Global's Your Town

 Calgary & Area 

Amidst its towering tributes to the oil and gas industry, Calgary is bustling with museums, theatres, art galleries, fine restaurants and superlative shops.

Famed for its entrepreneurial spirit and youthful population, the city prides itself on being the heart of the new west while honouring its cowboy heritage — especially evident during the 10 day Calgary Stampede every July.

For a taste of our western culture and heritage, visit the nearby towns and villages of Bragg Creek, Cochrane, Black Diamond and Longview – you’ll recognize the scenery from the dozens of major feature films made here, particularly Brokeback Mountain.

For more information, visit Tourism Calgary and Alberta's Kananaskis Country.
