This is a reputation that follows Calgary around the world. You might not think concerts and performances are worth anything but they contribute a lot to what little culture and arts we get here and are important in attracting young talent to the city. Not everyone Hikes or is a Skier.

Young talent will get attracted here if the economy promotes that attraction. The music scenes in the Maritimes are fantastic considering how small the cities are, that doesn't mean young people in those cities have many practical options if they want to stay put. Half of Newfoundland didn't migrate to Alberta because of the Saddledome's roof.
