  According to the first line, the second line seems to be Latitude (Y)
and the third the Logitude (X).    The coordinates loos like decimal
degree instead of DMS.

  I opened the file in QGis stating comma as separator, decimal degree,
Y the Lat column and X the Long column.   Just used WGS 84 as CRC.
The points appear locate to the west of Calgary.


  HTH.
