Name the Alberta cities/towns over 1000 people game!!
From another Alberta forum. They found this quiz someone made where you just rattle off cities, towns, villages with a population of 1000+ in AB. You have 15 mins to complete. There is a large chart with each places "motto." You can use them as hints but for the most part, just go crazy and name every place that comes to mind.
Spelling matters. Just open this link, click on the green "play" button and start typing!

58% Had a few I couldn't spell and some that I just could not get the name to come through - could visualize driving through the town yet couldn't pull out the name in time.

38%...I'll take it not being from Alberta originally. Once I got a look at the answers, I must say I've been through most of these places for work.

Missed several that I've driven through in the last month. I think there's only about 5 towns on the list I haven't been to or through in my life.

I figured if you were going to use 3 people I should get a re-do.
71% (90/126) and missed 4 that I thought I had entered - but obviously didn't. Lots of places on the list that I had never heard of.
