Her birthday is in mid-late September and the party has to be in Sundre. They have a summer place up there and a lot of their friends won't travel to Calgary, even for this party. We have a building that we can rent cheap and there are some pretty good grassy areas around the building.
Mom doesn't golf, and her only major interests at the time are yoga and photography.
Hope this is enough information to get the creative juices at CP flowing. My gf, Dad and I don't have any ideas of what to do that is different from what we did for him.
Thanks!

Well, why does it have to be different? If the slideshow worked for your Dad, and I presume pretty well the same people will be present this time around, nothing wrong with doing it twice. I know you would like it to be unique, but sometimes that is tough.
The other thing I might suggest is you and your family members do a play of your Mom's life, instead of the slide show. BUT, then your family has to be the type who does not mind the limelight

If she is into photography, perhaps have it on display as well. She probably has still lifes as well as family pictures and you could do a nice collage with appropriate write ups for each picture.
