Mezzanine floors seem more common in older buildings where the second floor is only partial (i.e. the ground floor opens up two levels in places)
Something unique to Calgary, is naming the second floor as "+15", which is a reference to the city' +15 skywalk system, so named because it is supposed to be 15 feet above grade. Sometimes the third and fourth floors are named "+30" and "+45".
Floor 1 being immediately above "Ground" still confuses me even though I've been in Australia a long time now. I had far less challenge adapting to driving and walking on the left side.
I don't think I've ever seen floor 13 skipped anywhere outside the US and parts of Canada.
