River Café
For season 6 of ‘Yes, We Are Open’, Al heads west to Alberta! His first stop is Prince’s Island in Calgary, an urban oasis located on the Bow River. The island park is primarily accessible by a number of footbridges. It is home to playgrounds, walking paths, several outdoor activities & festivals, and one notable business, River Café. Sal Howell is the owner of the café, which started as a park concession. In 1995, Sal transformed the open-air space into a must-see year-round dining experience. For the last 30 years, River Café has served up cuisine from ingredients indigenous to the region, but a couple of major floods in the city, one in 2005 and an even bigger one in 2013 threatened to wash all of that away. This is Sal’s story.
