Birch trees in Calgary do best with east sun. As someone else mentioned, they don't like sustained heat. To water, get a drip hose, coil it around the tree area and let the water drip for a couple of days.
Dwarf Korean lilacs (syringa Vulgaris ‘Dwarf Korean’) are some of my favorite lilacs and grow to be about 7 feet tall at maturity with a spread of 4 feet. They require more sun but grow in a nice mound on their own without much shaping. They are also very fragrant with pale lilac flowers. The leaves of the Dwarf Korean Lilac are small and rounded. Also, this lilac does not sucker.
