These elevated walkways allow Calgarians to walk around downtown in weather-protected comfort any time of year. The mezzanine levels of the connected buildings are packed with cafes, shops, public art pieces and essential downtown services like shoe-shine stands.
If the streets of downtown Calgary look a little empty, look up, 15 feet up, and you’ll notice enclosed glass walkways connecting many of the office towers and shopping centres. There are over 16 kms of pathways, making it the largest pathway network in North America.
Waydowntown is an indie film about office workers competing to see who can survive the longest without leaving the skywalks.
