OLD TIME RIGS
Tour downtown Calgary in a horse-drawn old time rig. DTA volunteers will be randomly giving out these free tickets to people at Fluor Rope Square this year. Ticket holders are then escorted from Fluor Rope Square at 9:30 a.m. to the departure point on 9th Avenue and 1st Street SW (EnCana Place across from the Palliser Hotel). The tour leaves at 10 a.m. and takes approximately one hour.
