Q: i know i know.. it was three questions.. but im interested!
A: If you are going now check to see if the Stampede is on. That is a fun two weeks in Calgary. There is the Calgary tower, sort of like the CN tower in Toronto. There's a pretty good zoo there, Heritage Park is kind of neat if you are into seeing the pioneer stuff. Banff is a neat town and is closeby. If you go in winter you can go to the Olympic park. There is lots of nearby ski resorts.
