Which one is better to live in – Calgary or Edmonton? Why?
Do you feel like a big city slicker or a small town girl? Edmonton or Calgary – which one is better to live in? Both cities have their pros and cons, but when it comes down to it, we think Calgary takes the cake. Read on to find out why!
Calgary and Edmonton are the 2 biggest cities in Alberta, Canada. The question is which one is better to live in, Calgary or Edmonton? Why?
It is difficult to say which city is better to live in, as it ultimately depends on an individual’s personal preferences and priorities. Both Calgary and Edmonton have their own unique features and attractions, and which city is better for you will depend on what you are looking for in a place to live.
Here are some factors to consider when deciding between Calgary and Edmonton:
-
Location: Calgary is located in southern Alberta, near the Rocky Mountains, while Edmonton is located in central Alberta. This can be a factor to consider if you enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and skiing, or if you prefer a more urban environment.
-
Cost of living: Both Calgary and Edmonton have a relatively low cost of living compared to other major cities in Canada. However, Calgary tends to be more expensive than Edmonton, particularly in terms of housing costs.
-
Employment: Both cities have strong economies and a diverse range of industries, including oil and gas, healthcare, and technology. Unemployment rates in both cities are generally low.
-
Climate: Calgary and Edmonton both have cold winters and warm summers, with Calgary generally experiencing cooler temperatures and more snowfall.
Ultimately, the decision of which city is better to live in will depend on your personal circumstances and what you are looking for in a place to call home. It may be helpful to research and compare the two cities in more detail to determine which one is a better fit for you.
What are the pros and cons of Calgary vs Edmonton.
As someone who has lived in both cities for more than 3 years and is still living in Calgary:

Just today I had a motorcycle user with his lady friend on the back cut in front of me while going down Walterdale Hill. And I watch him proceed to weave in and out of cars going excessive speeds. For the love of God, please take a quick google search and see the results of motorcycle injuries. It just takes one mistake for you and your friend to be in the ER with irreparable injuries or even worse, dead.

- Thanks to the other trail usersby /u/Strynaster (Stories from in and about Edmonton) on May 30, 2023 at 5:45 pm
My son (20) was cycling the old Keillor road trail yesterday when he had a major spill. Thank you all who stayed with him and called 911. He doesn’t remember anything from the crash but he was taken to hospital and is going to be okay. A lot of road rash and some stitches. No broken bones or head trauma!! His helmet was put to good use. He’s still at hospital as he may have hit his chest on the handlebars (as his feet were clipped in) but hope to be released soon. He smashed his Apple Watch, sunglasses and the bicycle is probably a write off but he’s safe and going to be well. Reminds you that monetary things don’t really matter. Thank you everyone for helping him. Edmonton people are great. submitted by /u/Strynaster [link] [comments]

If you were one of the unfortunate people to try to go to the DynaLIFE lab at the Sheldon yesterday, please use the following links to make your voice heard. LAB https://www.dynalife.ca/contactus AHS FEEDBACK https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/about/Page12832.aspx For context: I was there at 7:20 as a walkin for routine bloodwork. did not have a sample taken until after 1pm. As a t1 diabetic that gets blood work every 3 months since am used to longer wait times at the labs. However, in my 37 years of receiving bloodwork I have never experienced such a long wait time. The staff was kind but there need to be more people taking bloodwork to get patients in/out faster. The earliest appointments are 2 months out, which is also bad. And they were 1 hour behind on those as well. submitted by /u/Rockitnonstop [link] [comments]

