yes they are in relatively the same area. Drumheller is the dinosaur site, and a strange city name in its own right. for kids that are into dinosaurs Drumheller and the Royal Tyrrell museum, is a must see. And your right, Medicine Hat is a great town. Especially if you like Junior Hockey.

Placentia, NFLD
St. Louis de Ha! Ha!, Quebec (Yes, the !'s are actually part of the place name.)
Crotch Lake, ON
Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump, AB,
Pecker's Point, NFLD
Spread Eagle, NFLD
Vulcan , AB
Sheshatshit, Labrador

As you can see, Canadians like to have odd names for their towns. The Newfies in particular. Smile
