Every year at this time a flag raising ceremony is held to commemorate the Lougheed House and what it means.
It's a trip back in history seeing the home.
It was built in 1891 by Senator and Mrs. James Alexander Lougheed and to commemorate this, it still flies the Union Jack flag.
As well as the flag raising ceremony Saturday, the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry was honoured.
The estate was a hub for important visitors to our city, including Princess Patricia and her family.
This July 24th the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) are honoured to change the Union Jack.
The PPCLI had a strong presence in Calgary for decades until its headquarters here were closed in 1998.
The PPCLI still plays an important role in Canadian military efforts around the world.
Capt. Rick Dumas of the PPCLI told CTV Calgary, "I have over 32 years in. Two of my three sons are in the regiment. The middle one is going over to Afghanistan as a door gunner in a helicopter. My oldest one has been there twice."
Defence Minister Peter MacKay was also in attendance at Saturday's traditional flag raising ceremony.
MacKay told us, "I also have a personal connection, Joe Lougheed and I were classmates at law school in Halifax, I'm delighted to be here and great to see so many people out supporting both Lougheed House and all they do and the Canadian forces are given a very warm embrace here in the City of Calgary."
The new Union Jack now flies above the Lougheed House, a place that brings visitors back in time.
