Trips to the Royal Alberta Museum and Fort Edmonton are planned with guided tours of each.
The evening is free.

The Museum given the “Royal” designation in 2005 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. The occasion was her visit to Alberta, as we celebrated the 100 year anniversary of becoming a province of Canada, The museum is where history comes alive with exhibits of Aboriginal culture, natural history and Alberta habitats.  New exhibits are introduced regularly.

As a feature attraction, Fort Edmonton Park represents four distinct time periods, exploring Edmonton's development from a fur trade post in the vast Northwest, to a booming metropolitan centre after the First World War. The park features over 75 structures many of which are the originals. Costumed interpreters operate the site and live the way of the past. Exploring each building, each room, and talking to the 'inhabitants' makes for an extremely enjoyable visit.

Ambassadors will be treated to a daylong trip to the Alberta Badlands. Visit Drumheller where the dinosaurs roamed. Enjoy the scenic bus ride with an experienced guide as you set out to enjoy some of Alberta’s countryside before landing in the ‘Badlands.’  Rolling fields suddenly give way to steep, dry coulees ridged with the strata of hundreds of years of erosion by time, wind and water.

Drumheller, the Dinosaur Capital of Canada, is in the Heart of the Canadian Badlands in Southern Alberta.  The Drumheller Valley offers visitors a unique combination of spectacular scenery and interesting sights and will include a visit to the Royal Tyrrell Museum
You will be arriving back in Edmonton later in the evening. 

Visit and tour of a nearby Hutterite Colony.  Lunch will be served.
We have several Hutterite Colonies in Alberta. They moved to the U.S.A. and Canada to escape religious persecution.

The Hutterites originated in 1528 in Moravia as a branch of the Anabaptists. They were named for Jacob Hutter, who was their leader from 1533 until 1536 when he was burned at the stake. Since coming to North America from Eastern Europe in the late 1800's, the Hutterites have established more than 300 colonies in the United States and Canada. 

For those of you who went to Drumheller on Monday, today you will be visiting the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village.  Edmonton has a population of over 300,000 people of Ukrainian ancestry. Today we will head east of Edmonton where many pioneering Ukrainians settled. The Village is a journey through their history from 1892-1930.

For those who took the trip to the Ukrainian Village on Monday, you’re off to Drumheller today.

Where has the time gone? You will have the morning free to catch up on last minute visiting or sight seeing or preparation for your next stop but around Noon the Farewell catered dinner will be served.  The afternoon will include entertainment and a representative from our world famous R.C.M.P. – Royal Canadian Mounted Police.  A short history of how the ‘west was settled’ and then time for pictures with the ‘Mountie’ in their scarlet uniform.
