Got some good news today from Lacombe, a city of 13057 people, that is 126km South of my home in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. The "Lacombe &District Historical Society" is interested in a demonstration/talk related to the AMBROTOS KANATA wet plate photography project. It is early days and there are many things up in the air right now but the demonstration might take place in 2022 during their annual Lacombe Days (end of July) or Culture and Harvest Festivals (end of Sept) at the "Lacombe Flatiron Building".
More details to follow!!
I would like to thank the "Lacombe&District Historical Society" for this opportunity to tell stories, to show the work and to share the wonder and beauty of traditional photography.

Here is a bit of information the historic Flatiron building in Lacombe.

The Flatiron building in Lacombe is the first of two flatirons to have been be built in Alberta. It was built in 1904 and served as the Merchants Bank of Canada until 1922 when it became the Bank of Montreal. For over a century, the infamous ‘flatiron block’ was home to many businesses in the community. Almost 100 years after the building was erected, it was privately bought and renovated. Today, the main floor and basement of this landmark is home to Lacombe Regional Tourism. Lacombe Regional Tourism is stocked full of information on things to do around the area along with a gift shop showcasing local product.
