Up until recently we were proud to just be known as the birthplace of the 14th overall pick in 1989 NHL Draft. Kevin Haller went on to win a Stanley Cup with that unlikely 1993 Canadiens team. I have a fond memory of standing in line at the local museum that summer to see our local hero and his Stanley Cup ring (don't ask me why he chose not to bring the Cup to his hometown, where he grew up, where he still holds athletic records at the local high school, where his family made their living and still do).
Now, we are probably known as the town who won a competition to have a giant golf tee overlooking the valley in which our course sits. Very visible from Highway 21. Oh, and the fact that Communities in Bloom thought it would be a great idea to replace the grass in our medians with rocks.
Trochu, Alberta. Come work at Sunterra meats, and no where else.
