It was minus 30 when I arrived in Calgary — Brrr!!! But I tried to be a good sport about it.
I started myofficial mascot duties Calgary at the Health Sciences Library by attending the February planning meeting of the Evidence in Complementary Medicine symposium.
Taryn Lenders, Librarian at the Peter Lougheed Centre, took meon a tour of downtown. Here I’m posing with the Famous Five. They listened sympathetically as I put forth an argument that lobsters should count as “persons.”
Posing in Olympic Plaza, with a nice view of Calgary Public Library’s main branch.
I started getting homesick when I saw the old Bank of Nova Scotia building — Ireally wanted a picture of it.
At the Devonian Gardens.
I wanted to know what Calgarians do for a good time. So my hosts took me to Narah, a local hookah bar. It’s a good thing banana-split-flavoured tobacco isn’t more widely available.
Then it was off to the Wild Rose Brewery to sample the best beer in Calgary. If anyone tries to tell you I say I’ll never drink Keith’s again, don’t believe it. Those who like it, like it alot. When you visit Halifax for CHLA/ABSC 2008, you’ll see what I mean!
My visit to Alberta Children’s Hospital.
A million thanks to everyone who hosted me in Calgary. I had a wonderful time! I look forward to seeing you all again in Halifax!
