Online Virtual Tour Takes You Inside The Alberta Legislature:
Need something to do this Summer! Come take a virtual tour to the Legislature where I work. A new, groundbreaking online project brings visitors into the Alberta Legislature through their home or classroom computer. Step Inside the Alberta Legislature is an engaging, three-dimensional online experience that features customizable characters, as well as interactive educational activities. Users can tour the Legislature Building on their own, with a tour guide, or within a group by visiting www.virtualvisit.learnalberta.ca. The Virtual Visit replicates the layout, scale, lighting and finishes of the Alberta Legislature Building. Online visitors will experience a virtual tour that allows them to look around and move as if in the real world. The project aligns with Alberta's curriculum, and also enhances the School-at-the-Legislature program. More educational features are expected to be added over the next year. The Virtual Visit is available in both English and French and can be accessed via the Internet.

Spring Session 2006: The spring sitting of the Alberta Legislature wrapped up on May 18, following the passage of 41 bills. Key among them was Bill 1, Alberta Cancer Prevention Legacy Act and amendments to the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act. This was the Honourable Premier Ralph Klein’s last attendance in session and he was highly recognized and congratulated for his 17 years of service to Albertans, as MLA, cabinet minister and Premier.

A special thanks to the constituents who have taken the time to write to me on various Alberta issues. Your thoughtful and well expressed ideas keep Alberta moving towards an even brighter future
