Inside the city, students can enjoy the view of the city from the Calgary Tower, catch a Calgary Flames hockey game at the Saddledome, and go shopping in Calgary’s popular 17th Avenue district. Among the many events that take place in the city, the Calgary Stampede is by far the largest.
Occurring every July, it celebrates Calgary’s 'Old West' spirit and attracts over a million visitors every year.
