Scenes

 More looks today at Morning Star.


Looking back down at the staircase where I was at gives us a view outside.


Inscribed on a column nearby in three languages are the words of William Commanda, a highly respected chief, which are wisely said.


A look down from here really brings home the size of the Grand Hall.


The path to the Canadian History Hall is lined with images of places and activities across Canada. These are done with reflective glass with a light overlay. We start with Inuit drum dancers.


The Calgary Stampede in Alberta is a big part of that province's culture.


This is Our Lady of Victory Church in the Northwest Territories.


Maple syrup tapping is a long tradition in eastern Canada.


This is the First World War Memorial in Saskatchewan.


The Stratford Festival Theatre can be found in the town of Stratford in southern Ontario, where each summer a festival of plays by Shakespeare and others is put on, a long standing tradition.

  2. Every culture seems to have had a William Commanda speaking similar words. All we need now is the people to listen.
