Welcome to Calgary!

calgary

Calgary is in Alberta, Canada, and snuggled east of the Rockies in Alberta, Canada.   About hour west of the city is Lake Louise and Banff...world class tourist and great skiing!

The photo below is a great picture of Calgary's Saddledome and downtown looking toward the North West - the building in the front is the Saddledome, home of the NHL Calgary Flames.  It's located at the Calgary Exhibition & Stampede.

Also note the tall tower in the background, called the Calgary Tower (nee: Husky tower) was copied to shape the torch for the 1988 Winter Olympics held in Calgary.

Our city is proud to host many special events and conventions...every year in the second week of July the world famous Calgary Exhibition and Stampede takes place. The whole city joins in during that week to cut loose and have fun. Even downtown bankers wear jeans and cowboy hats!

Because of this western hospitality, we were honoured (Canadian spelling eh!) that the Rotarians decided to hold their huge annual convention in our city 1996, the World Police and Fire Games in 1997, and of course don't forget the 1988 Winter Olympics were held here also!
