Just got back after over a week in the Toronto area, I see we're still doing the rain every day thing here this summer?
On a positive note locally, they had more smoke in Toronto the past week than we've had all summer in Calgary. So there's that.

We have had a beautiful summer until now though.

I do enjoy going to sleep to the sound of rain.

Just pick your least favorite child or friend and tie them up as bait for the mosquitos, i usually give myself a 30 foot buffer away from where I want to enjoy outdoor time.

Just canceled campsite reservations for this weekend, had a 42km hike planned. 2nd weekend canceled this summer.
Oh well, at least I'm donating some decent money to Parks Canada.

“Bats eat many kinds of insects, including pests such as mosquitoes and beetles. Just one little brown bat can easily catch 1,000 mosquito-sized insects in an hour; a nursing mother eats approximately 4,500 insects every night.”
Put up a few bat houses, or just let them live in your attic.

I can't remember seeing a lot of hail when I lived in the pass. Have you seen any this summer?

Moving my BBQ to the garage to avoid all the mosquitos was an excellent decision

The single biggest factor that makes me re-think my desire to move back to Calgary from Vancouver is the mosquitos.

Why doesn't Vancouver get them as bad if it's wet weather that drives their population to explode?

The west coast is basically a desert in the months that mosquitoes are active. From April 1st to September 30th, Vancouver and Victoria are the 2 driest cities in Canada with over 100K people.

They are unbearable. I suggest you never come back. For your own good, of course.
