Family Day is the Monday after Valentine's Day, and in Calgary, the Teachers' Convention is always the Thursday and Friday of Valentine's Day week.

That means that every school kid in Calgary has a 5 day weekend. As a result, lots of families take a short trip somewhere that week, which translates to higher demand, which leads to higher prices.