- If your party didn’t/doesn’t win the election, have a positive outlook and don’t just write off the next 4 yearsby /u/Setting-Sea (Stories from in and about Edmonton) on May 30, 2023 at 1:22 pm
All I see all over social media is “we are doomed” “4 years of hell” “I’m moving”. This is the same thing you heard from every conservative every time Trudeau has been elected. Breathe, hope for the best, hope that the rumours you have heard are wrong, hope that the province will work from past mistakes and be better. Living with the negativity will change nothing, if you don’t like what the UCP does for the next 4 years, campaign hard to get them out. They are in for the next 4 years, 53% of Alberta voted for that, (150,000 more people than NDP). As is the purpose of an election. Again, that is the purpose of an election, the majority + seats were voted in by Alberta . Going into the next 4 years negative and saying “the province is going to suck” because who you like didn’t get in will get you nowhere. I’d be making this exact same post if NDP won as you see this every election no matter which side loses. submitted by /u/Setting-Sea [link] [comments]

- Senior parents running out of moneyby /u/Psychological-Bug538 (Calgary: Onward) on May 30, 2023 at 6:04 am
My dad has been out of work since COVID. He works as a procurement contractor but since a lot of his work depends on shipping from China which has been closed since the pandemic, he’s had few and far apart projects to work on. He came here as a refugee 24 years ago, he was jailed at 17 so never got his high school diploma and was at risk of being jailed again/executed when he fled his home country. He did get a certification in Business from Bow Valley, and tried to open some unsuccessful stores here and eventually found some success with procurement that helped finance our lives until recently. He’s quite literally running out of savings now. Realistically he has enough to live in Calgary for another 10 - 12 months and it’s becoming really concerning. What are our options? Are there any social safety nets? He works Doordash everyday but that only makes him about $500 a month, and English is his second language (he still speaks it well) which has been an obstacle with him getting his class 1 or class 4 so he can drive trucks or Uber for a living. He’s also nearing 60 so any jobs in admin working with computers seem too competitive since he’s not tech-savvy at all. He’s had some work where he’s had to lift heavy boxes but it’s caused him so much pain, he still can’t bend over properly since. His CPP options also came in the mail recently and are an absolute joke. I help out with bills and rent where I can but I still haven’t graduated school so it’s just what I’m making from my internship which ends in a few months (I have sisters in the states who do as well but they have their own finances to worry about as well with mortgages, kids, etc.). My mom is hard of hearing and has been let go of work because she can’t hear orders (she gets some form of disability from the government). I’m just stressing out and wondering what our options really are here. I don’t even know where to go from here if we were to leave Calgary but does anyone know of work for seniors or a type of safety net? This is my last resort. submitted by /u/Psychological-Bug538 [link] [comments]

- TIL: If you have an eye problem and need to go to the hospital, go to Rockyviewby /u/20-TWENTY (Calgary: Onward) on May 30, 2023 at 5:40 am
Woke up today and the bump (stye?) on my eye needed medical attention. ~9AM - check in to a local family practice/walk-in clinic. ~10AM - doctor sees me, looks at my eye, tells me to go to emergency/urgent care. No direction to a specific hospital. No referral. ~10:40AM - Uber arrives at Foothills. Triage nurse tells me what I'm doing there, and why the doctor didn't refer me to Rockyview Hospital since it has the specialized Eye Clinic/ophthalmologists. I tell her I can Uber to Rockyview instead. Nurse tells me that since I'm already here they'll take me in. I stay and figured that if I am good enough to take in, I am good enough to be treated by whatever resources the hospital has. ~4:00PM - I talk to a nurse while waiting and she says I don't need to go to Rockyview if my issue doesn't require an ophthalmologist. ~5:00PM - I am seen by an emergency doctor. I told the emergency doctor how I feel I should have gone to Rockyview but I did not get any directions from the walk in clinic. He told me it happens that family doctors don't even know about the Eye Clinic in Rockyview. He doesn't know how to help me with my eye problem and refers me to an ophthalmologist at the Rockyview Eye Clinic tommorow. TL:DR I should have gone to Rockyview 😭 (and now I'll miss two days of work, and my eye issue is still up in the air) Edit: Day 2 - had an ophthalmologist look at my eye at 8:30. Was referred to an eye surgeon at his clinic and was hopeful that the surgery was going to be today. Prodding and needles were used. After inspection, the surgeon felt it was best to perform the surgery at a hospital setting, which is schedule tomorrow. Also, turns out it wasn't a stye. They are going to do a biopsy but also need to remove it because it's causing complications/bleeding. It's now 12:00am and I'm on the way home submitted by /u/20-TWENTY [link] [comments]

