Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden, Lethbridge AB
Established during Canada’s Centennial in 1967, Nikka Yuko was built to recognize contributions made by citizens of Japanese ancestry to the multi-cultural community of Lethbridge, Alberta, and as a symbol of international friendship. Its name was created from the Japanese words Ni (from Nihon meaning Japan), ka from Kanada or Canada, and Yuko, which translates as "friendship" to mean “Japan-Canada friendship”.' We will drive to Coaldale which is about ten minutes east of Lethbridge to check out the Birds of Prey Centre. You will be allowed to get up close to many of the birds so bring your camera. There are also flying displays of the larger birds. We will likely spend a few hours here. After a short lunch break, we will then drive back to Lethbridge to stroll through the Japanese Gardens. It may still be early for spring blossoms but it looks like a neat place anyway. We will spend an hour or two here. After that we will return to Calgary. I hope to be back in town by 5:00 or so. This trip may be cancelled in the event of bad weather. | |||||||
