Calgary Shopping Cart

The road known as the Red Mile to hockey fans across the country provides more than a meeting place for Flames fanatics. 17th Avenue is also home to some of Calgary’s coolest shops and boutiques. Stroll between 10 St. SW and 4 St. SW – with the occasional foray north or south – and check out some of the fine fare on offer.
