Teepee Official MarkBy far, Medicine Hat’s most visible landmark is the Saamis Tepee!

Originally constructed for the Calgary 1988 Winter Olympics, the Saamis Tepee is a tribute to Canada’s native heritage. Built entirely of steel with a concrete foundation, the tepee is ringed with 10 large circular story-boards depicting aspects of native culture and history. Below the Saamis Tepee in scenic Seven Persons coulee, lays one of the Northern Plains archaeological sites - the Saamis Archaeological Site. This self-guided walking tour will show you one of the foremost important archaeological sites of the Northern Plains. The area was once a buffalo camp and meat processing site. Experts believe over 83 million artifacts are buried at the site.

The city of Toronto, Ontario at night...the tall structure is called the CN Tower and the domed building beside it used to be called the Skydome but has since been bought by Rogers Communications and is now called Rogers Centre.

For the daredevil's...one can do the skywalk on the outer deck of the CN Tower. Won't catch me doing it though. laugh

Hiya LG wave They'd have to pay me to do that but if someone wants to do it, it's $175. laugh
The skywalk is the world’s highest full circle hands-free walk on a 5 ft (1.5 m) wide ledge encircling the top of the Tower’s main pod, 356m/1168ft (116 storeys) above the ground. Visitors walk in groups of six, while attached to an overhead safety rail via a trolley and harness system. Trained EdgeWalk guides will encourage participants to push their personal limits, allowing them to lean back over Toronto with nothing but air and breathtaking views of Lake Ontario beneath them.
