This past weekend in Calgary was a vibrant mix of festive cheer, sporting rivalry, and the season's first proper snowfall, all captured through the lenses of Postmedia photographers.
First Flurries and Winter Walks
The weekend began with a picturesque coating of snow on Friday, November 14, 2025. The white stuff didn't bother Border Collie Nova one bit, who was photographed enjoying a romp at Tom Campbell's Hill. Meanwhile, a couple was seen braving the flurries for a walk along the Glenmore Reservoir, with the downtown skyline obscured by the falling snow.
Festive Markets and Civic Events
On Saturday, the holiday season officially kicked off with the annual Spruce Meadows Christmas MarketMiracle at the Meadows relaxation station.
Also on Saturday, a Palestinian flag-raising ceremony proceeded at Calgary City Hall. The event drew a crowd waving flags, with coffee and treats available for participants.
NHL Action at the Saddledome
The sporting highlight of the weekend was the NHL clash between the Calgary Flames and the Winnipeg Jets at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday, November 15, 2025. Despite a third-period goal from Matt Coronato—celebrated with teammates Adam Klapka and Morgan Frost—the Flames were unable to secure a win against the Jets.
Key moments from the game included Blake Coleman protecting the puck from Winnipeg's Gustav Nyquist and a critical save by Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck on a Flames scoring chance.
From the quiet beauty of a snowy hill to the excited crowds at the market and the roaring energy of the hockey arena, the weekend of November 14-16 offered a diverse snapshot of life in Calgary.
