I spent the day yesterday campaigning at two branches.  I started downtown at Pender and Hornby from 11:00 to 1:45.  Then I walked over to the Cambie Bridge to the 10th and Cambie branch.

As I walked over the Cambie Bridge I marvelled over the changes in the city in my lifetime.  At the 10th and Cambie branch I met a woman who teaches history and she asked me if I was related to the Sweeneys of Sweeney Cooperage.  The photo is how I remember False Creek when I was a child.  BC Place is now located on the former site of the cooperage.

I decided it was best for me to do my own campaigning and be available to talk with members.  I met some really interesting people at both branches and enjoyed my day.
