Prince William and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge visit Slave Lake, AB

Bert Crowfoot was assigned to record the 2011 Royal visit of Prince William and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, at Slave Lake, Alberta on July 6th. While in Slave Lake the royals toured the fire-damaged regions of the town and then met with some of the residents who had been displaced. More than 40% of the town was destroyed by wildfires on May 15th. The fires caused the evacuation of all 7,000 residents of the town for more than 3 weeks.
