Calgarians faced bitterly cold temperatures on Family Day, with wind chills dropping to -34°C, though the extreme cold warning was lifted. Despite the harsh conditions, many participated in outdoor activities, including free skating at the Olympic Oval and visits to provincial museums and historic sites, which offered free admission.

Meteorologist Stephen Berg reported that while conditions remained harsh, warmer weather was expected to arrive by Thursday and persist for at least a week, with no significant cold snaps anticipated for the next two to three weeks.
