Saamis Tepee

The Saamis Tepee is lit blue and gold, the colors of the Ukrainian flag

It is the world’s tallest tepee.

Originally constructed for the Calgary 1988 Winter Olympics, it is a tribute to the native heritage of Canada. The main masts of the Tepee measure 215 feet (equivalent to a 20 story building!) and the diameter of the Tepee is 160 feet.

Saamis Tepee is located on the Trans-Canada Highway next to Tourism Medicine Hat.
