Our experience and tips on using this guide
We have traveled and visited Vancouver numerous times throughout the years we lived in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Vancouver is home to one of the biggest airports in the country, and we fly from there often. In doing so, we always squeeze in 1-3 days in Vancouver to explore, and enjoy weekend getaways!

So if I were to wear a -20 degree parka, tall warm boots, scarves, gloves, and beanie in Alberta and Saskatchewan, I get by with a light jacket or a thick cardigan, ankle-length boots, and warm cap 🙂 yes, you get it. It is mild.
Look at the temperature for the 3 months, and depending on your cold threshold pack accordingly.
