Calgary, the economic hub of Alberta, is known for its beautiful landscapes, a vibrant cultural scene, and an abundance of opportunity.  Conveniently located where the Elbow and Bow Rivers meet, and almost at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, you can enjoy everything nature has to offer.  World renowned Alpine skiing at Lake Louise mere minutes away, breathtaking hiking right outside your doorstep in Kananaskis, bountiful fly fishing on the Bow, and a terrific trail system throughout the city provides its residents enough leisure activities to last a lifetime.  It could be the fact that this city is the sunniest in all of Canada (averages 333 days of sunshine a year), that causes it's citizens to be so friendly, or maybe it's the food.  There are also many festivals throughout the year, but the most notable is the Calgary Stampede, touted to be the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth".  Mild weather, thriving cultural diversity, economic opportunity, a reasonable cost of living, and of course, the Calgary Flames, are all reasons many decide to call this magnificent city home.
