Hello from Wales
Just a not of introduction having registered with BE. My self and family are hopefully moving to Calgary Alberta by July 2009 after my youngest son finishes school. We are in our second year of application for Permeant Residence with it currently being lodged with the Canadian Government.
I'm actively seeking employment at this moment and if successful will move out sooner to make arrangement for my family to follow.
Regards
Mark.

Hi,
Welcome to BE. We can certainly recommend life out this way (we're in Okotoks just south of Calgary). Feel free to take a look at the blog for lots of pics on life as we experience it (link in signature line below).
Best wishes for your plans for getting out here.
Kind regards,
Eamonn & Janet.

Hi Eamonn & Janet,
Thanks for for your reply, the pictures were great. I know Okotoks I spent some time there and High River in 2007. It's a nice area and not too far from
the hustle & bustle of Calgary. If all goes well perhaps Eamonn could assist in finding a home for us in the not to distant future?
With Thanks.
Mark.

Many thanks for the kind words re the blog. Yes, Okotoks (and High River) are both very nice places, most especially if work does not require a person to get to downtown Calgary in the rush hour. I would be delighted to help you find a home in due course. Will PM you if I may.
Kind regards,
Eamonn
