calgary

calgary is a city located in western canada, in the province of alberta, a 4 hour flight away from montreal. alberta has been in the news quite a lot in the last few years because of its oil sands. so as you can imagine, calgary, a city with a population of just under a million, is booming! a lot of people go there to look for work, including a lot of quebecois. housing prices are rising fast and there are construction sites all over. while i was there for a trade show, i also noticed the low taxes and the multiple cowboy hats and boots. calgary is famous for its stampede, a huge outdoor rodeo held in the city for a week each year.
