Calgary Live Camera, Alberta

This live camera from DELTATECH Calgary brings you a real-time look at Calgary, Alberta's largest city, set where the prairies meet the foothills of the Canadian Rockies.

Calgary grew from a North-West Mounted Police fort founded in 1875 into a modern city of glass towers, the center of Canada's oil and gas industry. Its skyline is anchored by the Calgary Tower and a cluster of downtown skyscrapers, and on clear days the snow-capped Rockies line the western horizon. The Bow and Elbow rivers meet near downtown.

The city is best known for the Calgary Stampede, the ten-day rodeo and festival held every July that draws visitors from around the world, and as host of the 1988 Winter Olympics. It is also the gateway to Banff and Lake Louise, about 90 minutes west.

Calgary's weather is famously variable. Winters can be bitterly cold, but warm chinook winds sometimes sweep down from the mountains and raise temperatures dramatically in hours, often marked by the chinook arch, a band of clear sky over the Rockies. Summers are sunny, with thunderstorms and the occasional hailstorm.

Watch at sunset or on a snowy evening for a beautiful view of the city.
