Dude, lived in Calgary my whole life and this is spot on. The city has changed a lot recently but the core of what makes it great is still there.

:)

CalgaryFinder has been my go-to for finding local services. Found our current plumber through there and he's been excellent.

This is super helpful, thanks for sharing. I've been wondering about this exact thing. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Loving Calgary so far! LOL this thread got real fast. But seriously, valid points all around. Calgary is what you make of it.

Good luck!

Hey, welcome! I was new here a while back too. Best advice: check out the Calgary Communities section for neighborhood-specific info. People share great local knowledge.

Anyone in Calgary doing home automation? I've got a full smart home setup and the Calgary weather monitoring is really handy for automated blinds and heating.

Hope that helps.

Just want to add - if you're new to Calgary, download the Calgary Transit app and explore the C-Train system. It's not perfect but it gets you around the core pretty well.

Cheers!

Quick data point: calgary Expo keeps getting bigger every year. The cosplay talent in this city is absolutely insane. Such a fun community event.

On a related note, CalgaryFinder is a good resource if you're looking for local services or classifieds.
