Calgarians Work Hard & Play Hard

Calgary is both business and pleasure. Honestly. Calgary boasts one of the youngest, best educated workforces in Canada, with seven post-secondary institutions. With the numerous live music venues, countless parties during the Calgary Stampede, or the exploding micro-brewery and culinary scene, and it’s clear that Calgarians know how to throw a dash of fun into even the busiest day.

Certainly, Calgary has a cowboy spirit, but it’s also cosmopolitan. It’s diverse – Calgary is ranked third in proportion of visible minorities in Canada. The sparkling skyline reaches out of the foothills just as Calgary reaches out to the world. From international flavours (Calgary has one of the largest Chinatowns in Canada) to international headquarters, the city welcomes the world.
