Posted by Bob Lefebvre

The Alberta Champions Society unveiled their seventh Field Of Fame on September 28. The monument honours seven prominent Calgarians for their contributions to the province. The monument stands next to the Friends of Fish Creek office at Bow Valley Ranch at the east end of Fish Creek Park.

The monument honours Virnetta Anderson, Narcisse Blood, Michael Green, Roderick Mah, Chuck Mawer, Peter Prince and Gus Yaki. Yaki was a prominent naturalist and birder who passed away in 2020.

The monuments were unveiled after a nice ceremony on September 28. You can watch videos of the unveiling here. (In the long video, the unveiling of Gus’s monument starts at 119:30.)
