Renaming to Pincher Creek or Cardston
Pincher Creek (pop: 3,625) is bigger than Fort Macleod (pop: 3,072); does anybody oppose/support this graticule being renamed to Pincher Creek? Alternatively, Cardston, with a population of 3,452, stands out in my mind as being a more remarkable place in the area. Either way, since it's spelt Fort Macleod and not MacLeod, it should be renamed. - Elbie 05:18, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with Elbie on that. Cardston is a centre of some religious importance in the area, and if Hashers are asking for directions to get to somewhere in the 'Cardston graticule' I would bet that most Lethbridge residents, at least, will be better able to direct them there than to the Fort Macleod area.

- To play devil's advocate, Fort Macleod does have a sliver of fame for being where Brokeback Mountain was filmed (although I think only locals know this). Perhaps this is something that Alberta should be touting more than the centre of the Canadian mormon church? :P - Elbie 05:41, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
