Greetings from Alberta! It is my honour and privilege to serve as Provincial Director for The Terry Fox Foundation for Alberta, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories. Support for Terry Fox runs deeply and profoundly across our region. One of the most beautiful things about Terry Fox Foundation events is that they are so truly reflective of Canada – they occur in the largest of cities and the smallest of towns. Whether it is a community Terry Fox Run, a National School Run Day event, a head shave or a workplace event, you would be hard pressed to name a town in Alberta that doesn’t hold at least one of these events to raise funds for cancer research in Terry’s name. And in Taber, Alberta, you will find a town that embraces them all.

I heard something the other day that had me thinking about extreme weather in other areas of the world. Used as we Albertans are to the whims of Mother Nature, we find these last few months of on-again off-again weather patterns hard to swallow. It’s hot, it’s cold, it’s wet, it’s dry – oh, there’s the snow again.
We aren't the only ones, and we should probably be thankful that the weather is unable to make up it's mind, rather than pummel us as it has been doing elsewhere.

My musical experience has always been limited to three instruments: the recorder I played off-tune in Grade 3, the ukulele I played for a Christmas concert in Grade 7, and the keyboard that I taught myself to play while at my grandmother's.

I'm sure I am not the only one to have noticed that we seemed to have missed spring. My birthday is right before the first full day of spring, so I know it was supposed to be here — and yet it has eluded us. The spring rains and warming temperatures were at first side-swiped by snow, July heat, more snow, and then the warmth of August. Suddenly, we have found ourselves in the middle of summer and a whole ton of wind.

While mounting our newest exhibit on ranching, both sheep and cattle, at the museum I got to wondering about barbed wire. When was the first wire made, who made it and why? These were the questions that first popped into my mind so to the internet I went. My search led me to the wondrous discovery of a museum dedicated to the subject of barb wire. Located in Texas the Devils Rope Barbed Wire Museum site was full of information and answered all my questions and then some.
