October 19

Wonderful temperature today, blue skies and sunshine!  We drove into south Calgary and then took the train into downtown.

What a lovely city center!  We only picked one thing to go towards and that was the +15 Skywalk.  This skywalk is 15 feet above the street and links about 10 miles of the downtown so you can go a long ways without having to step outside if you don't want to.  It's the most extensive pedestrian network of its kind in the world.

Cleaning and polishing the Famous 5 statues.  Here are three.

These five Albertan women were drawn together by the tides of history and a shared idealism. Each was a true leader in her own right: one a police magistrate, another a legal expert who founded the National Council for Women, and three served as Members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. And they did all this before they were even fully defined as "persons" under Canadian and British law.
