Cross Canada Day of Action

I helped organize Edmonton's contribution to the Cross Canada Day of Action that took place this past Saturday, April 4. The event coincided with the NATO summit on the organization's 60th anniversary. For once, we had good weather. The crowd was smaller than we had hoped, but with little time to get things together and several competing events (as usual), I am happy with the turnout. And it is always a pleasure to play outside when the sun is shining and it isn't too cold. I could even take my coat off. Here is a look at some of the action.
