After breakfast and the "Team Ontario" picture in the morning (with all the other teams from Ontario), it was on to the bus and heading for the mountains!
Our first stop was Waterton National Park in the Rocky Mountains. The team eagerly participated in various hikes, and the general consensus was that we could have spent a lot more time there. The views were great, and so was the weather!
After that we were off to the "Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump" World Heritage Site, a native site and interpretive centre that was very interesting.
Our final stop was the Alberta Birds of Prey Centre, which specializes in protecting and rehabilitating injured birds and recovering species. The eagle demonstrations were very popular, as were the other displays and birds at the centre.
In the evening, a number of different events - a trip to the local dairy queen, some time in the participants lounge, and just sitting around talking ... then it was off to bed, in preparation for tomorrow's public viewing, followed by the Awards Ceremony and Awards Banquet!
The welcome from the University staff and the people in Lethbridge has been great, with a large dose of that famous western hospitality.
Still lots more excitement to come!
