Arnprior, Canada
There was a decent crowd there waiting for us when we arrived. One of them was Gary Strike, or "Mr. Canada" as he is known to some. He used to be a City Councillor, and is now involved in various projects, one of which involves tracing the outline of the Canadian flag onto a plain white flag, and then having people sign their names in red ink on the flag's edges and inside the leaf, so that from a distance it looks like the Canadian flag. It's meant as a tribute to remember the victims of 9/11. He's working on one now to present to the mayor of New York City on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy this September.
The local paper, the Carleton Place/Almonte Canadian Gazette, was there as well and we did the usual photos and interview.
As we were driving out of town, we got an email from a lady who had punched in a wrong address we had given her into her GPS, and of course couldn't find us. We apologized and arranged to meet with her somewhere else. Just as we pulled over to meet her, her daughter and grand-daughter, another family walked up to us as well. In fact, it was almost an entire extended family - grandparents, their children, and grandchildren were all there. We got a great photo with the two families.
One lady, Marlene Black, is actually an editor for the Landowner magazine, which focusses on "rural politics, rural businesses, and rural families."
