Getting to Know Nosehill
Reportedly taking its name from the distinctive (at least if you use a little imagination) nose-like hillsides that surround the area, the Nose Hill Natural Environment Park – as it's officially known – is one of the largest municipal parks in North America. Encompassing 11 square kilometres of native grassland in northwest Calgary, the park was created in 1980 after citizens spoke out against a plan to turn the area into a residential development.

Livingston Cabin
Depending on who you talk to, the answer to the question of "Who is Calgary's first resident?" could produce a few different names. However the most popular answer is settler Sam Livingston.
Irish-born Sam Livingston left his home country at the age of 16 for California, drawn by the 1849 Gold Rush. The Irish youngster didn't make much of his prospecting years as far as gold but he did make many friends and many treks throughout North America.
