Calgary

Calgary is one of the great cities of Canada, I know Im a bit biased because I used to live there, but I will tell you the good and bad points of my previous home. The city it self is the largest in the province, and is the fastest growing. The Olympics were held there in I think 1988, when Eddy the Eagle was ski jumping. The city contains the Calgary tower that is much like the tower in Toronto with a spinning restaurant on top. The Ice hockey team called the ‘Calgary Flames’ is a good experience as well as the American football team. The city is close to the Rocky Mountains, so it is ideal for skiing and snowboarding, as well as sight seeing. On ...

In many ways Calgary is a typical North American City. To most people it is famous for the Stampede or the Winter Olympics held there some years ago. However if you look closer it has many attractions that are worth seeking out. There's the Calgary Tower. It's not too expensive to get to the top and from there you have a magnificent view. There's also a restaurant as well and it's not too expensive. The Fort is worth seeing if only to say you have seen it. Take a look at the Glenbow Museum. It has an excellent history of the Indians and how the area was settled. It was really fascinating seeing how the local Indians survived adn what happened to them. ...
