Given the strong maritime contingent here, I guess it's no surprise that bagpipes have made their way north too. This is the NWT Pipe Band, which led the Alzheimer's fund raising walk this afternoon.
The band only has about seven pipers and three drummers, but they're well turned out. I participated in the 3.5 km walk from the senior's centre to the legislature and back.
Money raised will go towards a centre for people with dementia. As it stands now, people who need institutional care are sent to Alberta.
On my way back I saw this woman with her blue-eyed lab. Clearly he's got some husky genes in him.
