And how best to exorcise any nagging demons? A short, terrifying, exhilarating ride in a bobsleigh down the track at Canada Olympic Park should take care of you. (Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can. I started screaming at the top and exhaled loudly and vociferously until the bottom. It was extremely… therapeutic. Remember: do something every day that scares you).

Last, but most certainly not least, if you visit in the first part of July, you will be swept up in the excitement of the Calgary Stampede, The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth. A few good YAHOOs! and you'll be fine.
