Welcome to Calgary, where cowboy meets cosmopolitan, from the Calgary Stampede to the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra we have something for everyone. A short hour drive from the majestic Rookie Mountians lays the city for everyone.

Home of the 2008 Grey Cup Champion Calgary Stampeders and of course our Calgary Flames, the WHL Calgary Hitmen and of course Calgary’s own NLL Calgary Rough Necks has grown up fast.

A cowboy promoter by the name of Guy Weadick talked four of the most powerful men from the Calgary area into financially backing an experiment called the Calgary Stampede. "The Big Four", Pat Burns, Archie McLean, George Lane and A.E. Cross, planted the seeds of what was to grow into the Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth.

Another stop of interest is Canada Olympic Park where you can spend the day skiing, snowboarding, or take a thrilling ride down the Olympic Bobsled run. Built for the 1988 Olympic COP has become a world renowned training facility for athletes to train and prepare for competitions al around the world. Calgary has been known from the beginning as a cow town and still has that wild west image.
