Landed April and we chose Calgary due to a job offer and we liked the idea of living close to the mountains :)

Living in Royal Oak - just renting for now.

Still early days and a lot to get used to but looking forward to our first Xmas!

Winter is definatly here!!

Maybe we should start a Calgary UK club, were we meet maybe once a month?? Great way to make new friends, and share experiences??

Thoughts?

Haven't landed yet, but wish to as soon as circumstances permit (e.g. I get PR).

Probably no time soon then :)

Arrived just over 5 years ago.

Wife had lived here as a kid on and off in between living in the UK so we had some knowledge of the place.

We're in Coach Hill.

5 years+ and loving life in Calgary and area. We're big fans of the city for a whole bunch of reasons. Still embracing winters and Canadian life in general. Now have a little boy and have no plans to leave.
