It is the most exciting time of the year... The Calgary Stampede has announced some of their unique, bizarre, mouth-watering, tasty 2025 midway treats! Here are the ones that we are most looking forward to trying out:

That's right, Cookie Dough. Here are some delicious local Calgary food trucks to hunt down this spring at an event near you:

It may be cold, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay at home! After all, we’re made tough here in Alberta. Put on your winter clothes, gas up your car, and check out these nearby attractions for a fun day trip from Calgary:

  • Canmore: While Banff gets the global acclaim, Canmore also has so much to offer (without requiring a park pass). Check out Rocky Mountain Bagels, Canmore Brewing, BeaverTails, Mountain Equipment Co, and so much more on main street. At the North end you can walk down the boardwalk through the marsh, where wildlife abounds. There are spectacular views and great places to stay overnight should you wish. Canmore has something for everyone and is only 45 minutes out of the city.
  • Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump: Skip the busy…
