Honoring a Good Man

This park is across from the LeMarchand Mansion. (yesterday's photo). It is the Grant Notley Park Grant Notley was the leader ot the New Democratic Party in Alberta from 1968-1984. He became the leader of the opposition in the 1982 election and the party was on the rise in popularity when he was killed in a plane crash on Oct. 19,1984.
This park is just a short distance from the Legislature Building and is a very nice place to just sit and relax and take in the view of the river valley.
During the summer it is always a very busy spot. The gazeebo also makes a nice spot for photos and it is usually being used just for that.
Have a great weekend everyone
