111 Places in Calgary That You Must Not Miss takes you on adventures across a city that is full of secrets and surprises. Walk in the footsteps of Calgary's most flamboyant, diamond-covered madam. Pay homage at the grave of the region's first Black cowboy, who became a legendary rancher. And admire an important buffalo hide robe at an Indigenous museum at the southwestern city limits. Learn about the birth of the Caesar – Calgarians know it's neither an emperor nor a salad, but Canada's most beloved cocktail. Discover the magic of Stampede Park when the rodeo is not in town. Beware of a ghostly lady who haunts a historic mansion. And find out if you're brave enough to try a mouthful of prairie oysters. Grab your toque, your sunscreen, and a friend, and go exploring. Calgary's true energy is all around you.
