RHSC Conference 2005

Symbols of our Heritage

Held for the first time in any of the Prairie provinces, in celebration of the Alberta and Saskatchewan centenary year, the RHSC’s 39th Annual General Meeting and Conference in Edmonton, Alberta, was by all accounts (if not to our accountants) a great success. Following is a selection of photos taken over the four-day event; for more, see this photo gallery.
