Lloydminster - on the SK/AB borderWelcome to the forum. Where in Western Canada? I have traveled a bit there.
We did have a one day launch in September at an alternate to Sullivan Lake, and Fall Fire (only 20 minutes away) did go off as scheduled in October...Re launches in Western Canada, 2021 was a disaster, COVID, and Fire Bans effectively wiped out Rock Lake, and the normal two day Sullivan Lake High Power launches. Think Fall fire was also cancelled. On the model side, no major launches of note were held for the same reasons. Edmonton Rocket Club has announced Fire and Ice 2022 and AARM 50+2, Calgary Rocketry has announced Sullivan Lake, and their Spring Hanna launch, Lethbridge club has announced Rock Lake , and Airdrie Space Science Club will soon announce it's 2022 meeting and launch schedule. Of course like last year we could still be adversely effected by weather, fire bans or additional COVID (highly unlikely) issues. Welcome!

That is quite a bit north! I have been as far east as Calgary, and as far north as Jasper. December/January '91. I have been further east to places like Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City, PEI, NB etc as well, but that side was more in the fallLloydminster - on the SK/AB border

The Edmonton club is prepping for Fire & Ice near the end of February and fire bans are unlikely when everything is still covered in snow...but it should be a great time...
