Re: Calgary top tips
Try and find a pub you can call your local...and a good pint, although I've been here more than two years now still searching for that one!
Buy the Calgary Entertainment guide - it's a book full of two for one vouchers and dozens of other free admission passes and coupons for just about everything you can think of. It's a good incentive to get out and about around the city and explore some new places etc. It costs 25 bucks but you'll be eating 2 for 1 at pubs/restaurantsfor the next year.

Live where you don't have to drive up and down
Maybe live near an LRT station and use that to commute downtown - if that's where you work.
The newer suburbs are further out.
You will hear more about them because they are being "sold" more vigorously by the developers and house builders. They are not necessarilly better places to live than older more established areas.
Live near a good highschool. There are no coupons etc, you can't move your kid to a "better" highschool.
Find a winter activity you can enjoy with your family. With so much choice - indoors and out - you should be able to find something. It will make winter seem shorter.
