- Buying POGS at the Red Rooster just off of Bow Trail as you head up the hill to Strathcona/Coach Hill.
- Elementary school field trips to Butterfield Acres farm when it was well outside the city. Now I believe it's somewhere between Rocky Ridge and 12 Mile Coulee Rd.
- As an off shoot, when Invermere BC was still a quiet weekend getaway location where you could find calm water on the lake at 2:00pm on a weekend. Ever since the Calgary economic boom spilled over in the form of numerous gargantuan "cottages" and overcrowding the place hasn't been the same.
