One good thing about Calgary is that even though temperature might be sub-zero, the sun does come out & you feel comfortable (as somebody told me "You never adjust to this kind of cold, you sort of develop a tolerance to it".)

There are fluctuations in temperature so it might go from -30 to -5 & it would be sunny so it gets ok.

What seems to have helped me though is my practice of Yoga & pranayama. Even when I would be walking in -35 degrees every night from downtown to home for about 25 minutes, I would do Pranayama which tended to keep me warm.

Thanks.

Dear Jughead,

Is healthcare free in British Columbia or monthly premium has to be paid?

Rgds.

56$ per person has to be paid per month. You could pay or your employer

Why not try appropriate clothing suitable for that kind of winter!!! and perhaps take a bus too. Nothing wrong with Pranayama though

I thought healthcare was free in Canada?
Isn't that where part of your 50% + taxes goes?
The tax system in Canada is something that really makes me wonder about moving there.

Sometimes the temperature peaks above 50 in summer, during daytime in the ME. If you park your car in the sun at midday for couple of hours, it can become quite difficult to hold the steering wheel when you return :p .

"The summers are intensely hot and dry, with daily average highs ranging from 42°C to 46°C (108°F-115°F) and occasionally reaching over 50ºC (125ºF) in the shade. The highest recorded temperature is 51.5°C (125°F). "
