Book Description
From chilling out on the Columbia Icefields, to munching on sweet potato fries at Dadeos, to rappelling through Rat’s Nest cave, to line dancing at a free pancake breakfast or rocking out at the Labatt’s Blues Festival, this is the MUST list every Albertan MUST have. From buying sausages in Seven Persons to finding the coolest late night eateries in Calgary, it’s all here.

Fly fishing guru Jim McLennan, Alberta icon Peter Lougheed, Olympian Melissa Hollingsworth and gold medal chef Hayato Okamitsu all have secret places you simply MUST visit, as do Gwyn Morgan, Catherine Ford, Crystal Plamondon and Holger Peterson. This is the ultimate insider MUST list. If you love Alberta, you simply MUST have the Alberta Book of Musts.

About the Author
Dina O’Meara landed in Alberta in 1980 after having lived in North and South America, Asia and Israel. Upon freezing her hair for the first time on a beautifully bright – but -40C – day in Edmonton, she became enamoured of the possibilities and contradictions of this province. For almost 20 years she has worked as a journalist, writing about most corners of Alberta, from knuckle jumpers at the Arctic Winter Games in Slave Lake, to the fact Medicine Hat stocks rattlesnake anti-venom in its hospital because it has to. Dina now works and lives in Calgary, where it’s a quick ride out to the windswept prairies or to all kinds of hiking trails in the mountains.
