There are a few changes in the Itinerary for the visit of the Grand Falls Band to Edmonton. The main changes are dealing with the trip to Calgary. The concert will now be outside at one of the other Army facilities and we will be going to the Calgary Zoo :-) If any other changes need to be made I will update the blog ASAP.
