It was "emergency preparedness" day or something - fire trucks, HazMat units, ambulances, tanks ... all kinds of things.<br /><br />Apologies for the crappy picture quality, but my wife has our real camera in Banff this weekend on a band trip with my older daughter. (And sorry about the thumb.)<br /><br />Meanwhile, the younger daughter was thrilled to see helicopters in person.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mjenkinson/2480943717/" title="0510081423a by mjenkinson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2269/2480943717_e8d9f5bb09_o.jpg" width="320" height="240" alt="0510081423a" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mjenkinson/2481703098/" title="0510081422 by mjenkinson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2165/2481703098_2eefebe34d_o.jpg" width="320" height="240" alt="0510081422" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mjenkinson/2480889031/" title="0510081423 by mjenkinson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2014/2480889031_8c4d7c54de_o.jpg" width="320" height="240" alt="0510081423" /></a><br /><br />While at the park, I also got the chance to chat with Tory MP Rahim Jaffer and Edmonton Mayor Steve Mandel.
