Calgary is a place you don't appreciate if you grow up there. I grew up in Calgary, and have moved to London, England -- I appreciate it much more now that I'm living somewhere else. The video shows it well, Calgary has it all. Don't take it for granted if you live there, it's a rising city, only getting better.
I'm Mexican, and my aunt lives there... I've been in Calgary 4 times.... I REALLY LOVE IT. Haters, deal with it. Calgary is the best city.
Great video, I'm from New York and I've been to every major Canadian city and I think Calgary tops them all nicest people best weather greatest night life great city
I moved here from Toronto 7 years ago and love it more every day. Great video.
I first came in 1984 and have seen incredible positive change since then.Calgary has been a great place to raise my family, build a business and earn a great living.
It has a really good live music scene with many great local musicians and venues. It is developing a good arts and cultural scene as some amazing local talent and more people from elsewhere come and bring their worldview and outside influence to it.
- true its conservative but is full of decent, friendly, open positive people also
I moved to Calgary from a small town in Nova Scotia, and Calgary actually is an awesome place. If you look for negativity, thats what you'll find. I feel a sense of pride for my adoptive city when I watch this video.
I am from Massachusetts, I have traveled to western Canada,Quebec, and Ontario but never visited the Maritimes. Hope to visit Nova Scotia soon !!
Looks like a great place..i will look into it more cause of this ..thanks!
Man I love my city!......even more so now how I've witnessed it come through the flooding so fast and strong because of the awesome people who live here! Calgary....please never ever change
Props to local musicians Jocelyn and Lisa, I actually discovered their music via Reverbnation a few weeks ago, prior to watching the video. The song is dope.
I am a born and raised Calgarian and I love my city! There really is a great vibe here and oh so much to do. I can travel all over the world, but I will always come back to Calgary. It's home! Great job on capturing a glimpse of what this great city is all about.
Agreed easily one of the best cities in Canada to live, no the world! I have traveled so much in my life but Calgary always feels like home to me.
this song is for my studios finale this year. The message is really sweet. Its also perfect for Calgary, and Alberta, and Canada. OUR HOME!
This is so true, getting skate tickets downtown while traveling at a walking pace feels awesome. There is a new proposal out by Calgary Association of Skateboarding Enthusiasts to put some more parks in. Check out their site.
I really love this city, great job capturing the vibe.
Beautiful city
Love this city.
it took me a long time to love this city
I fell in love with first sight
Really why???
I saw an edited version of this video as a commercial on comedy network (from Edmonton). Very well done guys!
The series is planned to begin filming in January 2021, in-studio at the Calgary Film Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Among those involved include Lisa Henson as executive producer, and returning performers Karen Prell and Dave Goelz (who will also co-executive produce).
I miss living in Calgary and all it has to offer, but don't miss the cold winters and mosquitos in the summer. :-)
Great Video.... And I am a part of the energy.
I adore the view of the mountains from Silver Springs and miss that view.
Im moving there soon ..... cant wait..... looking forward to it
I think it's great. They obviously put a lot of hard work and energy into making a destination video with high production value and beautiful imagery!
Way too much summer in there though. Maybe more x-country skiing, tobogganing, drinking hot chocolate in the snow, zoo lights and such would help the video resonate more with locals. We aren't your target market, but we are ambassadors for the city. Great video overall though,
RIGHT HERE
c 2012 Mike Shields (SOCAN)
Right here is where I live
It’s where I breathe
It’s where I feel every moment going by
It’s where I’ve come
To feel the sun
And the freedom of this endless open sky
And I am here
Yea I’m right here
Right here is where I think
It’s where I dream
It’s where that dream has got some hope of coming true
I take a chance
And join the dance
I feel there’s nothing out there that I couldn’t do
And I am here
Yea I’m right here
Right here I feel love
I feel safe
I feel welcomed to the day with open arms
There’s something new
A change of view
A kaleidoscope of fantasy and charms
Instrumental/vocal break
And I am here
Yea I’m right here
And I am here
Yea I’m right here
Right here it feels good
I wish you could
Be with me…
Right here
I like that song
Coming up there from Arkansas in January for my 1st ever visit to AB! I've been to GTA and MTL many times, but really looking forward to seeing The West of yall's beautiful nation! Of course, I'll be seeing it from a bobsled flying 80+mph down a sheet of ice, soooo......
