Excellent video.Lots of good info in a short time. Thanks.

They need to bring investors to Orion..It's got alot of potential for growth ..and considering it's history...It deserves to be more populated..and grow ....🌸

I am a lot of people always wondered what was the story about Rundle ruins which I now have a name for. I haven't driven past it for a little while and with the all the expansion going on with the Stampede and everything they want to do I hope they leave it alone

Well displayed and informative. Good job and thank you very much !

I was born in Medicine Hat in 1945. My family lived in Orion until 1950. My Dad used to fly his Piper Cub to The Hat the house Dad built was 50% standing in the early 1990s. My aunt is buried in Orion. It was her wish to be returned to Orion after her service to The Ivory Coast for 55 years. All of my uncles and aunts have died. The last uncle died in July, 2023.

I been twice in Alberta, amazing province

Everything is gone now. Not one house left! Just the grocery store building. We lose so much history.

This was great!! Living in Calgary my whole life, seen this ruin 100s of time and never knew what it was from. Thank you.

What year was Big Valley a Ghost town and do some souls or spirits still reside there ?

Ghosts are real, but their very elusive, intermittent, when they are seen or heard it's usually, Get out.

Great video

Hi Kelsey. I am looking for a photo of the Gordon Eddie store that as located on 1st in the Grain Building.

Wow, growing up on Stanley Drive us kids used to explore 'Lindsays Castle' on a regular basis. We also found a whole bunch of bones just south of the Castle tucked into the side of the hill closer to the river bank but above the pathway. I always wondered if it may have been a spot for a native buffalo jump. Great video and thanks!

The demolishing of the hospital is easily one of the most disappointing things Calgary could have done, especially considering most of any historical landmarks left are few or demolished as well. That building was beautiful, regardless the fact it may not have been serving a purpose at the time. They could have at least saved it for a later date where refurbishing it for another purpose would have been beneficial. The architecture and structure was great. I'm all for moving forward in the means of progressing a new city, but it's pretty sad when all the old architecture that built the city was at its expense. Now all we have are pictures and that's literally it.

Thanks for sharing! some I wasn't familiar with! :)

I'm so glad you covered my other old town, Bassano. Reminds me of my Nirvana Fan Girl Days amidst all the cowboys...

Good job Calgary haunted house video I like it Calgary's Haunted house You thanks video

Very nicely done, Kelsy.. I appreciated all the video - especially the part about St. Paul's Historic Chapel, as I'm the Incumbent Priest at St. Paul's.

Yes very interesting houses Wow

I hate the Government so much

They didn't have pictures of the crowd in background.

I think the Patrick Burns you mention at about 4:45 had a historic building named after him that was almost demolished in the early 1980’s. I was a high rise plumber / pipe fitter in Calgary at the time (I worked on the AGT building ... now “Telus” I think ... and First Canadian Plaza Bank of Montreal building) and remember the “save the Burns Building” campaign! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burns_Building

First neighbourhood we lived in when we emigrated to Canada as refugees , in 1957. We lived in a house just 2 down from the Stephenson Grocery (don't remember if that was it's name then) The "Rundle" hospital building I remember as having Nursing Sisters going in and out all the time. The building had a very weird fire escape chute at the back that us kids would climb up and slide down. We also lived in two other houses, one across 12 Ave from Vic Park Elementary, the other kitty-corner to the school. I loved living in the neighbourhood. Easy as pie to sneak into the Calgary Stampede at the time too. We knew all the little holes in the fences. Loved the video. Thanks for the memories.

Kelsey Norman you should find out about Sibbald Alberta there is only 5 house that people live in now out there

well done Kelsy! I noticed at the end Linda Mae's restaurant, my dad used to go there sat morning and take me along!

It’s sad that the yellow house is gone because someone burned it down at least that’s what I’ve heard, I used to drive past it every once in a while

Too bad this house burned down conveniently when council was going to vote on what to do with it.

Love this!! We need more videos about Calgary history.

So this is UP?

I imagine a lot of those will be torn down eventually as they got damaged in the flood several years ago... that's when a lot of the abandoned ones closed

Hey Kelsy. If you ever do an update on Vic Park. Consider including the Imperial Liquor and Tobacco warehouse (now Imperial Lofts). Imperial L&T also had a shop on 8th Ave. I think the warehouse was built in 1905? I came across a Glenbow photo of the Alexandria hotel with the Imperial warehouse under construction in the background.

Eventually if you have time you should do a video on Alsask. That place use to have a military base. Must have a lot to say about that place.

Love your videos. You and your girlfriend do an awesome job. Did you get a chance to do any exploring this year. I would love to see more of them. 👍

FYI, if your planning to visit the Majorville Medicine Wheel, the road is now open all the way to the wheel itself (though it is very rough), no long walk required.

extremely well done you could be Harry Sanders.

Very cool. My great grandfather was Axel Mattson -- had no idea he was the local postmaster back when Orion was named "Needmore"

How was this 4 years ago and no comments and only 4 likes??????

I'm a local photographer and take photos of most of these buildings. It's great to get more history on them from what I've been able to find. Thanks! And great vids!

when ever i watch any vintage or history video of calgary they never ever (if any) talk about the non white people ....... that built this civilization too, even the Chinese Railroad builders.

I grew up near there and remember many visits and tales about Lindsay's Castle. Great Memories, so sad to see all that Graffiti on it now :( :( :(

If I had the funds id renovate that brick house on the west end and rent it out.

So cool!

You should make more videos

Here today, Gone tomorrow :(

Didn't think that gift shop to be anything of significance after the many times I've walked by and visited it, never would've thought it was 135 years old

Near the railroad there is also an old schoolhouse from pre 1914. It is in the park limits.
