Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This farming community has a strong Ukrainian background, and a very interesting Pysanka - or giant painted Easter egg.

Answer: Vegreville

The Pysanka style of Vegreville's giant Easter egg is typical of the region of Ukraine where the majority of Albertan settlers came from (Bukovina)

2. This darling little town was put on the map by its home-made sausages, and enormous sausage statue placed in the town square.

Answer: Mundare

Mundare sausages are fabulous, but if you are married be sure to give some to your hubby as well, the garlic could peel paint!

3. This town's rival is the giant sausage town 20 minutes away. They chose to erect a huge mallard duck. What town is this?

Answer: Andrew

Really the only interesting thing about Andrew is that it has a very large mallard duck.

4. This town is in Canada's oldest National Park.

Answer: Banff

The town of Banff is home to many elk, bears, and ravens...thanks to a great amount of tasty tourist food!

5. Continuing in the Ukrainian theme, this town has a giant perogy on a fork in one of its parks.

Answer: Glendon

After the statue was erected, it was noted that the chips surrounding the fork resembled bacon bits...not an effect they had originally anticipated!

Answer: Edmonton

The Mall, as Edmontonians call it, or West Edmonton Mall, as it is generally known, attracts people from all over the globe. WHY??

7. This city hosts an important rodeo competition annually in July...(hint). The name of the event is also the name of their CFL team.

Answer: Calgary

Calgary finally took down their 1988 Olympic Host signs in 2000. Way to go.

8. This town contains, of all things, an Alien Landing Pad.

Answer: St. Paul

The pad is surrounded by flags from around the world. (and the music from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" ???)

9. This ghost town, once a thriving community around the turn of the century, is now entirely under a collapsed mountain.

Answer: Frank

The Native people living in the area at the time of the Frank Slide warned townsfolk that the mountain was not friendly ("Turtle Mountain will nod its head")...and so it did.

10. This ranching town is the home of k.d. lang.

Answer: Consort

She was shunned after her highly publicized anti-beef campaigns...the backbone of the community is beef!
