When Kenton Randle isn't in the saddle competing for rodeo purses like the Canadian Finals Rodeo and the Calgary Stampede, he is tending to his cattle on two quarter sections of land in Fort Vermilion with his father.
Riding horses in the arenas and wrangling cows and bulls at his ranch, Randle still finds time to work the winter months in the logging industry.
Randle, from the Paddle Prairie Metis Settlement in northwest Alberta, started in the pro rodeo circuit in 1981 as a bareback and bull rider. Over the years, he has dropped the bull.

It was a cool, crisp day on Nov. 16, like the one exactly 112 years ago when Metis leader, activist and politician Louis David Riel was hanged in Regina.
Over the years, upward of 100 people have gathered, and braved the cold on the front steps of the Alberta Legislature to pay homage to Riel on the anniversary of his death.
