The City of Calgary - way
ahead of all forecasts - has now reached a population of a million. Our vibrant
and dymanic city is attracting a vast variety of people from all corners of the
world which will ensure its strong and steady growth.
The elevation of
Calgary is 3740 feet (1140 meters) and is a quick drive to the world's best
skiing - Sunshine Village, Mount Norquay and Lake Louise.
You will
never be bored with our weather - if it gets too cold a Chinook blows in from
the mountains and takes the snow away with gentle warm winds. It's great to
look west and see a Chinook Arch forming.
We have terrific private and
public golf courses in/near Calgary with many museums and performing
arts. |
