Malcolm, you'll find a warm welcome at any mess or legion in Canada with those credentials. Derek.

I just got an email from a member of my history group telling me that the Canadian Rangers are planning the same trip we are, they are hooking up with US forces in Alaska as soon as they cross the border, however I dont think we can be involved with this as it is a military exercise involving CR units from BC, AB, and the Yukon, they are calling it "Northern Trek"

Anyone know if the MVPA has discussed this trip yet? and if so have they made any kind of descision, I would like to get started on planning but need to know how much I need to do.

Thanks

I can talk to Reg Hodgson or Al Nickolson MVPA to see what they have heard . Reg was very active the last time they went up .I'm sure Tourisim in Alberta and BC would be very supportive . George

Hey George

Thanks, that would be great, I hope the MVPA decides to go, I am going to join the group some day as I have a lot of good things about them, I am also going to see about joining "Western Command" so far joining this forum has proved to be very educational and informative.

Haven't posted here recently as I haven't had much to add to what has previously been said. I had a short talk with Dennis on Remembrance Day at the ceremony in the square in Denton. We're getting together for dinner with our wives soon and will be discussing the Alcan Convoy. Dennis did tell me that both he and Terry Shelswell were keen about the convoy in 2012. Those two were the movers and shakers for the Transcontinental Convoy so their interest bodes well for the trip. More as it develops. Derek.
