5/5

This year we decided to replace our roof. The old roof was 25 years old, wood shingles and had reached the end of its life. We reached out to several roof installation companies and after meeting with Tyler at Interlock decided to invest in a roof that would protect the house well into our retirement. We agreed on a date and the crew showed up and within 7 days the old roof was gone and the new roof was installed. The crew didn’t start too early and made every effort to leave a clean worksite before they left every day. During the construction it rained but the crew ensured that the water proofing would keep the water out – and it did. The new roof looks great. The crew added addition roof vents to improve house circulation and the house is cooler. Thanks for the great work!

Home of the Calgary Stampede

Calgary is famous for hosting “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth,” the Calgary Stampede, a 10-day event every July that features rodeo competitions, parades, concerts, and carnival activities. It attracts over a million visitors each year.

Calgary is one of Canada’s sunniest major cities, with an average of 333 sunny days per year and over 2,400 hours of sunshine annually. This makes it a great place for outdoor activities year-round.

Calgary’s nickname, “Cowtown,” comes from its historical roots as a cattle-ranching hub. The city’s western heritage is still celebrated today, especially during the Calgary Stampede.

Calgary experiences warm, dry winds called Chinooks that can raise winter temperatures by as much as 20°C (36°F) in a matter of hours. This natural phenomenon often brings a sudden break from the cold and is unique to the region.

The Calgary Stampede also holds the distinction of hosting the world’s first indoor rodeo in 1912. Since then, it has become one of the largest and most famous rodeos in the world.

Calgary is only about an hour’s drive from Banff and the stunning Rocky Mountains, making it a gateway for skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and other outdoor adventures.

Calgary’s downtown is connected by a network of covered pedestrian walkways called the +15 Skywalk (Plus 15), named because they are 15 feet above street level. At 18 kilometers (11 miles), it’s one of the longest networks of its kind in the world.

Calgary is known as the energy capital of Canada. It is home to the head offices of many major oil and gas companies, and the energy sector plays a significant role in the local economy.

Calgary hosted the Winter Olympics in 1988, which left a lasting legacy. The city has world-class winter sports facilities, including Canada Olympic Park, which is used for training and recreational purposes.

The Caesar, a popular Canadian cocktail made with Clamato juice, vodka, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, was invented in Calgary in 1969 by Walter Chell, a bartender at the Calgary Inn (now the Westin Hotel).
