Pick all the huckleberries at Castle Mountain Resort
In the winter, Castle Mountain Ski Resort is known for its whisper-light powder and stunning vistas, but in the summertime, it’s all about the berries. The resort’s annual Huckleberry Festival, running August 19 to 21, is a family-friendly weekend where huckleberry hunters can ride the chairlift up to prime picking zones on the mountain. There’s also live music on Friday and Saturday, games and events for kids, and a community pig roast and pancake breakfast (with huckleberry syrup, no doubt).

Explore Waterton Lakes National Park on horseback

This year, the club is offering a series of multi-day trips in Waterton Lakes National Park during the month of August. The rides leave from a base camp within the park that is set up by club members at the beginning of the summer season and disassembled and removed at the end of August. Riders stay in tents and tee-pees, and are provided with meals, horses and Western tack.

See Pat Benetar, Heart, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and Johnny Cash perform at Sun Peaks Resort
Of course, they’re all tribute acts (the fact that Johnny Cash died in 2003 should have tipped you off that this lineup was too good to be true). But even so, Sun Peaks Resort’s 7th Annual Retro Concert weekend, running Friday, August 12 to Sunday, August 14, is all about rocking out to the music you know in a scenic alpine village setting. While you’re there you can take a rip through the lift-accessed mountain bike park and a stroll through the Sun Peaks & Region Farmers’ Market that sets up on Sunday mornings throughout the summer.

Demand down with net migration
In step with City census data on declining net migration levels, housing sales activity totaled 1,741 units in July, a 12.6 per cent decrease over last year and the 20th consecutive month of year-over-year sales declines.
“Continued pullback of sales activity is a sign of economic conditions,” said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie. “The number of unemployed workers keeps rising and when you combine job losses with declining net migration, the result is going to be weaker housing demand.”
Slower sales were accompanied by declining new listings in July. This helped prevent further inventory gains and minimize the downward pressure on benchmark prices. By months end, the residential benchmark price was $440,000, similar to last month, but 4.2 per cent below July figures from the previous year.
While detached price seem to be leveling, this is not the case for all property types. With over six months of inventory in the apartment sector, oversupply continues to create steep price declines.
The apartment benchmark price totaled $277,000 in July, a 0.4 per cent decline over the previous month and 6.6 per cent below last year’s levels. City-wide benchmark prices for detached product totaled $502,300 in July, which is similar to last month, but 3.4 per cent lower than last year’s levels.
Meanwhile, semi and row attached product recorded a year-over-year decline of 3.1 and 5.5 per cent for July prices of $385,200 and $310,300. “To buyers and sellers that have been paying attention to the housing market in Calgary and surrounding areas, it should come as no surprise that we continue to see a slowdown in sales activity,” said CREB® president Cliff Stevenson.
“Buyers are expecting further declines in sold prices, and sellers are adjusting to softer demand with price decreases. When these expectations intersect, we’re seeing sales activity in the market, but not at the level realized over the last several years.”
