The Bragg Creek Post Office celebrated its 95th anniversary in 2006

On May 1, 2001 the Post Office in Bragg Creek celebrated 90 years in business with a party and a re-enactment of a horseback delivery of mail to 450 children at Banded Peak school. Current postmaster, Jaquie Bishop, and her son Dale delivered special anniversary edition stamped, comemorative envelops to the school.

The first post office:
Bill Graham, his wife and family, arrived in Bragg Creek about 1909, settling on the the land where the Saddle and Sirloin Ranch is now located. A man named Ira Johnson lived there during 1908, staying less than a year. This is the area where Albert Bragg lived when A.O. Wheeler surveyed and named the area.

Graham had a fairly large log house on a steep hill, overlooking the creek. The kitchen of this house also served as the first post office. For the first six months, Bill's cousin, Wesley Fitzgerald carried the mail to and from Jumping Pound, before Bill Graham took over.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing Canada Post waymark, you will need to post a unique picture of the Canada Post sign. Including your gps device in the picture is not neccesary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
