    • For us 'Dutchies' a must see activity.
    From downtown Calgary take the train (for a couple of dollars) till University Station. Just outside the station on the Campus grounds you will find a map of Calgary University Campus with the Olympic Oval.

    This covered speed skating oval, was built for the Olympic Winter Games in 1988.

    If you are lucky (as we were) you can see Dutch speed-skaters on their training sessions.

     Jaap, a good first visit to my home town, hope you enjoy my tips, but yes the speed skating oval is a busy place, practices and competitions. Great legacy.
