, following a month of various celebratory events. However, the doors have not yet opened for treatment. Reality shots and more history will be posted when that day comes.

Filler series # 1

I am away and filled with guilt that I have failed my duty to post a daily photo. Therefore, please enjoy the following fillers until my return.

This is the east view from the top level of my favourite photo-op parkade in downtown Edmonton

The Mac.

Will resume soon.
Had to leave the city.

Banana Lily

These day lilies bloom a little later than the previous pink ones and are particularly large and spectacular this year. I must go to bed...so this one is a bit of a filler.

Northlands Park

Northlands is a nonprofit, community driven organization overseen by a combination of approximately 30, either elected or appointed, board members - none of whom receive renumeration. Initially formed to showcase an agricultural theme, the organization now hosts numerous trade, craft and art shows, entertainment and sporting events, rodeo, racing and gaming and the Capital-Exhibition. Northlands generates over 300 million in revenue and is a major employer in Edmonton, however much of the success is due to a large dedicated, as well as, fluctuating group of volunteers working on all levels of the organization.





This view taken from the ferris wheel at Northlands' Capital-Ex fairgrounds looks southwest across the Race Track to city centre (left) and Clarke Stadium (right).
