    An invitation to a Western Canada meet & greet

    Consider yourselves invited to Westiva 2016.

    Primarily aimed at owners of the Ford Festiva and Aspire we would like to extend an invitation to owners of other econoboxes from the same era. We had two Swifts/Metros join us a couple of years ago. Other Mazda family members would be welcome as well!

    You will see Festivas with a B6T, a BP and a SOHC B6!!! There will also be a one owner 1990 Festiva LX!

    When: Saturday July 16th, 2016
    Where: Wedge Pond, Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada (about a one hour drive from Calgary's western city limits. Use "Wedge Pond Kananaskis, AB" when searching on Google maps.)
    What: Meet and greet at the pond in the morning. After our picnic lunch we'll take an afternoon cruise to grab an ice cream cone at Boulton Creek Store. This is 40km (25 mile) drive mostly along Highway 40.

    Lets see if we can make it back into double digits this year! We had 4 Festivas in '08, 5 in '09, 10 in '10, 5 in '11 and 4 Festivas and a Subaru Vivio in 2012, four Festivas, two Suzuki Swifts, and one lifted Kia Sportage in 2014.

      Two weeks to go!!!!! Long range forecast is calling for sunny skies and a high of 20ºC/68ºF.


      This is a shot taken from the top of "the Wedge" by my son while we were enjoying Westiva 2011!

      Looking forward to another great event.
