Town of Pincher Creek pinchercreek.ca Pincher Creek was named in 1874 by a patrol of the North West Mounted Police that was surprised to find a horseshoeing tool in the stream bottom. Google “Pincher Creek”; it’s the only one in the world! Village of Cowley albertasouthwest.com/village_of_cowley
Cowley is Canada's first National Soaring Site; the wind lifts sailplanes to record altitudes. Cowley was the fictional town of Signal, WY in Brokeback Mountain, sparking an increase in tourism…in Wyoming! Municipal District of Pincher Creek mdpinchercreek.ab.ca
This is the birthplace of the wind industry in Canada, with the first commercial wind farm built in 1993. The most extreme recorded temperature shift in Canada: January 1962, minus 19° to plus 22° in an hour.
