Diary: Cycle lanes dinner social and planned visits:


   

~~I elaborate on the new cycle lanes and report on my dinner social with Juliet.~~

Yesterday was quite rainy until after supper time, but the moisture was quite welcome for our earth bound life companions! Another important event was the opening of Calgary’s experimental cycle track along 12th Ave SW from 11th street west to McLeod, I presume or further east possibly.

It was well publicised and received much comment, mostly appreciative and more such cycle lanes are to come.

It was well publicised and received much comment, mostly appreciative and more such cycle lanes are to come. The first trial section is along 7th street SW from 2nd ave to the tracks on 7th ave has been in place for about a year. It is built with fixed curbs, bike lights and solid green car crosses. The present curbs are all removable and use patched green car cross sections. A smart solution I would say, not too costly and providing safe passage for the cyclists.

My visit with Juliet went as expected. I brought the requested groceries from which I made a green salad for dinner later on. But first came Juliet’s new written section of her story, the computer transcription of which took us to supper time.

After our nice dinner and salad (!), I explained how she can charge her camera from the laptop and down loaded the found camera pictures for her. Windows 8.1 does not seem to have a good native photo package, like Windows . I also have two older cameras of Juliet that I’ll take to London Drugs for assessment.

This aft a visit to John and a stop by the book store on the way, where I want to find out whether I can order a copy of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC) report.

From the reports in the media I gather that children were taken away into school custody for seven generations until 1996 as I mentioned some time ago. I suspect that there are other similar items that have not made it into the news coverage.



Writings: Canadas Colonial legacy introduced:


   

~~A consideration of the residential school programme effects as a starting statement.~~

The question arises as to where the parenting skill were to come from for the later Indian Native adults, being exposed as they were to residential school abuse by adult teachers for about ten years in their youth? That abusive treatment became the way to cope with your own unruly children as the Native People raised their own families.

That abusive treatment became the way to cope with your own unruly children as the Native People raised their own families.

This process carried on from before Canada’s confederation in 1876 going all the way back to the first church residential school in then French Canada ca 1760. <8:38am, time for a paper stroll as the sun beckons me with its shine!
