I find the Canadian cities I've been to generally are not great for culture, and Calgary has an underground scene, but it's pretty dead on the surface. Vancouver is significantly better than Calgary for culture I would say. Vancouver does not come close to world class culture in my opinion, but what could really expect from a city of 3 million with a short history. Still, here I am living in a city of 22 million and I wish there was the same level of culture here as there was in Vancouver (particularly music). Most of the world class cities for culture have way more culture than any person could take advantage of in a lifetime anyways. You really only need enough culture to get by on. I think the biggest problem in Calgary is the ease of finding underground culture.
