We were delighted to discover the Calgary Film Centre, a first-class facility that could accommodate our timing. And when we learned of Alberta&#8217;s fantastic rebate structure, Calgary became the obvious choice. We are so grateful to Mayor Nenshi and Minister Schweitzer for welcoming <em>Fraggle Rock<\/em> back to Canada.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-1750286708\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s great news for Calgary and Alberta,&#8221; said Mayor Nenshi. &#8220;We are very proud of the talent in our film sector here, as well as Calgary&#8217;s reputation as a world leader in the art of puppetry. How exciting that Jim Henson&#8217;s vision is being continued right here. I can&#8217;t wait to see the further adventures of the Fraggles and the Doozers, with a Calgary touch!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Alberta minister who oversees the rebate is Doug Schweitzer, Minister of Jobs, Economy, and Innovation. &#8220;I grew up with <em>Fraggle Rock<\/em>, and I&#8217;m excited that a new generation will get to experience a new vision of the show, filmed right here in Calgary.
