The hotel’s Curiously Arctic theme is rounded off in the conference room, with touches like air traffic control patterns in the carpet and snowflake chandeliers. These pay homage to the song "Take Off" by Bob and Doug McKenzie. The song, a light-hearted tribute to all things Canadian, captures the quirky, laid-back, adventurous vibe of the Great White North. The phrase "Take Off" isn't just about leaving—it’s about embracing that unique Canadian charm and humor.

This kind of humor has its roots in SCTV, the iconic Canadian comedy show that launched in Edmonton. SCTV was more than just a show; it was a launchpad for some of Canada's biggest comedy stars like John Candy, Eugene Levy, and Catherine O'Hara. The show’s mix of satire and hilarious characters made it a hit across North America and put Canadian comedy on the map from here in Edmonton.
