SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Your safety is important to us. We continue to work with our programming partners, health officials, Alberta Health Services, and the City of Calgary to ensure that everyone at Chinook Blast has a fun and safe experience.
January and February are prime windows for Calgary’s signature chinooks! However, we know that weather in Calgary is unpredictable – if the temperature dips below what is safe to be outside, Chinook Blast will pause outdoor activities until the weather warms up.
