Sources and verification

Last checked: 2026-11-04. How: We read the City's 14-day drop-in lists for Nov 4-25, 2026 (four list pages per schedule). A session counts as weekly only if the same activity, arena, weekday and time is listed 3 or more times; everything else is shown as a dated note. The City updates its lists daily at 6 a.m., so always check the live schedule before you go.

If anything here differs from the City of Calgary page, the City page is right. The City has not reviewed this page.
