Reality check trip, Calgary - any suggestions?
Hi all,
Sorry if this has already been asked but my family is heading out to calgary in March for a reccie and I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions of must do things?
I'm already planning to check out neighbourhoods, housing, cost of living and maybe (if I can make some connections) head to some hospitals to check out job prospects (work in hr & recruitment for doctors in an NHS hospital here in the UK). Is there anything obvious I've missed? Clearly having some fun and experiencing the city is on the list too 😊
Love the forums - they keep me sane while saving eery spare penny for EE 😁
Thanks all

Go to Seton, sounds like a must-do for your list. New houses, big ass hospital.
It's a good idea to go to Lake Louise at this time of year, less tourists about and it looks more interesting with the snow.
