Canada: Calgary

Calgary

City in Alberta, Canada

 

Calgary is a cosmopolitan Alberta city with numerous skyscrapers.  It owes its rapid growth to its status as the centre of Canada’s oil industry. However, it’s still steeped in the western culture that earned it the nickname “Cowtown,” evident in the Calgary Stampede, its massive July rodeo and festival that grew out of the farming exhibitions once presented here.
