As well as bringing you pictures, updates and videos from the WorldSkills Calgary 2009 competition at Stampede Park, we wouldn't be doing justice to Canada without showing you some pictures of the pristine wilderness and breathtaking scenery that are a short distance from Calgary.
To give you an idea of location, Calgary is located in the foothills of Alberta's Rocky Mountains and is the largest city in Alberta and the fifth largest city in Canada. With a population of around one million, the city is located 151 miles north of the U.S./Canadian Border, 246 miles east of Jasper, and 176 miles south of Edmonton.
A short drive North of Calgary is the protected 'Banff National Park', which is home to grizzly and black bears, mountain caribou, moose and wolves and even bald eagles. Located within the National Park is the beautiful Lake Louise, which looks all the more impressive due to the surrounding thick alpine forrest, jagged mountain peaks, glaciers and ice fields. Have a look at flickr for more amazing pictures!
