Today two of the most important destinations for winter sporting as well as professional training facilities are the Canada Olympic Park and the Olympic Oval. Little surprise then that people of Calgary are passionate about winter sports. And while you go skiing, snowboarding, speed skating or watching ice hockey at these venues, watch out for single and successful men who might be taking a day off from making millions to enjoy the outdoors.

Visit luxury resorts

If you want to catch the jet setting crowd of Calgary chilling out, head for the luxury resorts in the nearby mountains. It is here that rich and famous wine and dine while also polishing their skiing skills along the bracing mountainside. The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Castle Mountain Resort, Banff Springs Mountain Resort, the Landings at Cougar Ridge are some of the luxury destinations in the mountains which lie close to the city. Book a couple of days at any one of these exclusive resorts and try to mingle as much as you can with the guests. However if you find the hotel rates way beyond your resources, plan a day trip at one of these skiing destinations and make full use of the time you have at hand.

Upscale bars and pubs

When the rich and single men of Calgary are not adding on to the millions they already have stashed away, they can be found relaxing with a drink at the many upscale watering holes of the city. For those who are fond of fine wines, the places to hang out would be the Blue Rock Wine and Cigar Bar, the Charlie’s Wine Bar and Grille or Murrieta’s while those fond of their coffee and cakes might be found sampling the delights of Deville’s. Lovers of pure spirits can however find their kind of drink at Cowboys, Auburn Saloon, Drum and Monkey and Ming’s. Besides these there are lounge bars and cocktail bars which offer a more relaxed atmosphere with music as well as those which have great food to go with the spirits.

Swanky nightclubs

Calgary is justly famous as having one of the most happening night-scenes in the country. The wealthy guests of the city are spoilt for choice when it comes to finding a place to boogie the night away. With loads of music, dance and drinks, there are several exclusive nightspots in Calgary where you can wait with a drink for a rich single to ask you to the dance floor. The Back Alley, Tantra, Bermuda Triangle, and the Broken City are some of the destinations where the hippest crowds and the biggest parties can be found.

Frequent affluent neighborhoods

Relationship advisors point out that one of the sure-fire ways to meet a wealthy single is to live near where they do. And if it is just a small pad that you can afford, living among the rich would allow you to mingle with them on a regular basis. In Calgary, the south-west quadrant includes several neighborhoods where the most affluent citizens reside. Among the neighborhoods in this area which have some of the highest median household income are Bayview, Bel-Aire, Eagle Ridge, Roxboro, Elbow Park, Rideau Park, Pump Hill and Britannia. Other areas of the city like Mount Royal and some other places in the northwest suburbs like Deerfoot Trail are also well known for their wealthy residents. However if a place in these areas is beyond your reach, think of frequenting the coffee shops or jogging along the neighboring parks which will make you a familiar face in the neighborhood.

Finally, meeting a rich and single man is as much a matter of luck as of hard work. So while you go ahead with your plan of frequenting all places where the wealthy hang out, don’t forget to offer a silent prayer to Lady Luck for that extra bit of largesse which will help you to cross ways with the man of your dreams.
