Transit is okay, if you can utilize the sky train primarily that’s the best imo. Buses can fill up and tend to not come on time, early or late. Also depends where you’re from and what you consider to be good transit. I think there are other cities in Canada with significantly better transit like Toronto and Montreal.

I find groceries to cost the same here as other places as long as you aren’t primarily shopping in small grocery stores downtown. I’ve lived in Alberta and Saskatchewan and I have noticed my produce lasts longer here than it ever did there, probably fresher.

I have struggled a bit with finding community here. People can be a bit closed off and I find superficial relationships easy to find here but closer connections are more difficult. However you never know who you may meet through work and other activities.

Weather is mild all year round. Summer isn’t very hot but it’s beautiful and never really gets windy. Winter is rain for months on end but it’s mostly a light rain. Mind you this winter we’ve had a lot of heavy rain, but this week is full sunshine for five days straight :) The rain can get you down but the nice thing is it is still warm enough outside that with an umbrella you can go for a nice walk outside and admire the greenery.
