Hi everyone,

New to this site and just wondered if anyone had any information on Calgary. Husband will be working in the South West and we will be looking to rent somewhere. Does anyone have any tips on areas to avoid? or areas that are nice and family orientated. We have two boys, 2 and 4.

Any info would be appreciated

Thanks Jenny

Hello Jenny and welcome to BE.

Quite a few members who post in our Canada Forums live in the Calgary area. If you click here it will take you directly to the main index page of the Canada Forum. At the top you will see a list of sub forums...the first one is the Immigration Forum...please post all questions regarding the immigration process there. The general forum is for topics related to Canada and the Maple Leaf forum is for general chit chat. Before you begin to post please read through all the sticky threads or announcements that may be posted at the top of the forum's index page. Also take a look in the BE Wiki...you'll find loads of information in there.

If you have any problems finding your way around the many BE forums AmyDavid and The Aviator are concierges for the Canada forums...they will act as your tour guides and guide you around the forums.

For any other problems please contact a moderator. The mods for the Canada forums are Iaink and Christmasoompa.

Please give me a shout if you need any help. Good Luck.

Thank you , sorry just getting used to the site.

There are no bad areas in the South West. You need to come over to see what suits you: older neighbourhood, newer neighbourhood, close to downtown, lake community, close to LRT etc.

I would say that there are no bad areas of Calgary. In most, you will feel safe, secure and won't feel like you are living in a run down area.

Best of luck
