Answer 1

It's a little over an hour away, but if you can, I would definitely go see Lake Louise and Banff National Park, the scenery is amazing!!!!!!

Answer 2

everything everyone's already mentioned is great. lots of fun. for good shops i'd recommend heading down to 17th ave. your aunt will know where that is. AWESOME shopping down there. also kensington has some great shops too. your aunt will know where that is too. chinook mall and market mall are the biggest malls here. i prefer market but they're pretty similar. have fun on your trip!!

Well there's a lot to do here.    There are always the usual places like the Zoo (one of the top in North America), Heritage Park is an awesome place, the Science Centre is cool too.  

Downtown Calgary has a lot of malls which are connected with bridges (called +15 system).   Inside one of the malls is Devonian Gardens.   A beautiful indoor park.  Worth seeing.

There is always the bird sanctuary as well.  That's a beautiful place to walk around and enjoy the outdoors.

An hour north of Calgary is the Tyrell Musuem.  One of the largest dinosaur musuems and a fantastic place.   Worth seeing!

Down south there is Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump.  Again, worth seeing.

Then of course to the west are the mountains.  Banff, Lake Louise, the glacier, Johnston Canyon, etc.   You can't come to Calgary without heading there at one point.  :)  

Enjoy your trip!
