It’s the Remembrance Day long weekend. That means special services to honour those who have gone before us. It also means the kids are off school for a few days. Take a look at our weekend guide for some family fun inspiration. You can also look at our Fall Break Guide for day camp ideas or plan for winter extracurriculars with our Classes for Kids Guide.
As always, the Family Fun Calgary weekend guide is filled with the best weekend events in Calgary, but you’ll find even more ideas on our calendar.

If you’re looking for something to do on your Monday afternoon off, the City of Calgary is offering free skate and swim sessions at select arenas and pools.
