Narrative:

When getting the paperwork I had read the ops alert pertaining to the possibility of receiving a 'too low terrain' when landing 35R. We descended into cyyc via the ebgal 3 arrival landing runway 35R. Traffic was departing 35L. The latest weather had clear skies and visibility of 40 SM. I had seen the airport when we were more than 25+ miles away. We had done the approach descent checklist previously and had completed the approach checklist properly. The captain had identified the localizer for 35R and I verified it myself. We were cleared for the approach. I started the approach with autopilot on; after being established on the localizer and descending towards the runway; approach handed us over to tower. I always check to make sure the localizer and the magenta line match up; they did match up correctly on 35R. Captain checked in with tower and they cleared us to land 35R. Tower reported winds at 260/20g25. After turning the autopilot off; I was hand flying a stabilized approach. It seems at approximately 75 feet AGL; we received a 'too low terrain' egpws alert. The ops alert was the first thing that I thought of. I continued the approach to a safe landing on 35R. I continued the approach to landing because I could positively identify our location; verify there were no obstacle or terrain hazards; and was certain we were in the correct landing configuration (we had done the before landing checklist at the appropriate time). 1. The visibility was unlimited and I saw the airport many miles out.2. I have flown into cyyc several times and was 100 percent certain that we were lined up with 35R. I could see 35L. 3. I intercepted the localizer with LNAV. 4. I checked to make sure the localizer was centered on the aircraft; which it was. I verified our heading was correct for the landing runway. 5. We had completed the approach checklist and identified the localizer for 35R.

Title: B737 FO on an ILS approach to RWY 35R at CYYC reported ignoring a GPWS terrain alert because the runway was in sight and an Ops bulletin warned of possible false GPWS warnings on that approach.
