Perhaps the province’s centennial shouldn’t just be about big “official” events with glitzy marketing campaigns (“Alberta’s centennial too low-key,” Editorial, June 29)

Maybe a series of small, unrelated activities around the province isn’t such a bad thing after all.

The North Edmonton Sculpture Workshop is presenting an Alberta Centennial Sculpture Exhibition, free to the public, at the Royal Alberta Museum until Sept. 30. We’d love to have a budget to promote this show all over the province and even the world, but we don’t. Nevertheless, it’s the quality of the show that counts, so if even only a handful of people take the time to check out the exhibit, it will still be worthwhile.

It seems to me this is the true spirit of Alberta: we might be short on flash, but we’re long on substance.
