Being a born and raised Calgarian, I have done pretty much every activity you can do in the Calgary region. With winter approaching I thought I would try and share some ideas to get out and try something new.  Calgary is a great City and I don't understand when I hear people complain there is "nothing to do"...   

With these activities some are more specific than others, if you need help with a recommendation of where to go, what to do or what to eat:  Please email me , leave a comment with your email address or feel free to call me directly 403-370-4180 and I will be happy to help you out and share my knowledge of the City.

Snow...?!?!  BOO!  I would like to add an item to your list:  Hide out in AZ for the winter!  My first Christmas here, I was golfing Christmas Day - while my parents were buried under 2' of snow in MI.

One vote for and one against Corrine and Sharon.  I will reserve my vote until the weekends over.

White on the ground this a.m.  - had to focus a few times before I realized it was 'just' a heavy frost.  Geese moving around a lot and getting ready for that big flight.  ... Guess it's going to happen soon.

And Cody ... will keep those ideas at hand.  ... but find myself never looking for things to do.  - Len
