It was somewhere between the Hawaiian Garden Centre and the Queen Elizabeth Hwy on Lake St. if that helps 😃 . Btw, since you use the term Rodd Hill for your user name, doesn’t that mean you lived in Colwood ? Fort Rodd Hill was a great place for Canada Day celebrations as I remember. ---

I loved Canmore. I couldn’t ever live in a small town like that again after living here, though. Maybe we’ll buy a place out there. Edit: Dad lived in Wainwright and Cold Lake (Army) so I have lived in those places for summers, but I don’t count them. ---
