CALGARY, ALBERTA

Did You Know: Calgary has the first female police chief in a major Canadian city. Christine Silverberg started her term as Calgary's Chief of Police in 1996.

Did you know: The long-standing rivalry between the cities of Calgary and Edmonton can be traced as far back as 1905. Edmonton was declared the provincial capital city, so by convention, Calgarians assumed that the provincial University would be built in Calgary. Edmonton received both honours, thus the competition between the two cities was sparked. (This is the Calgary version - the Edmonton version may differ somewhat.)

Did You Know: A handshake is still considered to be a legally binding contract when doing business in Calgary. (Must have something to do with all the oil business in the city.)

Did You Know: 55% of Calgarians have attained some post secondary education - higher per capita than anywhere in Canada.
