Tuesday in Calgary: Cold, Clear-ish, and a Hitmen Night at the Dome

Morning, Calgary. It's a Tuesday in November, and the city's sitting at a crisp 6°C under mostly cloudy skies. UV is basically nothing today, so sunglasses can stay in the glovebox, but you'll want a real jacket on the way out the door. The sun sets at 5:56 PM, so you've got about nine hours of daylight to work with. Plan any errands or walks before supper and you'll be fine.

If you're heading out on the roads, check the Foothills road conditions and cameras before you leave, since that's the one traffic item on the board this morning. Give yourself a few extra minutes on the commute and you'll be fine.

A few things from around town worth knowing this morning. The Alberta Prosperity Project is holding its Okotoks town hall today, and it's happening in the middle of a real dispute over the CEO's removal, so it may be a lively one. Over in the city, council turned down the Meridian site for Home Space supportive housing, which is going to keep that conversation going. And Calgary police have charged a man in the 2006 Forest Heights sexual assault cold case after a DNA match, a long wait for the people involved. On a lighter note, the business side had a mixed read: Alberta is adding jobs, though not many of them in energy, and the Calgary region is forecast to keep growing steadily through 2031.

If you're hungry tonight, Calgary's mac and cheese scene has seven standouts across the city, and the taco list just got a lot more tempting with eleven spots covering everything from braised beef to birria. Kensington's old wine bar space has a new tenant in Tipsie, so that's worth a look if you're in the neighbourhood after work. Soul Sisters Café opens its doors in Okotoks on Saturday at Air Ranch Plaza, if you're out that way for the weekend.

Tonight's the night for the Hitmen. They're home against the Lethbridge Hurricanes at the Scotiabank Saddledome at 7:00 PM, so if you've got a hockey itch, the Dome is the place to scratch it. If that's not your thing, Wolf Parade and Destroyer are playing The Palace Theatre at 7:00 PM, Disney's Beauty and the Beast is on at the Jubilee at 7:30 PM, and Kyla Cobbler is at MacEwan Hall at 8:00 PM. Everything tonight is indoors, so the weather won't be a factor. Pick your vibe: loud and sweaty at the Dome, something a little moodier at The Palace, or a night out for the whole family at the Jubilee.

And if you're looking ahead, the Grey Cup Festival lands tomorrow, so the weekend's going to be busy. Keep an eye out for it.

That's your Tuesday, Calgary. Dress warm, leave a little early, and enjoy the game.
