This doesn't check your Calgary based requirement but I picked up this rod (9', 5lbs) and it's been great for me.

The reel is smooth and easy to adjust, the rod doesn't feel clunky to my novice hands and the case is, well, a case. I then went to a local shop to stock up on flies and accessories and ask some questions.
I had only been a few times prior to buying a rod so I really didn't want to spend a bunch before I knew how committed I'd be.
