Edmonton is lighting up the bridge!
The High Level bridge will be lit up in the colors of the Latvian flag on November 18th, from 4:20 pm to midnight, in celebration of Latvia’s centenary. This photo above is an illustration only. We have been assured the lights will be horizontally striped using the appropriate color of red. Mark this on your calendars and come out to see for yourselves!
Plans are afoot. We are organizing a meet up of whoever wants to join in. We will meet at the western end of the parking lot of the Terrace Building on the Legislature grounds at 6:00 pm on Sunday, November 18th to get a good view of the lights. From there we could meet up at Beer Revolution in Oliver Square, 11736 – 104 Ave. Better parking options, something for everyone on the menu. Stop in for a visit and a drink! We hope to see you there! #Latvia100
