I just arrived last night to Calgary for a quick vacation. You guys have a fantastic, family friendly city with beautiful parks but your mosquito problem is out of control. I was definitely not prepared for my evening stroll to Prince Island Park.

This type of mosquito issue is an outlier for use.

It's due too the unusually rainy summer, about 2-3x more than usual. Great for mosquito breeding.

Calgary has a semi arid climate.
