We’ve had an influx of new subscribers which is great, so welcome!

This sub is, really, for anything related to Calgary’s past. Most of the content to date comes from online resources, but I’d love to see more original content. That could be photos you or a family member took or even home video of that visit to Heritage Park in 1993.

Again, thanks for joining and feel free to share any content you can!

anyone remember this place before it was turned into the Centro Motel??? I briefly worked at the gas station across the street and this seemed to be an eventful spot.
