A Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City

Just wanted to let you know about an event I'm planning on checking out next week that may be coming to a city near you. It's called A Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City and it is put on by Medicins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders). Here are the dates and locations:

Edmonton: September 18-21 (that's today through Sunday!)
Calgary: September 25-28
Vancouver: October 2-6

The exhibit is a tour that encourages participants to imagine what life would be like in a refugee camp. MSF sets up mock refugee camps in each city. Tours are free and about 40-60 min. long. I think it'll be pretty cool.