- Cycling in Calgary is amazing.by /u/yycTechGuy (Calgary: Onward) on May 29, 2023 at 3:51 pm
This spring I decided to cycle more. I'm a long time cyclist but on and off for the last decade or so. I haven't cycled much in Calgary for a long time. I'm amazed and how nice it is cycling in Calgary these days. First off, the bike lanes. Cycling in traffic used to be fearsome as cars would zip by really close. Now with the bike lanes, even the painted ones, motorists are much more respectful and give space. What a novel concept. The City has widened and improved many paths. Not just for cyclists but also for pedestrians. And in many instances the city has separate paths for each. This is a dramatic improvement over the way it used to be. Cyclists can now take their bike on the C Train any time. I live close to a C train station so this means the whole city is now within my cycling range. Why drive anywhere ? I went downtown twice on the weekend with my bike. Didn't have to worry about parking. Didn't have to load my bike into my car. Once you are to the area you want to explore, getting somewhere is way quicker than walking. There are actually neat places to visit along bike paths. Calgary is starting to feel a bit like a European city that is designed around pedestrians and cyclists rather than cars. I'm seeing other cyclists at these places. The south side of the riverbank is so nice now. The East Village area needs more trees, but its nice. Fish Creek is great. Glenmore Reservoir is fun, but there is a lot of foot traffic on it. Bowness Park. Bowness itself is nice. The bike lanes are a huge improvement. Everywhere I went this weekend there were a ton of cyclists. And downtown there are a lot of people on scooters too. Great to see. eBikes are getting popular. I see people on eBikes that I suspect wouldn't be on a non pedal bike. 17th Ave is a nightmare pedestrian and bike wise. Which is a shame because there are some good places along it. Traffic noise is terrible along that street if you sit on a patio. I'd love to see the City remove the parking lanes on 17th and use that space for bikes and walking but parking is already non existent if you drive down there. Google Maps is a great way to figure out how to get somewhere on a bike. But it would be nicer if it had the option to select Ctrain and bike as the transportation method. I wish there was a good bike route from SW Calgary to Bragg Creek. I've cycled there several times. I always meet other cyclists going there. It's a good destination but there is a lot of traffic and the shoulder on 22 isn't the smoothest. Happy cycling. Edit Is there a way to get to me and my bike to Canmore or Banff or highway 40 or Lake Louise without driving ? Like public transit or a bus ? I'd love to do cycling daytrips and not have to use a car. It would be so cool if there was a train from Calgary to say Revelstoke that one could do day/weekend trips on, like in Europe. Sit on the train for a couple hours, ride, have drinks/dinner in a mountain town then take the train home again. I'd love to do that with skiing too. submitted by /u/yycTechGuy [link] [comments]

- If you haven't already, please vote tomorrow!!by /u/moisbettah (Calgary: Onward) on May 29, 2023 at 2:46 am
This election is way too important to sit out or ignore. The result is on Calgarians this time!!! Voting is our right, but it's also our responsibility and obligation. And the result of who is our next government will affect millions of Calgarian and Albertan lives, either for the better or for the worst. Everyone is allowed 3 hours I believe? by their employer to have time to vote. Do it. You won't regret it. There were just 6 votes making the difference in Calgary-Glenmore... SIX people turned that riding. Make sure you and your friends and family VOTE. Please. P.S. I have never posted an election sign in front of my home... until this election. I have NEVER volunteered my time to any political party on my day off .... until this election. Let's get off our asses and get involved, so we don't blame ourselves when the party we support does not squeak through!!! submitted by /u/moisbettah [link] [comments]
