Ahh these are some fantastic links, thank you for sharing! Glad I caught those first 2 in time before the 14th.

Thanks - good to hear from Alberta as I have Canadian blood and still have lots of relatives there!

They are mostly involved with farming around Sylvan Lake and into the Rockies…..and some grow fruit in the Okanagon Valley near Penticton!
