What do I need to know about staying Calgary?

Calgary is a mountain high city, 1,048 metres above sea level therefore the climate is mostly dry with low levels of humidity. By Canadian standards, winter in Calgary is pleasant and only dips below -10C for a few weeks of the year. This is also made more manageable by the city’s proximity to the Rockies with many breath-taking ski and snowboarding opportunities to choose from. Around one-in-three people living in Calgary were born outside of Canada, so the city is very diverse and consists of an energetic blend of people and cultures.
