Calgary is situated on the banks of the Bow River, close to the majestic Rocky Mountains. The Calgary Stampede is Calgary's best known visitor attraction, featuring a large parade and world-class rodeo. Over a million people attend every year.

Calgary was the host city of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games and takes pride in Canada Olympic Park, 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 the home of the NHL's Calgary Flames, and the location for a large number of events and concerts throughout the year. Friendly, fun, fascinating - it's all in Calgary!
