    Default Ottawa, Ontario... Canada?

    What would it take for the SS coaches to justify a trip to the Nation's Capital?

    Note that we have many beers and French women nearby.

    Thanks

    You would have to repeat Farley Mowat's classic, The Dog Who Wouldn't Be, from memory first.

    Toronto is a smooth four hour drive from Ottawa. We were just up there in July. You should have come to the seminar. I got to visit Montreal, but didn't do any coaching there after the seminar. I will likely be in Calgary in a few months, but that's not terribly close to you.

    I'd drive to Toronto, but missed the one that just passed.

    What you're saying is: Wait.

    Yep. Toronto did not sell out. In fact, we did not even get 15 to sign up. Places that sell well, like NYC, are more attractive. We may be back to Toronto next year, but probably not before then.

    That's sweet news! I'm in Calgary. Where would I watch for this?

    Thanks,

    That sucks

    I was at the seminar two years ago and it seemed like it was packed.

    Yep. We were surprised, too.

    I'm guessing there was a timing issue there. I really wanted to go, but was up at the cottage. I gave my wife the choice of having me come back for the seminar, or spend airfare and hotels to attend one later. She choose to keep me at the cottage.

    Now, if only the government will get my passport back to me, I'll book something into Westminster.

    But if I was in charge of scheduling a seminar in Canada again, I wouldn't pick a Canadian holiday weekend --FWIW.

    Hey Tom,

    Just catching up on this thread. If you're holding a camp in Calgary, does that mean you're not likely to come back to Vancouver in the fall?
