The Calgary City Hall (often called Historic City Hall or Old City Hall) is an iconic government building and one of the city's most significant landmarks in downtown Calgary. Constructed between 1907 and 1911, it is the oldest surviving city hall in Alberta.

 

The building is a prime example of the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style and was built using Calgary's distinctive local Paskapoo sandstone, which gave Calgary its "Sandstone City" nickname. Its most notable feature is the central clock tower.

 

Although most municipal administration moved to the adjacent, modern Calgary Municipal Building (built in 1985), the historic City Hall building still houses the Office of the Mayor and City Councillors. It has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada for its heritage value.

After hours of rain the rodeo show started. It was a battle of mud. Impressive experience although from my point of view this kind of horse sport could be criticised.

 

Nach stundenlangem Regen am Morgen war die große Rodeo eine einzige Schlammschlacht. Eine durchaus beeindruckende Veranstaltung, obwohl ich diese Form von Pferdesport eher kritisch sehe.

Fort Calgary was established in 1875 as Fort Brisebois by the North-West Mounted Police at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers, on traditional Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) territory in what is now called Calgary. The fort was built to control the illegal American whiskey trade, to make way for the coming Canadian Pacific Railway, and to create 'good relations' with the Indigenous peoples of the territory. The site was purchased by the City of Calgary in 1974 and reopened in 1978 as a historic site and museum.

 

Often on my walks around town I take my bucket and litter picker along and clean up what I can , on the whole the city is very clean and on this day I did around 10 to 12 bucket fulls. every bit helps that is for sure.
