Clear Your Calendar for this Week In and Around Calgary!

Living an exciting lifestyle comes easy when you discover all that Calgary has to offer! Traditionally speaking, Calgary’s image is definitely linked to cowboys and 10-gallon hats, high-heeled western boots and everything oil might buy. Calgary is also home to the second-largest zoo in Canada, easily reachable via a modern, contemporary light rail system. Additionally, the Saddledome hosts many of the same attractions found in Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. Calgary is known as the city of the Flames, giving it virtually the same distinction as Toronto for being known as the city of the Maple Leafs. So, is your calendar clear? Let's do it!
