For years, I’ve been looking for a plaque or a marker to explain the presence of this arch along the Bow River pathway in downtown Calgary. I have yet to find such a thing … so for now, I’m letting my imagination fill in the blanks about this structure’s origin story.

A view of the Sunnyside neighbourhood, looking across the tip of Prince’s Island and the Bow River to downtown Calgary. The Centre Street Bridge is visible in the shadows, centre left. The picture was taken from McHugh Bluff in early January.

Winter has returned with a vengeance in my part of the world. After a significant snowfall last week, we’re now dealing with arctic temperatures until the end of the week. The scene above is from last Wednesday, when it was still relatively safe to be outside!
