If you were ever driving along Highway 13 in Saskatchewan, it would be easy to pass by this small village without much notice. With just one operating business, a church, and some abandoned buildings, the tiny, two-block settlement in Saskatchewan’s south-eastern corner doesn’t seem like much.
With miles of monochromatic farmland stretch in every direction, and the skeletons of maple, poplar, and ash trees standing guard along the town’s border. This may be why they named this little town, Forget. Now, what were we talking about?
Banned in Canada!
The supremely intolerant, attention-seeking group known as the Westboro Baptist Church and its members have been banned from entering Canada.
The notoriously homophobic group is known as America's most hated family for protesting funerals of fallen U.S. soldiers with picket signs to disseminate its belief that God hates gays. Well done, Canada!
For the Animals
Banff National Park has spent millions building animal overpasses. The Trans Canada highway can be a dangerous place for even the largest of wild Canadian animals.
In Banff, they’ve poured money into building overpasses that prevent road accidents and save the lives of thousands of animals and humans each year.
When in Downtown Calgary
Downtown Calgary is arguably the densest downtown area of any city of its size in North America. You can walk 18 kilometers through downtown Calgary without going outside.
Their +15 walkway is 15 feet above the ground and was built to help pedestrians get around during the brutal winter temperatures. The +15 system is the largest of its kind in the world!
Orca FM
Vancouver Island has its very own whale radio station, that right; it plays the sounds of whales 24/7. Unsurprisingly, it’s named Orca FM, and it was the world’s first All-Whales-All-The-Time radio station. It began to broadcast from a killer whale sanctuary along Vancouver Island in 1998.
Their whale calls were picked up for ORCA FM by an offshore underwater microphone located in 30 meters of water. The radio signal was broadcast over a 15-km radius of the Johnstone Strait area and was transmitted at the Vancouver Aquarium.
