According to NavCanada's Aviation Weather Web Site (http://www.flightplanning.navcanada.ca/cgi-bin/CreePage.pl?Langue=anglais&NoSession=NS_Inconnu&Page=Fore-obs%2Fmetar-taf-map&TypeDoc=html), which will give a plain language of the METAR (select the plain language radio button and enter CYYC):

RMK AC1AC1CI0 SLP063=

CLOUD WITH OPACITY: ALTOCUMULUS 1 /8 ALTOCUMULUS 1 /8 CIRRUS 0 /8