I love the song.
Love the video folks! :)
I LOVE THIS CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!. Best place on earth... hands down!
I've lived in Hamilton, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary. You would have a hard time taking me away from Calgary. Fresh clean air. Big blue skies. Good people. I love it.
You can see me and my boy playing on the ol'slackline in the park at 0:07, didn't realize I'd be in a video like this!
Great camera shots :D
beautiful rythm
Love the song, thank you.
Also, others move here for the outdoors and proximity to mountains. Again, this means that people are less likely to invest and spend time in the actual city itself! There are perks to Calgary, but don't move here if you want a textured, dense, and diverse urban experience. It doesn't exist.. yet. For those that do live here, please help us make it a more interesting place!
My city ❤️
I'm really looking forward to leaving this city, but boy will I be looking forward to coming back to it.
Man, I miss home so much. Want to move back to cowtown.
Well said sir, well said!
Raised in Toronto and still think is the best
I want to move there.
OMG my dad is there!!
it is the one down at Olympic Plaza
A lot of the things they showed are either low-cost ($5-$10) or free. It's always free to go to Nose Hill park, or to Prince's Island or to Olympic Plaza.
I also noticed the irony of that some of the skateboarding was shot in the "central traffic zone" downtown where skateboarding is not allowed and is fined.
Flagstaf home of the Steed in Ultimate Supreme Football and the Torch in pro hockey.
You are right, transit is a complete joke compared to major American and European cities, and it seemed like it was built without expansion in mind. However, Calgary is starting to slowly change, and it is a very clean city with lots of potential. It has a great international airport, and I believe efforts are being made to get a better transit system going. Anyhow, it's not a world class city, but it does have some things going for it.
Who sings the song?
Can you credit the producers/directors/shooters too? Awesome song, awesome singers, awesome video, I'd like to appreciate the other people behind the visuals too!
Is everyone in Calgary under 40? I didn't see a single old person in this video.
Vis Forvendetta We're the youngest city in Canada
Statistics say that a argue age of population is between 25-37 so yeah under 40
Canadians in general look younger than let say people from my area that are the comparable age in the northeast USA. I did a licence renewal for a guy from Alberta he was 60 and looked 40. I met a group of women from the tourism bureau and they are a all beautiful as well.
Okay, watched it 3 times now. Its..okay. I found it a bit choppy, and sometimes too fast to actually see what it is I was supposed to be looking at. I get it that the people looked happy, it IS an ad after all. Would have preferred to see more of what it was that was making them happy. Music, although upbeat, didnt do anything for me. Pale in comparison to Travel Alberta's "Remember to Breathe" ad.
awwww my city bietchs !!!!
i live in Calgary And i WISH that was Calgary
If it is Calgary, where we are living then!!
And how would you portray the long cold winter to potential tourists?
Yes it gets cold, yes it stays cold for long periods of time but would a tourism video from Vancouver show people running around in the rain for 90% of the ad or a video for Winnipeg showing them stacking sandbags when the Red River swells in the spring? Those are not things that attract tourists. I wouldn't call it dishonest, i'd say that we are advertising the good in our city.
I think Joe Media has done a fab job.
Myself, I lived there for 5 years
The main problem that Calgary faces is that most people move here for work and high paying jobs. That means that most people don't really care to invest much into the city/their community, don't care much for a healthy urban atmosphere/fabric, don't care much for arts/culture, etc (they move here for good jobs not for the city). There certainly are many who do want these things (like myself), but compare that to Toronto, or other major North American cities and it is really lacking.
