Howdy Pat and Anita,
Sure wish I would have known you were comin to town...I would have baked a
cake!!
In response to your question the proper way to say it is Cal gry......the
ones who say Cal Gary are usually transplants.....either that or else they
grew up with a bunch of brothers....one named Cal and the other named Gary
...lol
Glad you enjoyed the trip!!

We got off the plane in Calgary last week and the stewardess
said, "Welcome to Cal gary' " . The emphasis was on the last
syllable. I said that I had always heard the city name as Cal' gry
with the accent on the first syllable.
So our group made a point of asking people that we met--drivers,
clerks, waitresses. The response was about 9-1 in favor of the
Cal' gry pronunciation.
Anyway, we enjoyed ourselves and really spurred on the economy
with the shopping and sightseeing.
Pat and Anita
