Take a hop down to Spirit Island
Take a boat cruise down to Spirit Island on Sunday. Departure is at 1:30 sharp! The goal is to fill a boat just with Reunion ’06 members, so book as soon as you can and help us keep our numbers straight. Pat Crowley has given us a special rate of just $25. Old Maligne Tours staff are welcome to grab the mike and do a little nostalgia spiel. For bookings, email Verne at vbalding@town.jasper.ab.ca. He’ll consolidate the list and pass it along.

Search for the Angel Glacier on Sunday
Paula Beauchamp, through her "Walks and Talks Jasper" company, is offering her “Path of the Glacier Walk”. This guided walk to the foot of Angel Glacier on Mount Edith Cavell is both easy and, to those who have not seen Edith Cavell in a while, rather surprising; the Angel is shrinking. Paula has given us the special rate of $15.00/head which includes transportation. Plan on the trip taking 3 1/2 hours, return.
You will meet Paula and the other participants at Edge Control’s new location on Connaught (beside the Brew Pub, a cross from the steam locomotive and the new parking lot) at 10 AM Sunday.
Contact Paula directly at walktalk@incentre.net
