@VIA_Rail And, @VIA_Rail the conductors on the train were also taking care of the ladies, as I watched before we descended at Cobourg, reassuring them of arrival, and making sure they had their luggage carried down to them. Superb morning.

[Julia Drefs @JuliaDrefs]

@VIA_Rail I want to celebrate the Via Rail person at the Kingston stn who came out to help 2 ladies travelling to Cobourg. She came to check their tickets & car #, reassure them about the train, and help them with their luggage. Wonderful service as this busy week begins.

[Julia Drefs @JuliaDrefs]

@VIA_Rail Yes! This morning, as we were boarding the #643 to Cobourg.

Alberta Teachers: grade 8 SS - 1st have students compare and contract Mayan and Aztec terms, revising this chart to represent the Aztecs. Next, have them develop their own chart to represent vocabulary for Japan & isolationism or the Renaissance & expansionism. Thanks @smorrisey
