Calgary
Calgary, set against the backdrop of Alberta’s prairie landscape and the distant Canadian Rockies, is a city where western heritage and modern innovation meet. Once a hub for cattle ranching and the oil industry, it has grown into one of Canada’s most dynamic urban centers. Its Indigenous roots and ranching history remain central to its identity, celebrated alongside contemporary art, architecture, and cuisine.
The city is perhaps best known for the Calgary Stampede, a world-famous rodeo and festival that showcases cowboy culture, horsemanship, and a sense of community pride. Beyond this annual event, Calgary offers a thriving arts and theater scene, diverse neighborhoods, and a skyline crowned by the Calgary Tower. The Bow River runs through the heart of the city, adding natural beauty and trails that link urban life to the outdoors.
What makes Calgary distinctive is its blend of frontier tradition and forward-looking energy. It is a place where rodeo champions and tech innovators share the same stage, and where sweeping prairie skies meet the promise of the mountains.
