LOCATION
Calgary is an attractive and dynamic city situated on the banks of the Bow River and close to Alberta's majestic Rocky Mountains. It is also home to the Calgary Stampede, undoubtedly Calgary's best-known visitor attraction, which features a large parade and world-class rodeo that draws more than a million people each year. The host city of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games takes pride in its sporting legacy. Canada Olympic Park is a multi-purpose athletic facility designed for skiing, snowboarding, bobsleigh and luge during the winter and mountain biking during the summer. The Pengrowth Saddledome is home to the NHL’s Calgary Flames as well as being the venue for countless events and concerts throughout the year. Other attractions, including the Glenbow Museum, the Calgary Tower and Eau Claire Market are great places to visit year-round.
