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:
- Weather: you have more sunshine and less harsh winter in Calgary with occasional positive temperature in the middle of the winter because of the Chinook winds: Calgary wins

Calgary is 1 hour from Banff, and day trips to the mountains are very common. Edmonton is 4 hours from Jasper, and trips to the mountains are more of a long weekend activity: Calgary Wins
- Summer festivities: Both cities have great and similar festivals, but Calgary hosts the greatest western festival on earth in July called the Stampede. Sylvan Lake is halfway between Calgary and Edmonton. Calgary wins.
- Sunshine: Calgary has way more sunshine that Edmonton. In fact, Calgary is amongst the top city with sunshine exposure in the entire country. Sunshine is happiness. Calgary wins.

- Festivals: Calgary Stampede is unique and a must see in North America. Interstellar Rodeo Festival , Fringe, Jazz Fest, Folk Fest in Edmonton: Calgary wins.
- Public Transit: Calgary C-Train has 3 lines and covers all 4 quadrants of the city(NW, SW,SE,NE) with multiple park and rides location at various C-Train stations. There are buses in almost every neighborhoods in Calgary connecting you to the nearest C-Train station. Edmonton Transit Services (ETS) provides service on buses and light-rail transit within the City of Edmonton limits, in addition to Fort Saskatchewan, Spruce Grove, Beaumont, and the Edmonton Garrison at Namao.

- Driving, transit and moving advice.by /u/Fluid-Imagination301 (Stories from in and about Edmonton) on January 29, 2023 at 12:49 am
I’ve decided to move to Edmonton as work offered me a transfer to our office there. Just wondering if I’ll need a car or if I’m able to get around with public transit without much issue. I don’t really want to drive across the country but every time I’ve been in Edmonton I’ve rented a car so I’ve never tried the transit system there. Guess the main question is will I be able to survive or does it make it harder without a vehicle? Also speaking of public transit what’s it like? Here we only have busses and they’re somewhat reliable and cover most of St. John’s and surrounding areas. Also, any areas I should avoid hanging out/ living? Or any rental companies I should avoid? Every time I’ve visited I’ve stayed in the ICE district on 104th NW and felt safe in the building but didn’t venture much outside as I always drove and didn’t walk in the area. Thanks I’ll probably buy a car eventually but it’s not at the top of my list to do when I first get there if I leave my car in Newfoundland submitted by /u/Fluid-Imagination301 [link] [comments]

So the duvet that I use currently has been leaking feathers for months and my ocd has had enough. I've been researching different duvets for weeks and I am exhausted. It seems that basically every duvet that I've come across online has at least a few bad reviews. I just want a quality duvet that regulates temperature well (I'm a hot sleeper), DOESN'T leak filling, and doesn't shift all over the place inside the duvet cover. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!! submitted by /u/StarfishPY [link] [comments]

Was browsing for restaurants on Friday and found out Poutinarama opened yesterday. Squeaky cheese curds. (Opted for gravy on the side and added it myself). Menu I think the gravy is a bit better at Flavours of Montreal, but at least you don't need to drive to Airdrie. Address is 718 Edmonton Trail.

- YSK about the cowboys crowd crush situation last nightby /u/Far_Muffin6540 (Calgary: Onward) on January 28, 2023 at 6:50 pm
I am aware this happens often but if there was another reason to not go to cowboys dance hall its the fact they have abysmal crowd control, to the point where I was forced to call 911 because my dumb friend got caught in it, and was getting crushed and overheated by other drunk people. After the crowchild classic game last night ( MRU vs U of C), thousands ( yes I'm not kidding) decided to go the the cowboys afterparty. Girls and guys wearing tank tops and t-shirts, visibly cold pushed at the people already inside to try and get into warm space, which created a crowd crush situation, leading to injuries. The bouncers stood there useless as fuck(made no efforts) and a large police presence was needed to help break it up. An ambulance also showed up. My friend is ok but was shaken up which is understandable. Cowboys is a shit show from the beginning, please avoid at all costs! submitted by /u/Far_Muffin6540 [link] [comments]

Looking for dash cam suggestions for two vehicles. One is parked outside 24/7 in Edmonton area (at home & work) & the other is parked inside attached, unheated garage, but then outside at workplace. So, hoping for dashcams that don't suffer alot due to extreme cold temperatures (in terms of battery capacity, longevity of the device & or battery itself, and performance overall). What have you been happy with? Edit: Also, I'm not in the know, so if wired options are better, then please proceed with those recommendations. submitted by /u/Karma_collection_bin [link] [comments]

Anyone on this sub have a new or lightly used black backpack they are willing to donate to a student in need? Context/details I’m a junior high teacher at a school in a lower income part of the city. I have a rockstar student whose backpack has a giant hole in the top of it. We have a few cheap backpacks at the school that I’ve offered her, but she really wants a black one which none of them are. I have considered going to Winners to just buy her one, but I thought I would put the word out first. I’m happy to pick up from anywhere in Edmonton and surrounding area. I’m also happy to provide verification. Please include pics/descriptions with any offers. (All kids deserve nice things once in a while, and I don’t want to just give her a beat up old bag that will do the job. She works hard and deserves a nice one!) If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading and considering this post! submitted by /u/FusionStar [link] [comments]

- Alberta/Canada should require a winter driving or rally course to get a driver's license. Thoughts?by /u/mr_bojangals (Calgary: Onward) on January 27, 2023 at 9:04 pm
In Finland rally racing school (dirt or snow) is popular when getting a driver's license so everyone knows the limits of a car in variable conditions. We should do the same because 1) People have no idea how to drive in the slightest bit of snow and 2) It would be fun and cool. Agree or disagree? [Edit] Someone pointed out it isn't a legal requirement in Finland. I learned it was from "top gear" in a segment about how popular racing/rallying was in Scandinavia. Still think it would be a good idea. submitted by /u/mr_bojangals [link] [comments]
