Changes and Challenges

Once again, I write this article after surviving a hectic and challenging schedule through September and October. We have attended three Association conferences and in addition I participated in the Travelling Board trip during the first week of October.

The Association “Presidents Tour” resumed in September when we attended the Association of Manitoba Land Surveyors Annual General Meeting in Winnipeg. The AGM was held from September 13 - 14. It was preceded on September 12 by a visiting delegates tour of some of the notable sites of Winnipeg. The highlight was a guided tour of the Manitoba Legislature. It was a fascinating tour that described many of the mysteries of the building including references to the superstitions and symbolism of the Freemasons. The most fantastic of the many theories advanced by scholars and historians is that the Arc of the Covenant resides somewhere in the building. It has yet to be found.
