I will be moving to Cranbrook, BC, in January.
I would highly appreciate if any desi living there can guide us.
Are there any desi families out there? How is life there for desis? Any Indian/ Pakistani grocery store there?

Thanks in advance.

I have passed through that place and I did not even know I did. But the golf course was visible from the HWY # 3.(Crowsnest Highway) It was a long and winding road, and the drive from Alberta border to Vancouver was very painful.
