Calgary Arts Academy

Information - Calgary Arts academy is the result of the combined effort of several people. And that's how Calgary Arts Academy and Research Centre was built. Five years ago, a group of concerned parents and community
members gathered to discuss the possibility of starting a school that would be different; a school that focuses on the student as its first and only customer; a school that leaves tradition behind and embraces new educational methods and learning style theories.

Calgary Blues Music Association

experiment with new ways of achieving lively streets, comfortable gathering places and wonderful culture. Let’s make
this Calgary’s post-card to the world, the first place you take out of town guests to show them the city – and exceed everyone’s expectations. What would YOU do to make this a place you love?