Does it sound like the entire song is sung in French? I couldn't understand it at all and I am Canadian.
Love all the Calgary haters out there..... Canada, wake up.....Alberta and especially Calgary is whoppin your ass in almost every category, get used to it!
"best weather"
Yeah, calling bullshit on you having been here. No offense.
wow Calgary sure is full of attractive young athletic people
Funny how 90% of the video is shot in the summer when 80% of the time Calgary is covered in snow.

If you dont like it than geeett outtt
Where are all the brown-skinned people I love to see & visit with in Calgary?
I was there for almost two months, went home to Montreal, and now moving back for good. Montreal is a beautiful city, but I guess Calgary is the best place to fulfill your dreams. :)
I love Calgary, this is the best place to live and it's beautiful all year round.
I wonder why people get so mad when you express dislike for a city you live in. If someone doesn't like a city, they have a right to express their viewpoint, and if you don't like that viewpoint, don't read the comment and then post a comment expressing how offended you are. You're just as bad as the person who offended you in the first place.
There is no such thing as a perfect city. The video does a great job at highlighting some of the things that make Calgary great and diversified. Calgary has a flourishing economy with a very low crime rate compared to most major cities. Also, their backyard is surrounded by some of the most beautiful wilderness and mountain ranges in the world. I love Calgary.
I'm from Edmonton. I love the mountains, Heritage Park, Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, the Zoo, Canada Olympic Square, Community Natural Foods, Spolumbo's, Nick's, and how all the Public Libraries are easily accessible by bus. I enjoy the Hitmen, the Stampeders, the Flames, there is an awesome transit bus and train system that I use to get to all of the above. I don't need multiple pairs of black shoes, just a pair of black western boots, and since there was snowfall in the video, it's also honest.
Awwwz and lol? wth i Grew up in this city and born at the start of the time stamp of video. I'm so confused why i find no cringe(except the CPS :D ) and go like meh, yeah normal life.. good times.. I think i could manage living there?? damn time flies by!! i did ALOT in my younger years in this city, so i guess, it's all good and "normal" if your a true calgarian! :D
What a beautiful city!
Make your Calgary glass half full or better yet, embrace the good fortune you have in living here & realize that your 3/4 full glass could be brimming with the pride of living in a great city! Born & raised here and after 50+ years of traipsing the globe from Lagos to Kathmandu and Colombo to Copenhagen, I always embrace this city when I return and am proud and honoured to promote what we have wherever I go. So quit complaining and help to make this a better city by what you to do make it so!
Born in toronto, ontario, and have seen the ontario ads as well and they look wonderful, except in reality its nothing like that. Boring city, always packed, terrible roads, winter never ends, and the only nice places to see are in northern ontario, where there is actual nature whereas in southern ontario all it is, is city etc. However you barely move around if your in the south, I've been in toronto all my life, have never been to a different province cant say the same for everyone though
I don't understand what some of you are talking about! Calgary is amazing! I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; lived in New York for 13 years and I have been here for 8. Calgary is the best kept secret as far I am concerned! Yeah, no beaches but I love the sunshine and the friendliness of people - except of those, I guess, who left pretty nasty comments! AND... the director of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra is BRAZILIAN! I'm telling you... Calgary rocks!
Well done guys! Tthis is clever and well done marketing piece for people to post on social network sites and drum up interest in our city. But seriously...What's with the haters that are ripping it apart? My guess is that they're not even from here... guess what? If you don't like it, then move, no one is begging you to stay. We get it, you hate the weather, the peace bridge, the night life, the traffic, blah blah blah. It's tired - take your negativity back to where you came from haters.
