A Report Card on Calgary
Its no secret that I LOVE Calgary, and I have this list of 20 reasons and counting to explain why! Besides my reasons there are many sources that agree with me. Sources that have done comparisons to other great Canadian cities and cities across the world. Of special mention is the Economist Intelligene Unit ranking Calgary 5th best city to live in the world and the Toronto Board of Trade ranking Calgary 3rd most prosperous.
I hope this helps to show you why the city you live in truly is the best and why people want to move here!
