Enjoy fresh air, friendly people and wide-open space as you take the time to visit Calgary and its surrounding sites. Calgary, a city of almost one million people, is one of the most popular and growing cities in Canada because of its safety, clean air, fresh water and natural surroundings.
Calgary is a big enough city that it has every thing you need, with the added benefit of large parks, bicycle trails, and the incredible Rocky Mountains close by. Our activities may very slightly depending on the season, but there will be a focus on enjoying the beauty of the Rocky Mountains; summer or winter. In winter there will definitely be an opportunity to experience skiing and snowboarding trips to the Rocky Mountains.
Your instructor has been teaching in Japan for over ten years, with a specialty in preparing students to enter university or graduate school in English speaking countries.
