Just wanted to say hi - and "I hear ya" We've been here 17 months now -and the first year can be quite up and down, to say the least. We've turned a corner, and I just wanted to wish you well. I hope things smooth out for you - keep reading and posting on here - all sorts of info that you never knew you needed crops up daily Regards.

That's actually what I like best about downtown Calgary. Because of all the glass the sky seems to come right down to ground level, and there is plenty of light and airiness even amongst the high buildings.

Hi

Welcome to BE.

We are moving to Calgary 21st March 2009. One-way flight already booked . It's me and OH going on a skilled workers visa so we both need to find jobs.

I see that every morning from the kitchen window in our house as we have a view of downtown....

One of the best things I have ever seen!

One of these days I will have to try to get a picture of it, but I doubt my photography skills are up to it.

Hello

We should be in Calgary March 09, looking forward to it. What job have you been offered? do you have a family that will be going with you and have you looked at areas to live?

Hello all

Thought i would just say a quick hello.

I am moving to Calgary at the end of January (09). I am moving as an expat with my company (Shell). I might only be there a year and a half before i move again to Houston.

I am currently working in London surrounded by all my friends and family and have a fairly active lifestyle. I am hoping that it is easy enough for me to meet people when I get there (am coming on my own).

I wakeboard and am learning to snowboard so hope that I can join some clubs. I am not sure what the best way to meet people is otherwise. Any recommendations?

I am hoping to bring my two cats as well, anyone had any experiences taking cats from UK to Canada?
