St. John Ambulance Marks 100 Years in Manitoba

Today we attended a ceremony celebrating 100 years of the St John Ambulance in Manitoba. A few therapy dog teams were selected to attend to represent the >100 therapy dog teams in the province. There were three parts to the day: 1) attending the official presentation in the provincial Legislature building 2) a celebration luncheon in the courtyard 3) a photoshoot around the new St John Ambulance flower garden on the legislature grounds. Of course all the dogs were fantastic, and really were great ambassadors for the therapy dog program. The hardest part of the day was dealing with the heat! It hit 37.0 oC today. The photographer was a little slow, so we had to spend quite a bit of time waiting, in the heat and direct sun! It was too much to take for a human in black pants, never mind a dog in a fur coat!

It was fun bringing Farrah into the Provincial Legislature. When you walk in, there are 2 giant bison at the bottom of the great stairs, so of course we snapped a photo there. We also took a couple shots around the legislature fountains after it was all said and done.
