  • The Bragg Creek Opportunity Banff National Park, Canada’S First National Park
    As a global energy superpower, the City of Calgary is expected to double its population to over three million people by 2050, with this extraordinary growth being largely driven by the fact that Calgary is the epicentre of Canada’s vast strength in the hydrocarbon sector. While global markets remain shaky due to crushing sovereign debt, Canada is widely considered an investment safe haven – in large part thanks to Alberta’s energy industry fueling the country’s continued economic growth. It is often said that people from Calgary work hard and play hard; and when it’s time to play, many head right for Kananaskis Country, Alberta’s only provincial mountain park and its very own Crown jewel. Officially designated in 1976 by former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed, this 4,200 square-kilometre, world-class forestry reserve begins its vast sprawl at Bragg Creek, only half-an-hour west of Calgary, and extends directly into the world-renowned The Bragg Creek Opportunity Banff National Park, Canada’s first national park. Kananaskis Country was intentionally created to provide Albertans with a place to recharge their batteries, and as Calgary begins to reach its full potential, the appeal of this one-of-a-kind, natural recreation Mecca will increase exponentially. , When I met Peter Lougheed last summer, he told me that he and Calling Artists his team always envisioned a second Kananaskis Village. Bragg Creek’s strategic proximity to both Calgary and Kananaskis Country certainly makes it ideally positioned to fulfill that pioneering vision. and Investors Bragg Creek is the closest gateway to Kananaskis Country for the vast majority of Calgary residents, and by keeping commercial development outside of Kananaskis Country, the picturesque hamlet is also the most ecologically sound ‘second village’ option.
