Howdy, my name is Rob Lennard, known across Canada as "Alberta's History Wrangler". I am passionate about showing tourists from around the world the great places to visit in southern Alberta, including the majestic Rocky Mountains, and The Cowboy Trail (where the show Heartland is filmed). I also hope you allow me to show you Dinosaurs in Drumheller, Indigenous historic spots and the great city of Calgary as a whole, home of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics and The Calgary Stampede, known as "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth". Speaking of which, I have had the joy of performing in 8 Calgary Stampedes and in the Opening Ceremonies of the Calgary Winter Olympics! Next, I have been referred to by Global News Television as "Alberta's Walking Encyclopedia" and apart from conducting tours, I am the historian at the historic Bow Valley Ranche, the Ambassador of the Cowboy Trail and producer of The History Wrangler Show that is seen across Canada on The Cowboy Channel. I am also an award winning singer/songwriter who writes upbeat historical based songs, as well as an author who wrote a best selling book for the Calgary Stampede Centennial. A signed copy of this book is given to each wonderful group that I tour. Finally, I bring my guitar along on my tours which further adds to my one-of-a-kind tour experience. Awards/Accolades received for writing, singing and sharing Alberta history include the following: Alberta Centennial Medal Alberta Heritage Awareness Award Governor General of Canada Sovereign Medal City of Calgary. Award for Heritage Vice Regal Commendation Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Medal Nominated for: King Charles Coronation Medal Medical Training: Advanced Medical Certificate. Number of countries visited: 38 and counting.

Overview of your Calgary tour
This tour combines the fascinating history and culture of the great First Nation of Siksika and their great Chief Crowfoot who signed Treaty 7 on behalf of the Blackfoot Confederacy at Blackfoot Crossing! It also encompasses a journey to Drumheller, land of dinosaurs and coal mines, and a visit to a world renowned museum! In addition to this, we'll get to hike at the Hoodoos rock formations that have been carved into pillar like shapes over millions of years, and see the Horseshoe Canyon (approximately 72 million) which seems to be "out of this world". These places are personal to me as the heroes in my historical fiction books are from both Drumheller and the Siksika Nation. I received 2 awards for one book, and the other was judged as one Canada's finest First Nation books. I enjoy sharing my research enthusiastically with travelers from all over. Finally, I also, provide a live concert during a meal at a vintage restaurant with my guitar as well as perform a few other classic songs along the way!
