What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Calgary?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Calgary if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"It is important to be mindful of the cultural norms in Calgary. It is important to be respectful of the Indigenous peoples of the area, and to avoid making any comments that could be seen as offensive or insensitive. It is also important to be aware of the local customs and to dress appropriately for the occasion. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid using slang or colloquialisms that may be unfamiliar to the locals. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to respect them," commented one expat who made the move to Calgary, Canada.
