I would personally look at staying in Airdrie. It's 15 minutes north of Calgary, a half hour to 45 minutes from the range. Way more choices of places to stay there, Olds doesn't have much in the way of decent accomodations (other than the Best Western as Mass already said).
 
45 minutes to an hour from Airdrie to the Range in Olds, I drive it all the time. We have a Holiday Inn, Super 8, Ramada Inn, and an independant Motel, Best Western, so there are lots of alternatives here in Airdrie.
 
well first to have a nationals in canada , if the rules where the same as the USA then shooters would have to "attend" 2x sanctioned matches in the last year.

so far terrace was the site of the BC provincials last year which I attended and it was the only sanctioned match in canada last year.

if this is a sanctioned match we could qualify to attend the USA Nationals if you shot both Alberta/BC Provincial Sanctioned Matches..... or if a canadian nationals is announced then by shooting both you would qualify for the canadian nationals.

either way it is great we can shoot 2 or more sanctioned matchs right here in canada without the hassle of to much travel or US/Canada Border Services.

here is what is required to have a sanctioned match

F. Sanctioned Matches.
Clubs may choose to hold state or regional matches that are
sanctioned by IDPA HQ. Multiple sanctioned matches may be
held within a state; however, only one state match is permitted per
year, per state. IDPA headquarters will help you promote
sanctioned matches by posting the information on the IDPA
website and listing major matches in the Tactical Journal after
receiving the sanction form and agreement. If the requirements for
the club are not met, the sanction will be revoked. Competition in
sanctioned matches allows competitors to be eligible to participate
in the National Championship. Sanctioned matches typically draw
competitors from a larger geographical area than local club
matches, thus giving the club more income.
Clubs wishing to host a sanctioned match such as a state or
regional championship should contact headquarters for a match
sanction form and agreement or find one online under Match
Sanction Information. All shooters must be classified in the
division in which they compete in sanctioned matches. MDs may
approve novice class shooters to participate in the sanctioned
match. This is not mandatory. At the IDPA National
Championship, only those shooters classified as Marksman or
higher are eligible to attend.
Requirements for a Sanctioned Match.
1. Complete a match sanction form and agreement.
2. Agree to run the match strictly by the IDPA Rule Book.
3. Accommodate a MINIMUM of seventy-five (75)
competitors.
4. Shooters will only be allowed to shoot in one (1) division
and the shooter must be classified in that division.
5. The match will contain a minimum of eight (8) stages of fire.
64
6. The match will have a minimum total round count of one
hundred (100) rounds.
7. Awards will be presented to contestants as laid out in the
rulebook.
8. All IDPA divisions and classifications will be recognized.
9. Official IDPA score sheets printed on NCR paper in
duplicate will be used in the match.
10. All CoF will be sent to the AC along with the sanction form
and sanction fee. The CoF must be approved and sanction
form with sanction fee sent to HQ by AC at least sixty (60)
days before match date.
11. MD must have taken a SO course from an IDPA safety
officer instructor.
12. SOs working the match must have previously worked club
matches and seen the video “How to run a match”.
Subcategories such as High Law Enforcement, High Lady, High
Senior (ages 50 – 64), High Distinguished Senior (ages 65 and
older), High Junior (ages 12 to 18), High Industry, High Press,
High International, High Military (Active Military), High Military
Veteran (ex-military, retired or discharged) and Most Accurate
Shooter may be recognized at sanctioned matches, but are not
required. Clubs are encouraged to come up with other relevant
subcategories.

this is coincidentally the same time as the first NB CDP provincials! Steve Stewart and the guys from Springfield range are having about one CDP match per month, alternating with IPSC matches.
 
This sound very interesting.

Wondering why two days?

Are we looking at a full day Sat and half of Sun?

Just curious since I would be flying in and out of Calgary and would have to book accordingly.

It would be nice if I could be at work Monday...gotta pay the bills....
