Default Down home - share your diamond

Ha - bet you couldn't guess what this thread might be about.
I was just thinking - and I'm a little bored - that a lot of us don't really know much about different areas of the Provinces or cities that others live in or are from. I think that every place has it's little diamond that is not common knowledge or that the rest of just would not have known about your home town. So I thought it would be interesting if there is something unique or little known about where you live it would be fun to share. Please post pictures if you have them.
I know that I have driven the Alaska Highway to Dawson City and the part that goes through the northern Rockies is just jaw dropping beautiful. A little closer to home is the drive between Fort St. John and Hudson Hope ( I will try and post a picture of this in the next couple of weeks once it starts to green up a bit). If you are a motorcycle enthusiast this is supposed to be a great road (according to a show I listened to on CBC) - lots of hills, scenery, wildlife, and sharp corners.
Anyway hope others will share.

Nanaimo has the most shopping malls per capita

We still need Old Navy and Ikea as far as I'm concerned

Calgary is apparently home to the largest population of Americans outside of America

Charlie Lake (just outside of FSJ about 6km) is home to one of the oldest known archaeology (10,500 years) in North America.
Read all about it!
