A popular Canada holiday stop off is Calgary. A city in the province of Alberta, Canada. It is situated on the Bow River in the south of the province, in an area of foothills and prairie, approximately 80 km east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies

Calgary enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other major city in Canada, so bring your sunglasses whatever time of year you visit. Whilst the summers are warm and dry thanks to the 'Chinook wind' that visits several times a year, the winter temperatures can be quite variable from one day to the next so make sure you bring plenty of layers to make sure you make the most of the great outdoors. It’s perfectly placed for winter sports with the world-class centres of Banff and Jasper just an hours drive away. The city is famous for its many festivals with events celebrating everything from folk music to comedy, but it’s probably best known for the Calgary Stampede, an almost-100 year old, ten day rodeo event which takes place every July. Cowboys and snowmen? Calgary’s got the lot!
