That Muttart Conservatory looks really interesting. I would love to go there. Speaking of plant collections and the Toronto Zoo, On the many tours that I have taken there, they always point out that their indignous (to the various ecological zones) plant collection is by far more valuable than their animal collection.

A couple of my friends who were in Film Studies landed jobs there as film archivists. Another friend was (and I think still is) a programmer for the film archives screenings. At one point I gave serious thought to following their example... instead I followed my girlfriend (now wife) back to Toronto.

very cool. Is this all film? is there a move to convert to digital and perhaps make it available to the public via web access?

We're richer for it.
You should be able to guess the city in this photo pretty easily, but I'd like either the name of the (awesome) event, or the name of the venue.

awesome.
I have to say, this thread is educational, AND fun! *it's very neat to see how cities such as Winnipeg, Calgary have changed since I last drove through them circa 1984...

Right kind of event - wrong town. Look closer.

It's Edmonton. The Muttart Conservatory is visible in the background.
So the Edmonton Folk Festival. EDIT - Damn. Skier beat me to the punch...

That's right Skier. And good eye Martian!
I've been to it twice and it's truly a magical musical experience. Game on...

I can't imagine there are too many Canadians who couldn't get that one... but how many have actually been there?

I have family in Sudbury. I've seen that damn thing in person.. for some reason I didn't think it was all too impressive.
I've rarely been out of Ontario, but I've seen a lot of the towns that are here. Eventually something was going to click.
