I think the terra-cotta like building could be the Num-ti-jah Lodge on
Bow Lake a few miles north of Lake Louise. See
www.num-ti-jah.com

As to the pronunciation of "Bow" in Bow River it is as in bow tie and
rhymes with no.
The upcoming G7 summit is being hosted at the Kananaskis resort which is
~50 miles south west of Calgary
Take a look at
http://www.kananaskisvalley.com/
for what is a very pretty area for the best of golfing, skiing, and
walking.
