How about John Glenn, he was the first non native man in Calgary. Built the first irrigation ditch in all of Alberta using this to farm all kind of crops. He was here two years before the the RCMP. He built the chimneys in Fort Calgary was a farmer and stone mason. Years ago there was a billboard in Midnapore stating home of John Glenn as his farm was in the fish creek area.

Plus he was my great, great, great grandfather.
