The road trip to Edmonton for the Battle of Alberta is an annual tradition for our group. The drive up, the game, the trash talk - it's the best.

Car insurance in Alberta is brutal. I switched from The Co-operators to Wawanesa and saved about $40/month for the same coverage. Always shop around.

Also worth mentioning: this thread is gold. Saving it for when my friends from back east ask me about Calgary. Pretty much covers everything.

Loving Calgary so far! Best seats at the Saddledome on a budget: upper bowl press level, center ice. You can see the whole play develop. Way better than being in the corner lower bowl.

Cheers!
