Calgary benefits from having a much larger and older LRT network, which has resulted in dozens of city centre TOL residential buildings near Sunnyside, Downtown West, City Hall, Stampede and Bridgeland/Memorial stations. There is even new residential development happening along the downtown core’s For shoppers, Ottawa’s Rideau Centre is a mega indoor mall, with Nordstroms, Simons and Apple Store as its anchors, with the Bay attached by a 30-plus skybridge. Calgary’s the Core has many of the same shops, with Holt Renfrew, Simons and The Bay as its three department store anchors.
Parks are critical to urban recreation for both passive and active activities. Ottawa’s major downtown park is Major’s Hill Park at the confluence of the Rideau Canal and Ottawa River. The Calgary equivalent would be the Bow River Islands or perhaps Fort Calgary Park. Ottawa does have the Victoria Island Park in the Ottawa River, but it is less connected to everyday urban living than Calgary’s island parks.
While Calgary wins hands down with its funky new Central Library, Ottawa wins when it comes to the visual arts with its cathedral-like National Gallery. Calgary’s Contemporary Calgary public art gallery , as well as the existing Esker Foundation Gallery are both architectural gems, just not on the scale of the National Gallery architecturally or scale of exhibitions.
Both cities have two art house cinemas. And when it comes to festivals, both have the usual cultural festivals as well as ethnic festivals. Ottawa’s city centre has two signature downtown festivals — Tulip Festival and Winterlude, while Calgary’s signature festivals are the Calgary Stampede and the Lilac Street Festival.
