“A Kaleidoscope of Colors” - Frank

The largest city in Alberta, Calgary lies in the foothills of the majestic Canadian Rockies. Popularly known for its petroleum industry, it is also known as a cattle-ranching capital due to its hosting of the annual Calgary Stampede, a rodeo event that takes place for 10 days. A young Canadian city, its development was exacerbated as it was selected for a stop along the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The discovery of natural gas and crude oil has spurred Calgary’s growth as a great economic hub of the province.

The city came to be acclaimed internationally when it hosted the 1988 Winter Olympic Games. Tourism is now an integral part of Alberta’s economy and attracts millions of visitors each year. It sees more sunshine and clear skies than any other Canadian city. Winter can be extremely cold or pleasantly mild if warm chinook winds blow at the time. The metropolitan city presents an awe-inspiring outdoors, impressive museums, superlative shopping/dining options, and an engaging arts, music, and culture scene.
