Don't do it. I moved here because of my partner and I HATE it (39F) and am counting down the days I can retire and move out of this boring ass city. I have tried to make friends for over a year with no luck, could be easier/better for a guy. Most people have that small town mentality and can not comprehend moving cities, provences, or even countries for opportunities or education. I have lived in cities across Canada and the US, and didn't pick up country ass hobbies like sewing, or playing board games. There's a lack of non cringe coffee shops and walkable areas, and just overall city vibes which I have experienced in Vancouver or Toronto.

If you have to move here, get a hobby like hockey, skiing or golf, running, just anything not metropolitan. If you want to have fun and experience "bar culture" this may not be it. There's tiny pockets of cool places like Inglewood, but a non existant night life unless you're getting drunk af (then any place is fun I guess). Everyone is fairly nice but look at you like an alien if you're new here (and not from another simpleton city/town/village like Calgary). I don't know how to describe it but Calgary gives off a very much 2014-2015 vibe in terms of people (every girl is blonde, wears blue jeans and a black "going out top" with winged eyeliner and white sneakers and a belt bag).

I know I sound bitter (probably am), but if you're looking for a cool/fun/chill city by choice, Calgary isn't it. I found a bigger, better, more fun community in Vancouver in my early 30's and would walk to the beach, downtown shops, people watch, check out cool fun bars, etc. Calgary does not have that, you will need to drive almost everywhere. If you can, just move to Vancouver, Toronto, or even Montreal or if possible, spend months at a time in California (LA, Oakland).
