Unless you are a climate change denier, I'm sure we can agree that things are going to look differently in 30-40 years. Personally, I can see things trending closer towards what we've experienced this summer. I could see a lot of issues created by increasingly dry conditions.

I'm not sure the mechanism for Calgary to get drier. Our weather largly originates from the coast, and if in general it gets warmer I would expect it to be wetter. I actually think last summer will be more common than this summer. But we tend to get stuck in one weather system for a season around here, I'm not sure that will change.
Temperature, I think will be similar, with probably warmer evenings due to a growing urban heat island, winter lows may not be quite as cold. I really don't think this summer is indicative of a typical summer in the future. I n general, I think if you woke up 50 years in the future and spent a couple years in Calgary, you'd be hard pressed to notice a change. Our weather is just so variable.
