You gotta love people who love their backyard. Here’s Sarah Geddes, owner of Calgary-based Sass Communications, with her addition to our growing Three Things list about Canadian places…

Hi Julie, greetings from Calgary, Alberta!

Three names I go by:

2. Centre of the Universe (sorry Toronto!)

3. Gateway to the Rockies

Three TV shows I watch:

1. Dragon’s Den

2. Real Life Housewives of Orange County

3. Til Debt do Us Part

Three places I have been:

1. Cowboys

2. Chinook Centre

3. Mountains

Three people who e-mail me:

1. charities

2. people looking for a job

3. people looking for a deal in the mountains

Three of my favorite foods:

1. Alberta beef

2. sushi (which some of you might find confusing)

Three things I would like to do:

1. Stop defending myself as second fiddle to TO

2. Be known for more than the Calgary Stampede

3. Be known worldwide as the gateway – worthy of a stopover – to the Canadian Rockies

Three things I am looking forward to:

1. Gaining recognition as the culinary hotspot of Canada 

2. Watching Gillian on The Bachelorette shake her Canadian/Albertan bootie on the next season

3. Handing the Olympic torch to Vancouver

OK–who’s next? Or should I say, where’s next? Leave a comment here about your hometown Three Things and I’ll turn it into a post!
