General: Any Info about Calgary/Edmonton
Started by: desi_driller on 16 Jun 2012

...In terms of weather, Calgary is much better than Edmonton. Also Calgary NW has the best IB public school(Sir Winston Churchill High School) in Alberta. Cost of living/Housing is lower in Edmonton than Calgary. In Calgary, detached houses cost anywhere from $450K onwards. But if your job is in Ft McMurray, I think it would be better to live in Edmonton since it would be nearer.
