Report on the Third Annual PIMS Industrial Problem Solving Workshop (1100 words) |
 | Backed by seven Western universities, PIMS is able to draw on its 300 members in more than 15 departments to achieve a critical mass for workshops like this one that would be impossible for any one institutions to successfully run. |
 | Students attending these workshops are exposed to a new paradigm in research, one that involves working on the full spectrum from theoretical to practical all in one problem. |
 | Graduate student participants came from the University of Victoria, the University of Alberta, the University of British Columbia, the University of Calgary, Simon Fraser University, the University of Montreal, the University of Regina, the University of Toronto, and the University of Western Ontario. |

Alberta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4113 words) |
 | Alberta is the leading beekeeping province of Canada, with some beekeepers wintering hives indoors in specially designed barns in southern Alberta, then migrating north during the summer into the Peace River valley where the season is short but the working days are long for honeybees to produce honey from clover and fireweed. |
 | Alberta also has a large Hutterite population, a communal Anabaptist sect similar to the Mennonites, and a significant population of Seventh-day Adventists in and around the Lacombe area due to the presence of the Canadian University College. |
 | Central and northern Alberta and the region farther north is the nesting-ground of the migratory birds. |
