Why Choose Calgary?

Calgary is home to world-class venues, iconic sports franchises, and an undeniable community spirit. You can feel this as soon as you arrive at the airport and are greeted by one of the legendary White Hat Volunteers.

There’s an energy here that exhilarates, invigorates, and motivates. Maybe it's the thriving business community, that's reinvented itself in the face of an energy transition. Or it might be the incredible diversity, both in people - Calgary is the third most diverse city in Canada - and experiences - from downhill go-karting to river floating. It helps that Calgary is just 90min from one of the world’s great resort destinations in Banff National Park.

With more than 300 thriving local sport organizations, and a reputation as a mecca for high performance Olympic winter sport training, Calgary has cemented its place among the leading sport cities in the world.
