Calgary covers an area of 280.5 sq. miles (726.5 square Km) and is estimated to have a population of 1.1 million people being the largest city in the province of Alberta and the third largest civic municipality, by population, in Canada.

Calgary Exhibition and Stampede

More than a million people pass through the gates of Stampede Park each July to enjoy what’s billed as the greatest outdoor show on earth: a rodeo, carnival, midway, agricultural fair and street party packed into the confines of a downtown park. This event really lives up to its billing and absolutely takes over the city, with locals and visitors alike going cowboy for ten days.
