Sumac

"Sumacs grow in subtropical and warm temperate regions throughout the world, especially in North America. They are shrubs and small trees that can reach a height of 1-10 meters. The flowers are in dense panicles or spikes 5-30 cm long, each flower very small, greenish, creamy white or red, with five petals. The fruits form dense clusters of reddish drupes called sumac bobs." From Wikipedia. They are native to eastern Canada, but not native to Alberta. This particular tree is growing outside the Visitors Centre near the Bow Valley Ranch, Fish Creek Park. Attractive to see, especially on a cold, dull day like today (plus a little snow that fell overnight).
