Amazing picture but I kind of doubt this is that near Calgary, the city lights would make it impossible to see the aurora this clearly. Maybe somewhere up north?

evening of Thursday March 23 around 9:15pm. Everyone in the Alberta Aurora Chasers FB group was posting. I had friends back in the states that saw it (Minnesota and Iowa). It was a very big storm. Often you have to go to northern alberta to get them this strong.
