Nestled in the foothills of Canada's Rocky Mountains, Calgary, labeled as the "Heart of the New West", is a safe, clean and vibrant city that offers the best of all worlds: a cosmopolitan city of over 1 million people and breathtaking outdoor adventures in pristine wilderness.
Calgary is well-known as a destination for winter sports and ecotourism with a number of major mountain resorts nearby. It is located at the transition zone between the Canadian Rockies foothills and the Canadian Prairies, and is relatively hilly as a result. It has a semi-arid, highland continental climate with long, dry, but highly variable, winters and short, moderately warm summers.
Economic activity in Calgary is mostly centered on the petroleum industry; however, agriculture, tourism, and high-tech industries also contribute to the city's economic growth. Calgary boasts the fastest growing economy in Canada and is rated one of the top five cities in the world to live. The city has the highest personal income in Canada, the largest concentration of entrepreneurs and the highest per capita concentration of head offices in Canada.
