Author Notes may contain spoilers!

When I decided that I was going to be writing about murders in Calgary area parks, I knew that one of them would be the Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park. I have been involved in this park since before it was a park. I was legal assistant to the lawyer for the Harvie family, who provided the land for the park. We worked with the family for a number of years and worked with multiple levels of government to get everything lined up and the park created. We helped with the build-out of the park trails and amenities, the establishment of the stewards to help to take care of the park, and much more. In the ten years since the park was opened, I have been involved in a number of roles. I don’t get out to the park as much as I would like to, but it is definitely a special place for me and had to be one of the settings that a Parks Pat Mystery would take place in.
