ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR YOUR UPCOMING TRIP TO CALGARY

Because we are all heading ot Calgary in January, there are a few essential tips to help you prepare and make the most of your trip. Calgary’s winter can be cold and snowy, but it’s also a great time to experience its outdoor activities, culture, and hospitality!

HERE’S A LIST OF TIPS TO MAKE YOUR TRIP SMOOTH AND ENJOYABLE:

Passport

Ensure you’re travel-ready by checking that your passport is valid. You’ll need it to enter Canada, so double-check its expiration date well in advance.

Currency

In Calgary, the official currency is the Canadian Dollar (CAD). Be sure to have some on hand for smaller purchases, though credit cards are widely accepted.

Be Prepared for Winter Weather:

January in Calgary can be very cold, with temperatures typically ranging from -10°C to -20°C (14°F to -4°F), and it can feel even colder with windchill. It’s not uncommon for temperatures to dip even lower, so dressing in layers is key.

Meeting Locations

Ensure you know where our hotel and meetings are taking place. Calgary’s downtown area is compact, but traffic can be challenging in winter, so leave extra time for travel.

Transportation Tips:

  • Airport: Calgary International Airport (YYC) is the main airport, and it’s about 20 minutes from downtown Calgary. In winter, make sure your transport (whether taxi, Uber, or rental car) is equipped to handle snowy conditions
  • Rental Cars: If you’re planning to rent a car, be aware that you may need winter tires or chains during snowy weather. Make sure the vehicle is equipped for winter driving.
  • Ridesharing: Uber and Lyft operate in Calgary, but you might experience longer waiting times during peak hours
