Rossiter Store and Brave Scout Hero of River Flats
A River Flats building on a side street hides its past as the Rossiter Store built in 1911. Norman Rossiter, a 14 year old Boy Scout leader and son of Charles and Ann Rossiter, saved balloonist George Cokely from a rapid descent in a 1911 hot air balloon incident. He later served as an electrician, enlisted in 210th Battalion during WWI, earned two war medals, and the Rossiters eventually moved to Calgary after selling the business. Graham's Groceteria later operated at the site from 1923 to 1941 before the era of modern stores.
