カルガリ−到着

世界遺産−恐竜発掘現場”ダイナソ−州立公園”から１号ハイウェ−へ出て、約２００Ｋｍ西へ−カルガリ−の町を目指す．
途中、カルガリ−の手前５０Ｋｍあたりで、猛烈なスコ−ルに遭遇！
前方から、低く垂れ込めた黒雲が駆け足でこちらにやってきたと思ったら、いきなり車体、窓ガラスを叩く、バン！バン！という音・・・・
見ると、ピンポン球の氷が窓ガラスにあたっている．
前方、視界もまったくきかない、
何時窓ガラスが割れるかと・・・・・・・・ハラハラ！！！
ひたすら、通り過ぎるのを待った．
この間、３０分ほど・・・・・・
さすがに、うろたえていたのか、この時写真、ビデオ、誰もよう撮っていない．
ガラスが割れたらどうしょう・・・・車体にキズがついたら弁償は・・・・
そんなことばかり考えていたようだ！
通り過ぎると、カラリと晴れた、カルガリ−のダウンタウンが視界に飛び込んできた．

青空の下、カルガリ−のダウンタウンにあるレストランヘ、
地面が黒く、雨に濡れている・・・・・・
この時のスコル−がカルガリ−の町や周辺の農作物に大きな被害をもたらしたことを、あとで、
ホテルのテレビや翌朝の新聞で知る．
そらそうだろう・・・・・・
まったく、生きた心地がしなかった・・・・・・・３０分間は！！

Calgary Downtown

Calgary's history of steady growth is driving the evolution of Downtown. With more companies choosing Calgary for their headquarters, more jobs are attracting more people Downtown.
Office vacancy rates are down, residential property sales, new construction and renovations are up. In turn participation in public events, retail sales and visitation to attractions are all
reaching new heights as Downtown Calgary becomes a place to work, live and play.

The Calgary Tower

is currently owned and operated by Oxford Properties Group. Officially opened on June 30th, 1968, the "Tower " has become the City of Calgary's most famous and identifiable physical landmark. Though now 30 years old, the Calgary Tower is still the 3rd tallest structure in the city and a must see on any tourist's itinerary. Throughout the 1988 Winter Olympic Games, an Olympic Torch burned non-stop at the top of the Tower. When the "Torch" is lit on special occasions it brings back fond memories as well as a certain pride in all Calgarians.

Fort Calgary Historic Park.

In 1875, amid a sea of scarlet jackets and thundering hooves, 'F' Troop of the North West Mounted Police crossed the Bow River to build Fort Calgary. Sent from Ottawa, the troop was to impose law and order and stop the whiskey trade which was devastating First Nations communities.The Mounties' occupation of the outpost ended in 1914, but their legacy lives on as the City of
Calgary continues to rise behind the fort - where it all began.
