Eric,

Interesting you should suggest that location because last week Leica office
in Toronto asked about doing something next year in Lake Louise,  just down
the road from Banff. Similar mountain country only better.

snow cones and seal meat! :-)

Gee whiz Eric don't scare them off, at least we cook it for visitors ! :) 

We have started making flavoured snow cones: Scotch for "real Leica
photographers who shoot black & white!"  Schnapps for the Leica M
collectors!" And after dinner,"Leica Kirsch on Snow cone!":)

And for the occaision of the Great Canadian Leica Seminar we'll have a
world class German-Canadian chef do "reindeer roast ala Bavaria!"

For a number of  LUGNUTS who haven't been up here, our  beer is very
special, 6-8 % good northern brew! Most drink the "ICE BEER!" goes with the
territory.   As those crazy fun loving TV Canadian MacKenzie brothers can
attest to eh? :)

Who knows where this will go, now that you broached the Canadian scene!
I'll pass your comments along, as they had discussed a serious intention
for '98.

We'll try to hit a warm spell for you southern folks, between our twice a
year ice ages. Don't worry about cold weather in any event,  because of
free trade we now donate  "emergency survival kits" to our American friends
coming north. But in July and August they are mosquite proofed as well!:)

And if you are doing any shooting, remember it's only "cameras!" :) The
Mounties do't take to kindly to "guns across the border!":) Hands is OK!:)
