From the Snowbirds Facebook page:
Calgary here's the plan. Arrival tomorrow at approximately 14-15h. (no flyby). We will Smoke the city Wednesday the 14th, from 12:00 to 13:00. In the same time period, we will also flyby Okotoks, Cochrane and Airdrie in that order.
Of course the timings can vary depending on operations and weather!

One of the former WestJet 767's returned to Calgary yesterday, operated by Cargojet but in the new Amazon Prime Air livery:

A rather rare visitor inbound to us today, Ilyushin 76 coming from Anchorage. ETA is 1326 right now.

All depends on the active runways due to wind and what ATC gives them. I won't be around to update so I can't give you any info when they get close enough.
If you are on Facebook check out the YYC Spotters group, they will be all over the arrival and active runways:

^ someone was driving by and got a bit close and bent it about 6 inches to the left so we had to send a couple guys down to change it. I guess there was some video of a fuel bowser going by but it wasn’t clear enough to know for sure. Pilots got to stay in calgary for a couple extra days during stampede so they weren’t really complaining.

Not sure actually, they would normally park at one of the aerocentres. I haven't talked with the guys who went and fixed it since they got back.

Highly recommend standing under a landing Antonov 124. She's scheduled to leave today at 2pm for Copenhagen.

One flew over Okotoks yesterday heading west. Was wondering if maybe they were ferrying fire fighting crews.

They were US Army birds, most likely just stopping here for fuel/rest.

If I was the chief pilot of this airline, these two wouldn't be around long. Just a matter of time before they crater an aircraft, if this is an acceptable approach. Not close to stabilized, massive control and throttle inputs, yeah just go-around, ya tits.
