Didn't see this discussed anywhere else in the thread, but a big thumbs-up to the display of crosses on the north side of Memorial drive near center street. If you haven't driven by, there are literally hundreds of crosses erected there, honouring Calgarians who died in the course of duty. It's great to see Memorial Drive actually being used as a memorial rather than it just being the name of a road.

However, a minor thumbs down to whoever felt that it was necessary to erect a metal fence (the sort they use around construction sites) between the road and the crosses. It's far enough back there isn't any danger of anyone running off of memorial and into the display, and it would look far classier without the fence.
