101 Places Every Albertan Must See

A handy guide to the province by Dina O' Meara. Plus: Share your Alberta Must and win copy of the book.

There’s something strangely satisfying about lists, both in making them and checking them off. With the current deluge of best-selling books that chart the top movies, places and music you must experience before you die, it may feel like you better get crackin’ if you want to really live.

So take solace that there are only 101 places every Albertan must see, according to Calgary journalist Dina O’Meara’s Alberta Book of Musts. This realistic and doable checklist revisits familiar Alberta icons like the Columbia Icefields, as well as bizarre sights such as the Torrington Gopher Hole Museum and the world’s first municipally-sanctioned UFO landing pad in St. Paul. The 127-page pocketbook is easy to reference and chapters are divided into regions and cities, covering food, the arts, attractions, festivals and events.

Enter here to win a copy of the book by telling us the one thing in Alberta that you think is not to be missed.
