Happy Canada Day


Today is Canada Day, so Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians, wherever you happen to be living around the world! This particular flag can be seen through the trees at the Reader Rock Garden - not sure if it is actually standing on the Stampede Grounds. Taken on 17 August 2011. It's going to be a hot day today, getting up to 30C this afternoon (feeling like 35C). Tomorrow, it's supposed to get up to 33C (feeling like 38C). I'm not a hot weather person! Most people in Calgary don't have air-conditioning, so you just can't get away from the heat. These hot, dry days, though, are thankfully helping to dry out a lot of the province after our Flood of the Century, but there are places that are still under water, such as a lot of High River, half an hour's drive to the south of Calgary. In that town, it could be several weeks before some of the homeowners can get back to their homes, most/all of which are going to be unfit to live in. Calgary has always been known for its sense of volunteering - this flood disaster is bringing out volunteers in an almost unbelievable way.
