I'm easygoing etc so always make friends easily so I should stop worrying really!

I moved here just 10 weeks ago from Scotland and love it! My kids are 5 and 6 so will both be in school from the start of the new term. I don't think you'll have any problems making new friends as you'll meet people through the school, etc but give me a shout if you want to meet up. I live in Cochrane on the outskirts of Calgary and have met some really lovely people already, some through this website.

LOL GeordieLass, Craigpark2 (Wendy) is the lady I emailed you about, Wendy, I was saying that you would be able to answer questions about school, seeing as C has already been at school for the last part of term!

Geordielass, you will already have two invites for a cuppa and a BBQ too!

Yip I would be more than happy to answer any queries you have GeordieLass, especially as it is so fresh in my mind. LucyLovelock has been a great friend since I got here and I feel very lucky to have met her and also her friends.

Aww thanks - she said you are on FB so if you don't mind I can add you on there and then we can chat via that as it's easier to use!

Hi, We moved to Calgary from Cumbria almost 3 months ago. I was worried about having no friends too, but if you have kids in school its easy to talk to other mums and they all seem really nice so far, Its not been easy but its getting easier everyday, I am a 29 year old mum of 2 boys (7and3) and we live in Cranston - so if your nearby and need to have a brew and a chat with someone who has been in the same situation then give me a shout.

I've been in Calgary for 4 years, moved from Manchester in 2007. I'd be keen on a meet up if your open to it, would be great to meet a good ol' northerner!

Good luck on the move!

Thanks Wendy and Kenny.

Once I get over here for good I would love to meet with you both. Always up for making new friends!

Kenny - I am a good old northerner. Brought up in the toon, lived in Scotland for 5 years but have lived in Yorkshire for the last 12 years so accent is a bit none descript!

It's great being able to make a network of friends before you move - takes a lot of the unease out of it for me

I am another "northerner" who is in Calgary - from N.Yorks in my case... we have been here for 6 years now.

I went back to college last September, and made so many friends - I struggled before that (being at home with the kids doesn't help). But now I have loads. Another thing that helped was to get a dog - loads of people talk to you when you are walking the pooch I have found.

Having said that, if anyone wants to meet up with a yorkshire lass in the central NW I am your gal.

Ooh 2 north Yorkshire lasses with dogs... I live in north Yorkshire now and have a pooch. Can't imagine walking her in minus 40 degrees mind you!

Hopefully meet up once we get over there for good...

Continuing the northerner theme...I'm from N. Yorks/County Durham area. Been in Calgary 5 yrs now. The good friends we've made are all Canadian so we kind of miss chatting with other Brits.
