Summer in Calgary, the largest city and centre of the largest metro area in Canada's Alberta province, is stampede time. The famous Calgary Stampede, called the world's richest rodeo and roughest ride, takes place for ten days in July. Calgary and Southern Alberta, traversed by the Trans-Canada highway leads travelers from Medicine Hat in the East to the amazing beauty of Banff National Park near the British Columbia Border. Destinations like the turquoise waters of Lake Louise, Jasper National Park and Drumheller (the dinosaur capital of the world), are busy with summer visitors. World-class ski resorts are filled with hikers enjoying the great weather, stunning views and alpine forests.

Medicine Hat celebrates its culture and heritage at the community 2010 Exhibition and Stampede July 28th through 31st.
