Darcy and a local committee are in the process of confirming an activity package to bring delegates to Red Deer after the conference. This will enable us to highlight central Alberta and the projects we are involved in. Delegates would be bused to Red Deer and participate in a 3-4 day tour. Activities offered might include the Ponoka Stampede, fellowship group activities, tour of Legacy Wetlands, etc. Details yet to be confirmed. The idea of hosting delegates in our own homes for a meal is also being explored.
