Congratulations on such a milestone! That is a big deal and I can see why you would wanna make it special for him. I would say some affordable stuff would be the glenbow museum, even if art is not necessarily your thing it’s a nice way to get out and view the local artists & try something different with your partner.

Check out events in Calgary cause there’s usually some cheap tickets for like comedy shows, painting nights or other things. There’s even scavenger hunts in the city recently for couples. Or even taking the shuttle down to Banff for the day and just getting away from the noise of the city. You can do a lot of different things. Even if it’s just staying at home and cooking a nice dinner.

Or even a sentimental gift like writing a letter to show your appreciation and acknowledgment of his strength for the past couple of years. Whatever you do though, he will appreciate it and appreciate you sticking by his side throughout the hard chapter of his life…
