Our grandson, Duncan Sutherland, who is attending College of the Rockies at Cranbrook, B.C., is really enjoying his studies in kinesiology and playing on the Avalanche men’s volleyball team. They are playing some exhibition games in Red Deer, Alta., the weekend of Sept. 25-26 and his family are going out to watch him play. The team starts playing in the PACWEST college league at the end of October when they travel to Vancouver and play Capilano and Douglas teams.