I would showcase the things that make this city special. Proximity to the mountains; winter (be honest); the museums (we have two really good ones at least); the Jubilee Auditorium; trade shows; festival season (we have a festival literally EVERY weekend from late spring to early fall). What I saw was nothing but GENERIC shots of people smiling. I don't give a crap about that kind of thing... INSPIRE ME to enjoy Calgary; don't show me generic stuff!!! (and 500 chars is really short)
Great Job. I was wary about the new branding campaign (the lowercase c still doesn't make sense to me) but y'all should be proud of what you've done here.
People tell me Calgary is such a boring city, that there's nothing going on. I don't get that, there's so much going on this city. The arts and culture scene is pretty big, if you can't find something every night of every week to do, then you're not looking up from your smartphone screen..
Downtown Calgary has great urban fabric and it's improving exponentially every year. Look at the billions of dollars worth of condo developments they've seen alongside urbanization projects in the Beltline and East Village. Calgary has lots of trendy areas in and around downtown you just have to get out of the burbs is all.
I visited Calgary in 2016 and stayed in The Art Hotel. They had a TV channel that continuously repeated this video. I enjoyed this song and video so much, I must have watched it a hundred times while in the hotel. It made me fall in love with the city and it's people. I still regularly watch the video and fondly reminisce my visit. I look forward to returning some time in the future.
Did you actually watch that video - there are plenty of kids, the mountains appear, and the Stampede is there too. It's showcasing all of Calgary and it needs to appeal to the younger generation too - which it does.
Can't wait to move back to Calgary. I miss the super friendly people who are truly accepting of you whoever you are. Montreal no fun no more :(
OOOO calgary wants to start some shit?!??!?! well edmonton up here ready to lay down the law! dats right. I challenge yall niggas to a wrap battle. Especially that guy with the frisbee. I could take your 1 black guy in calgary down in a rap battle. WHAT CHYU GOT CALGARY????
Well done indeed!! Loved the snow scenes ... that's how I enjoy thenCalgary winters.
I love everything about this city. We are so lucky.
Wow! Beautiful video and city. Wishing being there.
fantastic video - I love that even though we are a world class city in so many different aspects that we still need to market ourselves to attract even more, such smart and well done thinking. This video has captured a lot of the amazing energy in only 2:49, I am grateful to live here and fortunate to have been born here. Calgary Rocks!!!
jocelyn alice and lisa jacobs did an amazing job on this :D
I think this video is great! Hip, youthful, and modern.
What I'm scared is calgary might turn out to be another Detroit once oil runs out, since most of its industry is based on energy.
It will take centuries to ru out of it and even if north passage to northern territories is trough Alberta anyway :)
we've got enough time to find solutions
Completely agree! I have lived all over the world, traveled and explored much of this planet, but I choose to live in Calgary... I was raised here and no place has ever measured up to this space; there is a joy, spirit and vibrancy to this city that cannot be described. It beats in the heart of every Calgarian.
I would also love to see the full credits.
nice song, proud Calgarian right here!
Love it :)
Here since 1984, loved it then with little over 600k population. Bough first brand new house (little ove 1000sf) in 1987 for $64k, now it costs 300k, people make just 50% more than then. Deerfoot trail is now a parking lot during rush hours, city doubled in population. Recreational places overcrouded especially after last flood that ruined infrastructure. Wish it were still as it was in the 90s. Vidoes like this attract more people from the east who either compete with not so good employment opportunities anymore or end up homeless if not having good trade or proffession. Locals get it tougher to compete over workplaces. We had good emenities compensating for harsh winters before, now it's becoming just a "rat race" city like other overpapulated cities, nothing compensating for the harsh winters. 30 year long opinion.
I agree, and I was born and raised here. It's an awful city now. I've seen all the changes.
bu ur I cannot argue but as a MAritimer myself in this beautiful city I will strive to leave it a better place when I eventually go.
dad used to tell me Calgary used to be a better place,i still love it
This is such an awesome video - excellent job!
This video makes me fall in love with the City. See you soon Calgary!
I absolutely love this city, and this video was part of the inspiration I got to move here.
