It was hard to understand why AAA was saying that the Nikka Yuko Japanese Gardens in Lethbridge was a "GEM" until we saw it. During WWII Lethbridge was a prison of war camp for Japanese and this garden is their way of saying that the Canadians and the Japanese are now friends. The garden was built in 1965 and really is beautiful. Lethbridge was also a large coal mining town. This High Level Bridge was built to haul out all the coal and is unique in tha it is the longest-highest bridge of it's type in the world. It was built in 1907 and, as you can see, is still in use today.
