Calgary Downtown Walking Tour

Long before Calgary existed, this was a meeting place where rivers, grasslands and the Rocky Mountains shaped the lives of Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. This tour explores that deeper story, explaining how the landscape, wildlife, geology and geography created the conditions that eventually gave rise to the city. From the first peoples to the arrival of the North West Mounted Police, the railway, ranching and the Calgary Stampede, you'll gain a nuanced understanding of how Calgary developed and why it looks and functions the way it does today.
