In this issue...
Summer has flown by in a haze of activity that is unusual for this position—I usually take a summer hiatus, but not so this year! A great deal of time and attention went into funding proposals/re- ports, activities which under ordinary circumstances usually take place at other times of the year!

Whatever sort of work you are engaged in, one way to become really in- spired and motivated is to attend a national level conference. You have the opportunity to meet, greet and rub shoulders with others who are equally excited about the issue that concerns you and are facing similar challenges. It is also a chance to garner new information or see things through the eyes of another per- son or encounter someone who has come up with an inspiring way of dealing with things that you hadn’t thought of.

The lousy — cool, wet — summer has turned into a pleasant, lingering fall. We spent a lot of time on the road during the summer months and saw how well the yellow toadflax, nodding thistle, and several other invasives did in the damp conditions.
We also heard reports from far and near that things that hadn’t been seen in such numbers in years were springing up all over. The dormancy of seeds waiting for the right conditions was pretty evident wherever we went.

Summer is fast slipping away and becoming "history" for another year! Trust it has been a productive year for everyone on the frontlines of weed management and control. We continue to promote the Weed Wise Gardening brochure and facilitating regional weed meetings.
This issue of The Invader carries lots of information on what has been happening in Alberta, including the new Alberta Weed Control Act being proclaimed and new weeds being discovered in the province. Also contains information on the national media attention given to Giant Hogweed as a result of the Media Release issued by the National Invasive Alien Species Working Group.
AIPC is "growing up" as a resource for media. Expect good things to continue to happen for the future.
Enjoy the rest of summer, be back to you again in the fall.
