The author of Calgary: The Unknown City swears he "once read about a 'sea monster' which inhabited the Bowness Park lagoon circa 1900. The terrified locals eventually banded together to kill the monster then roasted it over a fire-pit as some sort of a perverted celebration. It couldn't have tasted very great. Anyway, do you think I could find the darn article? Nope. You'll just have to trust me" (Martin 80).
