The following quotes need references.

  • "Calgary is well-known as a destination for winter sports and ecotourism with a number of major mountain resorts near the city and metropolitan area."
  • "When the Canadian Pacific Railway reached the area in 1883 and a rail station was constructed, Calgary began to grow into an important commercial and agricultural centre."
  • "Calgary quickly found itself at the centre of the ensuing oil boom."
  • "The subsequent drop in oil prices and the introduction of the National Energy Program (NEP) were cited by industry as reasons for a collapse in the oil industry and consequently the overall Calgary economy. The NEP was cancelled in the mid-1980s by the Brian Mulroney federal government. However, low oil prices prevented a full recovery until the 1990s."
  • "The nearby mountain resort towns of Banff, Lake Louise, and Canmore are also becoming increasingly popular with tourists, and are bringing people into Calgary as a result"
  • "From the second paragraph in Geography down needs references"
  • "Most of the paragraphs below Geography needs references"
