SUBMISSION PERIOD IS ALMOST OVER...

It is hard to decide when to stop but sadly this decision has to be made - a lot of work is still needed before the official unveiling planned for the 2016 Winnipeg Congress.

All of you who have read the timeline know that representatives from all provinces and territories are to receive their specific submissions in the coming weeks. From this selection process, a Collection for each province and territory will be produced and showcased on the to be updated 2015 Portfolio web site...

BUT I CAN'T KEEP MYSELF FROM INVITING THE ONES THAT COULD STILL PARTICIPATE IN THE 2015 EDITION OF THE PORTFOLIO.

I AM LEAVING FOR A WEEK AND I WILL SEND ALL SUBMISSIONS TO THE COMPONENT ASSOCIATIONS ON MY RETURN. SO I AM READY TO BE SURPRISED ON MY RETURN WITH TONS OF NEW SIGNIFICANT LANDSCAPE IMAGES AND TEXTS.
