“Flush with oil money, Calgary has morphed from ho-hum city on the prairie to a cultural hub, with offerings far beyond the Stampede, the annual rodeo and festival,” said the publication.

Located in the Province of Alberta, Calgary is the fifth-largest metropolitan area in Canada. The city has seen rapid growth as immigrants and Canadians alike flock to the province to find work in its booming job market.
