Calgary: A Great place to Live
October 23rd 2011 14:47
Less than a century old, Calgary hasn't had time to develop a rich heritage, but instead has built a rough and ready character full of youth, which thrives on spectacle and excess. From the noise and bravado of the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede, billed as the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth," to the more subdued opulence of the Palliser Hotel's famous galas, the city vibrates with a barely-controlled energy straining to rush after the next trend.
There's just no way to be modest about this: For hunters and fishers, the Calgary region has it all. Fly fishers and anglers flock to the Bow River for its mature stocks of brown trout and rainbow trout who, famously, are equal parts feisty and tasty. Game hunters will find deer, elk, moose and black bear in the mountains and foothills around Calgary. Alberta's wetlands are rife with wildfowl.
No matter what your hobby is Calgary has something for everyone.
