I was born in Calgary and grew up there. Many years later I taught in the University of Lethbridge theatre department for two years.

Banff, Calgary, Drumheller, Edmonton, Fort McLeaod, Grande Prairie, High River, Jasper, Lake Louise, Lethbridge, Okotoks, Red Deer.

[edit] British Columbia

I have spent most of my life there. I have had the pleasure of seeing quite a bit of this amazing province because I was a touring actor in a childrens' theatre company where we did about 200 performances over most of a year. We toured our shows to schools all over the interior and as far north as the Alaskan panhandle. We went to some communities with no roads, you had to fly in by float plane (packing set, props and costumes along!!).

Montreal was a great revelation the first time I went, but taking a road trip to the many smaller towns, especially down south, near the border to Vermont, you really see that mix of French and English heritage.

[edit] Nevada

Friends of mine used to live in Las Vegas, I visited a few times and had the rare experience of what it is like to actually live in a suburb of Vegas. Since then all my trips have been the normal show/casino/convention type.
