Well there ya go. I get smarter everyday. I knew I shouda looked it up. I suspect I did somewhere along the line. Might have been pre wiki page (or even pre wiki)
Not trying to save face. Know I looked it up somewhere along the line.
Poop on everyone who thinks Wikipedia is a less reliable source than traditional encyclopedias. It's wrong a lot, bit so were the old ones.
Still not sure the design on the flag is anything more than a cowboy hat. Hey, but if the current flag is also a symbol for the wild rose, more power to it.
Thinking about it, I remember being taught of the multiple meanings and symbols within the Calgary '88 logo. There's like a dozen of them in there. So maybe evman did see something on the flag most of is missed.
