The Other Side of Calgary Beyond the Stampede

Every July, Calgary comes alive with the excitement of the Stampede. Fireworks, parades, rodeos, and cowboy hats fill the city as people gather to celebrate freedom, joy, and community spirit.

But just a few blocks away, something quieter is happening—

🚧 Walls are rising, bricks are stacking, quietly shaping the future of the city.

This is Calgary's dual identity:

  • On one side: the noise, the celebration, the fleeting moments of festivity.

  • On the other side: the calm, the construction, the continuous journey of growth.

For us, the Stampede is not just a celebration— It is a reminder that a city’s beauty comes not only from its brightest moments but also from the everyday efforts that build its future.

Through our lens, we captured this side of Calgary—the side that is always building, always growing.
