Question : I will be moving to Calgary, AB in October. How cold is it? What should I wear?
I will be travelling any where from Trail-BC, Banff, and Cardston quite regularly but remained headquartered in Calgary. Does the weather change much between these locations? I will be outdoors alot, but will need to wear buissness attire. Any suggestions on proper clothing would be great.

Well Calgary it cooler than B.C but in Oct it can be anywhere from 20 degrees to -10 I would guess. In the winter they have chinooks because of the mountains which warms things up.

Answer #3
Well Calgary is funny in the winter because it can be -30 one minute and +15 the next. It's called a chinook. Trail and Banff are more consistantly cold in the winter because it is in the mountains. Cardston will be more similar to Calgary. all I can suggest is wearing layers and always bringing a pair of boots along with your dress shoes. Although I wouldn't be surprised if you find that no one else dresses up that much.
