Calgary

We're moving to Calgary, Alberta on Sept. next year and then we'll have to stay, from mid Jan to ends of May, in Toronto, Ontario, We're comming from Phoenix, Arizona - 114F Summer highs and 65F winter lows. We just checked the weather and Canadian winter is going to be a brutal change for us, so we are bracing for impact. What we know is Alberta is dry, has low snow precipitation, and warm wind called Chinook, thus cold doesn't feel as harsh. Ontario is humid thus cold is harsher and has lots of snow, and ice storms. Any suggestions on what kind of clothes to buy, how long can we be out before we get frosbite, suggestions for children with mild asthma playing in the snow or any other thing that we would not have the slightless idea we need to be prepared for? Will our SUV (Hyundai Santa Fe) be useful there or do we need a buy a car locally because they are better conditioned for the climate. If we're going there, we're going to enjoy it if we can, just as much as cannucks would do.

I'm thinking of going to Canada next year to do a bit of travelling and find some work. I know you can get a six months tourist visa but to obtain a working one it appears you a work permit and therefore a job. I'm struggling to find any agencies or anybody that can help. Any ideas?

I used to live in Toronto and now looking forward to be anyplace but there. So many people say there are lots of jobs in Calgary, but is it true? cause I also heard that so many people have a hard time to find a job there and made big mistake by moving to Calgary.
Please be specific if you possibly can. thank you.

How is the public transportations system in Calgary. I have been to Toronto, which I think is very good. In the other hand I have been to places like Houston TX, where you really need a car to move around town.
How is it in Calgary?
