Calgary Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Calgary, the gateway to the Canadian Rockies, is safe, clean, and friendly, with few cities as overtly welcoming to families. Child & Youth Friendly Calgary is an organization established more than 14 years ago that accredits businesses that have passed a rigorous inspection conducted by kids and youth. Those that pass earn the right to display the organization's sunburst logo—look for it throughout the city.
