Be Part of the Energy
Calgary is everything we love about the West: rural roots and entrepreneurial
drive intertwined with cosmopolitan culture. While it’s the country’s literal
energy capital, its creative energy is also surging. Educators, engineers,
and artists come together at TELUS Spark, Calgary's Science Centre and in
Beakerhead—an arts and engineering event like no other. The city’s skyline
is evolving all the time with landmark structures like the Bow Building
and the Peace Bridge, and its boutiques and shopping centres bustle
with patrons. Calgary is also emerging as a leading North American dining
destination, and as a host of renowned cultural events such as Calgary
Comic & Entertainment Expo, Sled Island Music Festival, and Calgary Folk
Music Festival. It’s all this, plus a hub of recreational opportunities, from
fishing to surfing to climbing, that stretch from the Prairies to the Rocky
Mountains. It is also the proud home of the Calgary Stampede, a massive
celebration of our Wild West heritage.
We're not the city you used to know, or the place you think we might be.
Calgary is a new city every day, with fresh experiences and adventures to
share and new stories and memories to take home.
