Alberta Legislature In February I took a group of students on field trip on a tour of the Alberta Legislature. If you want to take of a tour of the legislature you only have to contact your MLA and they will put you in touch with their aide to organize a tour of the legislature. I contacted Wayne Cao, Moe Amery, Theres Woo-Pau and Manmeet Bhuller who are MLA's for four different ridings that have large ethnic groups and they welcomed my group to the legislature. All the MLA's turned up at the legislature to have their picture taken with the students. The students were provided with a tour of the legislature buildings, a complimentary lunch in the legislature cafe, and were introduced to the Legislature by Wayne Cao as we sat in the gallery. The members of the house acknowledged our presence by pounding on their desks to welcome our school group who was sitting in the gallery. Our groups name is mentioned in the minutes of the official government document known as Hansard. The students watched question period as the Opposition hammered the government of health care issues and the financial budget. My students who are mostly new Canadians witnessed first hand the democratic process.An interesting feature in the legislature dome are four full grown palm trees that are over forty years old that were grown from seed are living in the dome of the legislature.
