Attendees at the fourth annual Calgary Kilt Skate were serenaded by a Gaelic choir and bagpipes as they braved the chilly –20 C weather with bare knees peeking out beneath their tartans. "We're basically celebrating Canadian heritage," said event organizer David Aftergood. A bagpiper regales skaters at the Calgary Kilt Skate on Sunday. Six other communities across Canada participated in the event this year: Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Alexandria, Ont. The event was originally started in Ottawa to celebrate Sir John A. Macdonald's bicentennial.
