    A day at Heritage park Calgary AB

    These are a couple of pics from Heritage park in Calgary AB. It's a huge historical park. One of my favourite places in Calgary.

    My wife and I enjoying one of the Big Rock Brewery beers brewed specifically for the park. Not quite my taste, I prefer Stout myself but it was good none the less.

    If you're ever in Calgary Canada, and have any interest in Early Canadian history, I highly recommend a visit to the park. (Calgary was named after Calgary Bay on the Isle of Mull Scotland in 1876 by Lieutenant-Colonel James Farquharson Macleod of the North West Mounted Police)
