Yes, the grass will turn green almost overnight sometime in late May, and will stay mostly green till end Oct, then it will be brown again, or white ( ).
In fact, Calgary can look spectacular in foliage, colour and lushness, but it is for a pretty short amount of time. Make the most of it, the locals do.

The grass is turning green already on some south facing slopes in town.

We vicariously absorb early greenery from the nearby golf course The covers have been coming off this week and the greens are already way ahead of the rest of the landscape. I saw about four blades of greenery in my own garden this week, but I don't think that counts yet

The grass stays green here through winter and turns brown in the summer

I thought the grass is greener the whole time.

Except when Montreal smokes the Leafs!

They don't sell Twiglets!

I thought Vancouver was the place to go to smoke the 'leaf'

That isn't good! Maybe they have them in the British stores?

what about when you are told you are not allowed to fit a block heater or it will void the warranty, eh, eh, what about that then??

Are you saying someone actually said that, in north central Alberta?

yep, from the dealership. i took out an extended warranty and was considering it, i've managed so far but only by the skin of my teeth, anyway was told no, would invalidate the warranty. so there you go. i am no mechanic so am just going with what i am told.

I bet they would offer to fit one for you though, for a fee ?

I have never in 46 years of living here heard anything so stupid.

What kind of car and was the dealership that of the same manufacturer?

My new car came with one I had no choice "mandatory option" Toyota called it.

no, thats how it came about, cause it hasn't got one, was trying to work a freebie into the deal, it was just a flat no!
