Spring and a young man's thoughts turn to...

 ROAD TRIPS!

Greetings, here’s a little Alberta history for you! The first car in Alberta, also known as the ‘Horseless Carriage’ was purchased in August 1903 by Billy Cochrane, a British cattle rancher. Three years later, in 1906, he and Mr White made the first Calgary to Edmonton trip when there was a total of 41 licences cars in the province. Cheers! 🇨🇦
