Alberta has been a great place for Movie Makers. Part of the reason is because of the exchange rate. The Canadian dollars is about $0.75 USD and I think the Canadian government gives incentives for production companies to film here. Movies have been filmed here since the 90s include Legends of the Fall, the farm and crop scene from the movie Interstellar and the Revenant with Leonardo DiCaprio. Now they are using the town of Fort MacLeod to be a city in the USA in the Ghostbusters sequel..

Fort McLeod Alberta Canada has a great living museum and a reenactment of the original RCMP musical ride.
Small towns in Alberta can made to look like anywhere USA. I am almost certain that this won't be shown in the movie. I have driven by this ancient fort every time I come and go the USA by car. Fort MacLeod is about an hour and a half from the US border.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel You visited the CDN Navy base at Esquimalt or Ann Hathaway’s Cottage? Spinnaker’s Restaurant and Pub near the bridge to the mainland has a quiet view of the Harbor.

CSM Charles Hayden - From what the Locals tell Me it hardly Snows in Esquimalt but Let Me Show Up and It Snow Like a SOB. LOL! I Aways get a Kick though seeing the Canadian and US Northern Pacific Fleets HQs So Close to Each Other. Almost Need Traffic Lights in the Straight of Juan de Fuca.

LTC (Join to see) Ft MacLeod, Alberta, Canada?
Just down the road from Buffalo Jump? Where the natives drove Bison off the cliff for a quick slaughter??
We once booked the last room in a motel in Ft MacLeod,, it would have accommodated eight people. I was there first!
A nephew played baseball for the Expo’s farm team out of Calgary. After he told us of the Japanese Garden in Lethbridge, we did visit there. Lethbridge also had a Tim Horton’s Doughnut shop!!

Awesome, Chuck, that you have driven by this Old Fort. I have never stopped by to go in and check it out. I have never gone to Fort Calgary either. Fort Edmonton was torn down about 1905 and they made a replica at the Edmonton Park.
