Calgary snags top 50 spot in new ranking of world’s best cities for 2021

To anyone who lives within its limits, Calgary is one of the best cities in the entire world. This is why it really came as no surprise when those beyond our borderlines actually agreed with us.

According to a recent report published by Resonance, a globally renowned company that actually specializes in tourism, YYC was among the top 50 on the planet.

Each city was broken down and judged on everything from demographic and infrastructure to culture and prosperity, taking into account how desirable it was for not only locals but visitors and business people as well. It was extremely extensive – so we should be impressed with ourselves!
