Reviews

[Sam · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a comprehensive guide to what turns out to be more than just a large country but one with a varied and immensely interesting history and culture from the splendor of its countryside to the carnage on its ice rinks. I read this mainly for its information on Calgary and surroundings but ended up going through the rest as well. The only problem is that I now want to visit everywhere!
