I grew up in St. Mary's Parish (pictured above) in Red Deer, Alberta. It was designed by a Metis man named Douglas Cardinal and I believe it is supposed to resemble a bison from certain angles. This same architect designed the Red Deer College Arts Center and made it look like a train. Very strange.

supposed to resemble a bison?

wouldn't it have been razzle dazzle if it was made to resemble a church?

I know! I grew up in the parish so it never really occurred to me how strange it was until I moved away and came back.. it's sort of a dreary place on the inside because there isn't any natural light.. it feels like going to mass inside a cave. Also, the acoustics on the inside are horrible for the choir, they had to get rid of the organ because it would echo so badly that it would over power everything!
Anyways, I still kind of like going back to that parish, bison or no bison.
