• It takes 42 hours of driving (without stops) to get from Toronto to Calgary in the summer
• You are going to be driving a very long distance in winter conditions, and some very long road sections will be very isolated.
• Cell phone coverage in some of those areas is also very poor. If you end up in the ditch, you could be there for several hours before any help arrives, so make sure you're prepared for that.
• Gas stops are not an issue as there are plentiful as long as driving in daytime, night time more small stations are closed.
• Emergency call: 911
