In October 1964, CBC Radio Calgary launched a new, 24-hours-a-day service for listeners in southern Alberta. Sixty years later, CBC Calgary celebrated their anniversary with community members at an open house. Attendees toured the station, met CBC hosts and journalists, and took part in interactive experiences like mock broadcasts and hands-on workshops.

It was an opportunity to meet CBC hosts and journalists, tour the station, take part in interactive experiences like mock broadcasts and hands-on workshops, and learn about the past and present of CBC Calgary. Approximately 425 people attended the event.

Here's a selection of photos from the event.
