ST.ALBERT MALL
IN-STORE HUNT
I walked beneath a colder world,
Long before your cities had a name.
For countless winters I fed and clothed
Those who followed me across the north.
Empires rose and vanished far away,
Yet still I faced the Arctic wind.
Now only my watchful face remains.
What am I?
SHERWOOD PARK MALL
IN-STORE HUNT
I wear a crown of golden rays,
Yet my greatest treasure is almost too small to see.
Within me rests a fragment said to have belonged
To one whose name drew pilgrims from afar.
I do not tell you what I guard—
You must ask to learn whose story lies within.
What am I?
WEST EDMONTON MALL
IN-STORE HUNT
I was raised in willing hands,
Yet what I offered was no feast.
First came a sleep too deep to wake,
Then wind and cold completed the rite.
I did not strike, nor cut, nor bind—
Still, death once waited at my rim.
What am I?
FORGOTTEN IN TIME ANTIQUE MALL
IN-STORE HUNT
I worked before wires carried power,
When every drop was earned by hand.
A steady arm would wake me,
And from below I brought what life required.
I stood where homes and travellers depended on me,
Long before a tap could answer with a turn.
What am I?
