THE PAYOFF
Why Calgary is Great for Team Building
The practical reasons Calgary works when you need to get a team together.
-
Easy to Get Everyone There
YYC sits about 17 minutes from downtown by car, and the Plus 15’s climate-controlled skywalks connect most downtown hotels and offices without ever stepping outside.
-
Indoor and Outdoor, Any Season
Fish Creek Provincial Park and Nose Hill Park for outdoor formats, and downtown venues like the Fairmont Palliser or the BMO Centre for everything else. Any time of year works.
-
Venues for Any Group Size
A boardroom of twenty at the Fairmont Palliser, or a slice of the BMO Centre’s 565,000 square feet, which holds a combined 33,000 people at Stampede Park.
-
A Downtown Built to Explore
Downtown and the Beltline share a Walk Score of 91, one of the most walkable stretches in Alberta, which is enough runway for a scavenger hunt or city challenge on foot.
-
Somewhere to Celebrate After
The Beltline’s 17th Ave strip is a short walk from most downtown venues once the event wraps.

Fun was had by all! The activity was energizing and a great way to see downtown. It was also an enjoyable way to give back to the city of Calgary. 10/10!
Shire
I cannot think of any improvements
I loved that we were all able to get together in teams of people from around the company. We do not always get a chance to do this, so it was a great experience to be able to run around the city and work together with people from our fabulous company. It was a huge surprise and a huge success. We loved being outside, being silly and working as a team. I think the event was pretty spectacular and at this time I cannot think of any improvements. It was very well done!
