Policeman’s Creek is found in Canmore, Alberta. The creek is named for the N.W.M.P. (North West Mounted Police, precursor to today’s R.C.M.P. or Royal Canadian Mounted Police) barracks that were built close by its banks in 1893. There is a boardwalk alongside the creek where you can take an easy stroll through the picturesque Alberta Rockies. The colour of the sunset along Policeman’s Creek is the inspiration for this rosy pink cowl.
