Looking Back and Looking Forward with CRTA
We managed to enrich the
easy days of summer with
a few activities. The first
was a bus trip to the Royal
Alberta Museum. Our initial
focus at this newly renovated
museum was the Vikings exhibit. There are 650 artifacts
ranging from exotic jewels to three Viking warships
including the Roskilde 6 , the longest Viking warship
ever found. It shows the original lines of the ship and
contains thousand-year-old planks! This exhibit is on
until October 2019. Other exhibits were as informative
and interesting as well, notably I Am from Here , where
descendants of black pioneers in Alberta share their
stories, and Remembering the First World War , which
L to R: Helena Wilson, Mary Checkley, Kevin
Bond, Jennifer Bond, The Viking, Sandy MacDonald.
With thanks to the Royal Alberta Museum.
