Welcome to Alberta!
Official clothing of NAFDMA 07 Convention
Or how to dress like an Albertan for our visitors from milder climates
Toque (knit hat for head) or scarf - Its nippy if you want to go
for a walk.
Headband If you dont want your hair to get mussed
up by wearing a toque.
Mittens or gloves
Sweater and long sleeved shirts
Wear layers The one thing we cannot guarantee is snow. Dress in
LAYERS because February is chinook month and the temperature can
fluctuate 10Ί - 15Ί C in a few hours. A chinook is a warm, dry wind
that comes over the Rocky Mountains from the west. The
temperature in the foothills can range from 11Ί C (12Ί F) to 0Ί C
(32Ί F). Be sure to check the current forecast before heading out.
Waterproof shoes or boots
Warm socks Wool is great. Feet will get cold standing at tour stops and on the bus.
Heavy jacket or parka (windproof)
Swimsuit The hotel has a pool and hot tub
Work out gear The hotel has a fitness facility
Cowboy boots - We are in Calgary after all, home of the Calgary Stampede.
Sunglasses
What we Albertans have learned so far:
Yes, its winter and its not going to slow us down. Alberta is built to operate sun or snow!
We are four season friendly.
Alberta is a province of extremes: flat prairie, rolling foothills and majestic mountains. We will experience it all.

Sunny Alberta |  | | Bring your sunglasses. If we get lucky and have snow on the ground
and the sun shines, it can be blinding. We want you to enjoy the view.
The air in the Calgary area is very dry, so pack your favorite
moisturizer and lip balm, too. |
