Congratulations to Mary and Bruce Nelson on receiving the Alberta Rose Award, presented at the 2023 Alberta Convention closing ceremony. The award was presented in recognition of all the years of service to the dance community. Mary & Bruce have served on the Executive of Square Dance Clubs they were members of, provided invaluable service to numerous Alberta Conventions in programming the Choreographed Ballroom Dance Halls; have taught & cued at numerous Alberta Conventions as well as several Canadian National Conventions. They have taught round dancing to many folks throughout the years in Alberta. They have also provided committee support and guidance to ROUND-A-LAB, Square & Round Dance Instructors Association of Alberta, Alberta Square & Round Dance Federation, Community Dance Capital District Association, Calgary & District Callers Association and Edmonton & District Callers & Instructors Association. Most recently they provided round dance coverage over Zoom throughout the world, which was especially valuable during the COVID crisis helping many to cope with loneliness. Mary and Bruce received a standing ovation from the audience. Congratulations Mary and Bruce on a job well done!
