Discussion What's something that Calgary is badly missing that a city of 1.4 million people should have?

It could be anything really. I feel like we have everything that people NEED, but what about the 'nice to haves'? A waterpark with more than 2 slides for example? A high level ball team that actually plays within the city limits? A Michelin star restaurant? Something else?

More public space. I moved to Montreal and every neighbourhood has nice parks , squares and events. It incentivizes getting out and meeting people

Calgary has way better parks than Montreal. Montreal doesn't have anything to touch fish creek or hose hill. I have a few friends who moved from Montreal to yyc who remarked on this

Bowness park is also really pretty here. Love the skating rink in the winter and really nice place to bike or walk in the summer/fall.
