There was a Corvette show this past weekend in Calgary as part of the Canada Council Of Corvette Club weekend events. Next weekend is scheduled for Edmonton and then 3 weeks from now in Edmonton again. Then Regina for the labour day weekend in September.
There will also be two days of slalom racing in Vancouver in mid-August
These event weekends consist of concours shows, street rallyes and slalom racing as well as banquets and good friends.

I live in Langley BC....see you at the events.

Corvette Corner in Edmonton is worth a try when you are trying to find parts.

Thanks for the kind words. As there are very few Corvettes over here you folks are the only ones I can mingle with and enjoy the experience.

Close. It's "Alberta Bound" by Stompin' Tom Connors (I think).

Alberta bound
Alberta bound
It's good to be
Alberta boooound!!!

That's only because his back was sore from picking tobacco in Tillsonburg.
(And no one under the age of 40 in Canada knows what the heck I'm talking about...the old farts do.)
