Looks nice, i should go back to Calgary one day to see the changes. Last time i was there must have been ten years ago, and it was in the middle of July, and it snowed. I think it is just because of my bad timing of my last visit i have not gone back. Silly i know.

Nice photos. Last time I was there was 10 years ago too and it was only 8 Celsius in August. Very cold when you only have shorts with you.:shrug:

Very unpredictible weather in Calgary forsure...Can be +20 & golf in December, and cold a +5 in the middle of July...However, the cold in Summer is not all that common and it can get quite hot!! (+34 was out hottest this past Summer)...We'd love to have you all visit again...I'm sure Calgary will treat you well :-)
