if you follow the mighty Rockies near Sea Breeze straight north you will come to very similar terrain in Alberta, Canada. The city is vibrant, multi cultural and friendly. We embrace a small town attitude but are home to many a corporate head office. In our very short summer I believe we have the most festivals per capita in Canada. From local street fests to full weekend in the park folk fests and week long Fringe Fest. Our summers are short (this year has been a doozy, we have had it all heat waves, crushing hail, torrential heat waves and then back to our normal warm temps of between 20-20 Celsius). But we usually have loads of sunshine. We have 2 rivers that intersect our fair city and along them are kilometers upon kilometers of beautiful paved pathways for walking and biking. Winters are long and fluctuate, we have winds that warm us up throughout the season, and winds that take us to bone chilling cold temperatures. I have lived and worked here all my life. I love this city and all it has to offer. Welcome to my home town, Calgary.
