Re: Calgary vs Ottawa
I don't know about Ottawa but Calgary is an incredibly family friendly city. With small child you will find plenty of activities to keep busy and you will meet many people with young families. Schools are plentiful and you will have lots of choices when the time comes.

"There's something funny about that guy........Jewish or something." Comment made by an ethnic Asian. |
