Calgary City Hall National Historic Site of Canada

Calgary City Hall National Historic Site of Canada

716 Macleod Trail SE, Calgary, Alberta

Completed in 1911, this building reflected the city's urban aspirations during its pre-1914 development boom. Designed by Regina architect William M. Dodd in the Romanesque Revival style often favoured for large municpal halls in the late 19th centure, it was constructed of Calgary's distinctive local sandstone.

    A great pride that Canadian citizens share is the Canadian national parks. These parks represent our protection of Canada's true soil and our values in maintaining Canadian heritage. The preservation of these parks allows for the environment to run its course in an entirely natural way, thus when a tragedy such as a forest fire occurs, nature restores the land's beauty with gorgeous foliage such as fire weed. This symbolizes how Canada and its citizens will continue to prosper in a positive manner regardless of the events that occur and that our Canadian identity will flourish with pride.

    City Hall is a beautiful landmark combining the new and the old.. It is still used a lot to this day as the head quarters for City Council. I like that this is where parts of superman were filmed.
