A large city of Alberta, located on the Bow River, in the southern part of the province, at the meeting of the Canadian prairies and the Rocky Montains foothills. The city started as a trading post(fur trade, bison hunting and illicit-whisky trading) with the construction of a fort named Fort Calgary by the North-West Mounted Police at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers in 1876.(The word Calgary, of Gaelic origin, means "bay farm. ") "Fort Calgary" is linked to Canada by the railway in 1883; the Canadian Pacific Railway(CPR) Company laid out its town site where the city now lies. Incorporated under the name "Calgary" in 1884, the town received the city status in 1893. Financial centre of Western Canada and headquarters of Canada's oil and natural gas industries, Calgary, host of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games, is the fastest growing Canadian city in the West.

Grande ville de l'Alberta située sur la rivière Bow, dans la partie sud de la province, à la rencontre des prairies canadiennes et du contrefort des montagnes Rocheuses. On l'appelle communément «la ville de Calgary», bien qu'elle ait le statut de cité en raison de son caractère politique et de l'importance de sa population. La ville doit sa naissance au commerce (commerce des fourrures, chasse au bison et contrebande de whisky) avec la construction, en 1876, du fort Calgary par la Police à cheval du Nord-Ouest au confluent des rivières Bow et Elbow. En 1883, l'agglomération de «Fort Calgary» est liée au Canada par chemin de fer; en 1884, la compagnie Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) Company déménage ses installations sur le site actuel de la ville. Incorporée sous le nom de «Calgary» en 1884, la municipalité reçoit le statut de cité en 1893.

The veneration of trees was a prominent theme in the Paganism of ancient and classical times. Many rituals took place in sacred groves and much of their symbolism involved the cosmic tree; its branches supported the heavens, its roots penetrated the underworld, and its trunk was the centre of the earth. The mysteries of the forest can be incorporated into modern Paganism. This gives a new perspective on the cycle of seasonal festivals.
