While approaching August’s Conclusion

I went downtown this morning as I wanted to see what was going on here with this festive traditional celebration was taking place amongst the Ukrainian cultural center. There were several people all out most were Ukraine I guess but it was open to all. Come tomorrow and as well later on today I am sure that this will be huge as within this province the origins of what originally made it up were a mix of English, Scottish, Ukrainians, and Germans. I ran into this one person that was dressed in some sort of traditional attire. He spoke so fast and with a little bit of an accent but I could be corrected but he was wearing the traditional wardrobe of what I would see as being that of a Cossack attire that would go back a few centuries but still I really don’t know. There was this mass taking place just to commence the beginning of these festivities. There after I have always wanted to get a summer view the river, which would include the Bessborough Hotel, so I was fortunate to be able to talk with the Radisson Hotel manager and get to the very top suite within the building, not the rooftop but within this case by way of the presidential suite. Still, I am been looking up and pondering what this one man symbolized. I have look within many areas and think he is a Cossack, but something does tell me otherwise.
While I was within this suite at the Radisson the manager took me over to another room that which was already vacated. And I took a picture from the 18th floor of the other west. And I was able to get what is called the Broadway Bridge as well as the Victoria Bridge. The Victoria bridge which is which is all black, was originally built within the 1800’s. Two years ago the city closed the bridge down for six months as it was deemed unsafe and then they placed in 2 million dollars in preventative maintenance work, which has lasted till recently. The city was going recently is at odds with the people of the city as they wish to tear it down, as it’s has a historical value. So it’s an a situation that will that will be tabled within city hall – however I think that the people will get what they wish as those that are elected into these positions do were voted into office by the people of the city and rather than having there own agenda they will have to consider the cost. Perhaps it’s a case of retaining the old and in some manner building on to this one last historical bridge with something that is new. However it shall be costly never the less. If a the university here can retain and as well build on new buildings by way of federal, provincial monies combined with some that have contributed by way of fundraisers I feel that this can apply within the city as well. As they have a reserve as well as a surplus of monies that have been there in place for the past twenty years.

Back to this one Ukrainian gent that was all dressed up within ancient historical Ukrainian attire I think he was a Cossack yet something tells me he might very well be something else. I am not sure, as I never really looked into the historical areas of Ukrainians.
