Masik Shivaratri in Calgary: questions

+ How many Masik Shivaratri days are there in 2028 in Calgary?
12, computed for Calgary's coordinates and the America/Edmonton time zone. The first falls on Mon, Jan 24 and the last on Wed, Dec 13.
+ Are Calgary Masik Shivaratri dates the same as in India?
Not always. A tithi starts at the same instant everywhere, but the local midnight that decides the day happens at a different moment in Calgary. In 2028, 6 of 12 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 6 fall a day earlier and 0 a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local day whose following midnight (computed as the midpoint between sunset and the next sunrise) falls inside the Krishna Chaturdashi tithi. 3 of this year's 12 entries for Calgary are flagged because of that. Local temples may follow a particular sampradaya's rule, so check with them for ritual purposes.
+ How accurate are these times?
Times come from truncated astronomical series and should fall within a few minutes of a full ephemeris. Near a boundary a published panchanga may assign a different day. They are for planning practice, not for precise ritual muhurta.
