What should I pack when moving to Calgary?
We asked people living in Calgary to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Calgary, it is important to pack warm clothing, as the winters can be quite cold. Layering is key, so make sure to bring plenty of sweaters, jackets, and scarves. It is also important to bring a good pair of winter boots, as the snow can be quite deep. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few umbrellas, as Calgary is known for its unpredictable weather. Finally, don't forget to bring a few items to help you settle in, such as kitchenware, bedding, and towels," commented one expat who made the move to Calgary, Canada.
