When Calgary is in the grip of a cold snap like it is currently, people don't linger on Stephen Avenue Walk, but all the restaurants and attractions on it are still easy to get to. There is quite a lot of indoor parking nearby, and the Plus 15 elevated interior sidewalk system crosses over it and parallels it as several points. By day it is closed to vehicles and in anything but the worst weather, still a nice promenade. After 6 pm, it is open to vehicle traffic and there is some street parking. On our recent visits to downtown Calgary, although we didn't walk its length, we were able to admire it from several vantage points.

First time to this mall. Took the train from Heritage Station and was there in just minutes. The mall is located across from Chinook Station so very easy to get to. Nice variety of stores - large department stores and smaller retailers. Restaurants located throughout the mall so I wasn't restricted to just a food court which is a nice change from what we have in Winnipeg. Mall was clean and nicely laid out.
