February is all about celebrating community and embracing the best of Calgary’s winter season. From lending a hand as a Snow Angel to enjoying the vibrant festivities of Chinook Blast, there’s no shortage of ways to connect, support, and enjoy what makes our city so special. Read on for all the details and get involved!
Become a Snow Angel
Being a Snow Angel is simple—just adopt a sidewalk and keep it clear of snow! Keep an eye out for neighbours who may need a hand, like older adults, those with limited mobility, or anyone temporarily unable to shovel. By lending a helping hand, you’re making your community safer and more connected.
The City recognizes these everyday heroes with printed certificates during the annual Snow Angels campaign, which runs from December to mid-April. If you know someone who deserves to be celebrated for their kindness, don’t forget to nominate them! Visit calgary.ca/volunteer/snow-angels to learn more.
Chinook Blast, January 31 to February 17
February is here, and with it comes Chinook Blast, Calgary’s iconic winter celebration! From now until February 17, this vibrant festival will light up the city with world-class entertainment, cultural experiences, and free outdoor programming for all ages. This year, while Olympic Plaza undergoes construction, the festival’s core activities will take place at Stephen Avenue and The Confluence, with additional events happening throughout Calgary. Whether you’re exploring stunning light installations, enjoying live music, or taking in the city’s unique cultural offerings, Chinook Blast is a chance to embrace the magic of winter and celebrate the best of Calgary.
