A little off topic, but looking at your map, I noticed that 'Festuburt' is the name of the area where the Grey Eagle Casino is. I've never heard of it before, but thanks to Google Maps and Google Search, now I know it's named after a town in France where there was a battle involving Canadian troops in World War I. It makes sense given the significance of the military that trained in the area and the white regiment numbers on the hill by Sarcee.

It's nice to learn something once in a while...
I've tried to get that Festuburt "neighbourhood" name removed from Google maps for a long time... That area was never named as such. All the old streets at the army barracks there were named after battle sites, and one of them was Festuburt Avenue, but the area as a whole was never called that.
