Well we have arrived in Athabasca and as usual the red carpet has been rolled out and we couldn't help but walk right in on it! After a Buffalo tour on the way over from Whitecourt (which was awesome thanks Neil) and an opportunity to restock the teams buffalo jerky supply we arrived at the conference in time to register and grab some dinner, more drinks and some last minute work on our presentation!
The following Day (Friday) was our big day where we got to do our presentation to the conference. The team pulled together beautifully and put together a really good presentation which was very well recieved. We threw in some good humour, spoke about ourselves and our GSE experience and even got some laughs at the expence of the Canadians. Lucky their sense of humour is as good as ours. For sure the highlight of the day was the Rotary's Got Talent Quest which was held after supper. Of course our awesome GSE team had to be involved and Tim and Kylie did an acoustic performance of Greendays "time of your life". Kylie even wrote a verse about the GSE which brought a tear to the eye of more than one of us. Unfortunately we didn't win but we managed to raise some serious $$ for the Slave Lake fire recovery effort. We had such a fun day and really enjoyed bumping into all the friends we have made along the way. Very sad we are going to have to say good bye and it is all going to end soon. :-(
