Oh, Calgary - our beautiful, diverse, and ever-changing city. After all, we are the only Canadian city that can get country hosting the "greatest outdoor show on earth", while still having a towering downtown and #lit city nightlife. Not to mention we're a stone's throw away from the most gorgeous mountain range in the world. There are many things to love about this city and even more things to love about the people who live here. Beyond being the polite Canadians everyone knows us to be, we're pretty unique in our own right. How many times have you responded "Calgary, born and raised" when people ask where you're from? Although you may be from here, are you really a "true Calgarian"? There's only one way to find out. If you grew up in Calgary, chances are: @smittytbirdembedded via 1. You pronounce it “cal-gree” and not “cal-gary” like the rest of the country. @calgarystampedeembedded via 2. You say “hey?” instead of “eh?”. @kiersaymurrayembedded via 3.
