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.
