Thanksgiving
I recently invited a Chinese family who have been in Canada for only two months to spend Thanksgiving dinner with my cousins in the country. Here are 19 things we did that day that I took for granted but they were experiencing for the first time:
1. Seeing the Rocky Mountains
2. Seeing large hay bales in the foothills
3. Seeing cattle roaming in the fields
4. Entering Kananaskis Park and seeing a forest of firs and aspens
5. Hiking along a forest trail
6. Seeing trail riders on horses
7. Seeing white-tailed deer
8. Seeing a mountain river and skipping rocks
9. Fishing in the river
10. Sitting around a campfire and poking the logs
11. Roasting marshmallows
12. Making a smores from graham wafers, nuttal and marshmallows
13. Eating garden grown tomatoes
14. Eating turkey and stuffing
15. Sharing a Thanksgiving dinner with other Canadians
16. Riding a tandem bicycle in the mountains
17. Finding a maple leaf
18. Setting off rockets
19. Using a knife and fork instead of chopsticks

Hunting Season In Alberta
From September until December, residents of Alberta are allowed to purchase bird game licenses to hunt waterfowl and upland game birds. Big Game animals such as elk, moose, white tail deer, sheep,
Big Horn Sheep, and antelope may be hunted in wildlife zones known as WMU's or Wild Life Management zones. In some WMU's only people who have picked in a draw in June may hunt big game animals in specified WMU's. There are general hunting areas for white-tail deer that do not require a special draw because there is such an abundance of white-tail deer. There are more white-tail deer in North America today than was present when the first white settlers arrived in America. There is also a special draw for Wild turkeys. Canadians from outside Alberta are classified as non-resident hunters. Foreign hunters are classified as non-resident aliens. Hunters who do not live in Alberta must pay higher license fees for the privilege of hunting the animals.
On Thanksgiving Day, I decided to take a drive in the country to view the habitat where the hunters of mule deer, moose, elk and white-tail deer will be from November 1st to November 30.
As I stopped along a country road classified as parkland habitat, it reminded me of the topography one would see in a game park in South Africa but instead of deer or moose one would see elephants, giraffes, spring bok, gazelles, zebras and wildebeests. Unlike the African animals who roam in large herds in the scrubland, the Elk, Moose, and deer hide in the aspen thickets and only venture out into the open just as twilight approaches. With my camera in hand , I snapped a few photos of cow elk that I saw at an elk farm that sells the velvet horns to Asian markets.
