I take it that it is not possible to shoot animals from said rock. I

have been there a number of times. It seems to be permanently covered in graffitti. I can only assume that pictures for the Town's website are taken immediately after the anti-graffitti element from the municipality have cleaned it

You are quite mistaken. As many on here will testify, Canadian youths are far too respectful, stay children longer, and are too busy at hockey practice, volunteering, or cleaning their splendid teeth to indulge in such vandalism.

No, similar to the theory that the Queen thinks the world smells of fresh paint, the good burghers of Okotoks try to make the sizeable British population feel at home by carefully applying grafitti to their public monuments.

I've been there a few times (well three times) it's great for photography if you're into urban exploration. And mmm you can take a vintage streetcar type thing to some other place on the grounds, and there's an ice cream stand that opens sometimes.

My favourite places in Ontario are the Barber Paper mill in Georgetown and the gorge at Elora...

Visit the centre of the universe. It's just down the road from Kamloops, $10 gets you to meditation central:

beaten to it

Not really an attraction but if you are ever out travelling and looking for somewhere to stay near Cache Creek BC, try Bears Claw Lodge. It is just before the start of Highway 99. NW from Kamloops, where highway 97 & 97C meet.

It is a family run wooden lodge and the design was inspired by their kids.

I can strongly recommend that no-one ever stops at the Chiniki Village craft-shop and restaurant on the TransCanada between Calgary and Canmore.

If we are suggesting places not to go..I'd suggest the Big Apple near Trenton, Ontario and Marineland in Niagara Falls.

Yes i've just thought of somthing in AB

It's the gopher museum in torrington

Lots of little dead gophers distastefully dressed up in all manner of costumes for the viewing pleasure of the public.

Awesome

My favourite post for ages

Going to contradict you there, you actually eat when you get to Big Valley, the train robbery happens on the way - and they do expect money (for cahrity).

I made the mistake of doing that once. I love the fact the restaurant only appears to be open between 10:00 a.m. and 10:01 a.m. each day. They are, of course, such a happy bunch all their guests just love 'em.

Having realised that the things Canadians say about First Nations' businesses may be complete shite, we headed to the Casino resort a wee bit further west. Suffice to say, we will never grace a First Nations' eatery ever again.

lol cheers for the clarification, not been on it yet - it's one of those things we keep saying "oh we'll go on one of those" and then don't This year I promise

You stole the idea from me, I was just about to post that one

I've never been but every time I see pictures they just crack me up
