From the Globe and Mail and one of Uncle Ron's Favorites (Dean Jobb) a story on another favorite: Nova Scotia Wine.

The Edmonton Campus's Recent URN...

The Edmonton Chapter had a Faculty Meeting. Pictured above is the curriculum... In the words of Don Ron Bill:

we'll post the video on the Facebook page of an amazing dessert recipe they concurred on.....
