The new Calgary Dress Tartan is a variation of the Calgary Tartan which is a recognized community symbol of the City of Calgary, managed and owned by the St Andrew-Caledonian Society of Calgary.

The colours of the Calgary Dress Tartan are the same as the colours used in the Calgary Tartan, as is the sett of the tartan.

The colours represent:

Red: to honour the Calgary Stampede, Calgary’s sports teams and the original Calgary Tartan, whose predominant colour is red;

White: for the snow that grace’s Calgary and the Rocky Mountains for many months of every year; for Calgary’s renowned white Stetson; and to honour our highland dancers who wear dress tartans to compete;

Black: for the oil & gas industry;

Yellow: for the prairie grain fields that surround Calgary;

Blue: for Calgary’s blue skies; and the Bow and Elbow Rivers on which Calgary was founded;

Gray: for the scenic Rocky Mountains to the west.
