Canada Olympic Park in Calgary

During the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada Olympic Park was the primary venue for ski jumping, bobsleigh, and luge. I was there this weekend, armed with my handy Calgary neighbourhood map.

This is where Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards represented Great Britain in Olympic ski jumping.

The flags look like they've had better days.

A highlight for me was sitting in the Jamaican bobsled.  A yasso nice!

After a brief visit to Calgary, we drove to Banff and Jasper before heading to Edmonton.  I'll be collecting all of my Alberta entries here.
