Stop melting. Some days the scorching sun can be more than we can handle. But it doesn't mean that you need to spend all day sitting in front of a fan. We've made a list of things to do in Calgary this summer that can cool you off if you can't handle the heat.
Instead of wasting all of the hottest days locked up in your apartment trying to stay cool, we have better options.
There is nothing better than splashing into a pool of refreshing water. For the ultimate swimming spot, you'll want to check out Hotel Arts Poolside, which feels like a trip to Miami.
Or you could always meet your BFF and go for a treat. For the latest summer treat, you have to bite into a unicorn cakesicle. It's better than ice cream.

It is time to put on some sunscreen and your sunglasses. There is no sense missing out on making some fantastic memories.
