The Greatest Show on Earth: The Calgary Stampede
Partake in cowboy culture by visiting the world’s largest rodeo and one of Canada’s most popular summer events. This ten day celebration of western and Native culture will have you eating pancake breakfasts, attending chuck-wagon races, stomping your heels to the music and having a blast at the midway. The Stampede spirit surrounds Calgary during early July when you’ll be hard pressed not to see a friendly local heading to the rodeo or an exhibition.

PEI, an Island Built for Cycling
When you're gently pedalling down a tranquil, historic road that was carved from the red clay and hardwoods well before the first bicycle was even invented, it's hard to imagine that over the next hill you could find a cross country trail that gives a whole new meaning to the word extreme.
