History Industry Outdoor Activities Mountains

Calgary is situated on the western edge of the Great Plains, in the foothills of the beautiful Canadian Rockies. The city is relatively young but has the administrative and financial headquarters of the country’s petroleum industry.

Calgary celebrates its history as a cattle-ranching capital by hosting the annual Calgary Stampede, a ten-day rodeo event. The oil and gas industry has brought recent wealth to the city. With the growth of these industries, the city’s population has grown to over one million, with many residents living in ever-expanding suburban communities. Along with the Calgary Stampede, residents enjoy Stephen Avenue, the prestigious Glenbow Museum, and the Calgary Tower.

You’ll find ski areas in the Rocky Mountains for recreational activities a little more than an hour’s drive west of the city. Many Calgarians enjoy participating in winter sports, and the city is home to many sports teams, such as the Calgary Flames hockey team and the Calgary Stampeders football team.

If winter sports aren’t for you, there are tons of great hiking, skiing, whitewater rafting, and camping options all around the city. No matter what you’re in the mood for, there’s plenty to do in Calgary. Whether it’s checking out the Stampede, walking Stephen Avenue, or heading to the Rockies, you can rest assured you’ll never be bored. Make sure you check out Prince’s Island Park, which spans 50 acres, and Fish Creek Provincial Park, perfect for walking, cycling, and rollerblading.
