 Why the city looks so pretty |

Formed almost 100 years ago, to educate people on the harsh growing conditions in Alberta, the Calgary Horticultural Society is one of the largest and most active horticultural societies in Canada. And you don't have to have a green thumb to belong. The Calgary Horticulture Society offers a number of membership benefits, including regular speakers and an extensive gardening library. They also hold chat sessions on the Internet and offer discounts at garden centers throughout the city. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 The Premier's southern office |
455 6th Street Southwest Calgary, AB T2P 4E8 Canada +1 403 297 8687 |
At the turn of the century, this Renaissance Revival buidling began as the Calgary Normal School, but these days, government opponents would likely suggest the place is anything but normal. The refurbished old school block in downtown Calgary is now the Southern Alberta government centre, an office for the premier and his ministers when they do business away from the provincial capital three hours north in Edmonton. The structure also serves as a conference centre for the provincial government and office space for some Calgary-based civil servants. The building was made a historic site in 1982, a rare heritage monument in a downtown forested with modern office towers. Tours of the centre are available and are free of charge.

Calgary's major convention center has had a major facelift and expansion. The expanded facility has a combined total of 82,000 square feet of exhibit space, three pre-function areas, 23 breakout rooms and a 20,000-square-foot ballroom. Upgraded to host larger, more demanding shows, the renewed center is wired with fiber optic cable. The center is directly attached to the famed Glenbow Museum and also to a Marriott hotel. The center is directly connected to city hall and the city's major performing arts center by pedestrian bridges. Review © 2007, Wcities |
