Question Making Friends in Calgary

Hi all!

I moved to Calgary 2 months ago with my Fiance, we've settled in really well so far- We got jobs very quickly, accomodation etc. Unfortunately I'm not finding it very easy to make friends with people outside of work.

I'm in my early 20's and would really appreciate any links to any social clubs/ any ideas on what I could do to make more friends! (Maybe I'm just being impatient!)

Thanks.

Getting a bit late for this season but you might want to consider curling! I'm serious. Join one of the recreational beginer leagues at one of the various curling clubs. You will meet lots of people, many your own age and it's a blast.

For summer fun consider slow pitch or soccer. Again, you'll meet lots of people and the after game celebrations are half the fun.

Hello,

My husband and I have applied to move to Calgary from South of England. Would you be able to tell me how you have found living in Calgary?

Thank you.

I'm seeing an obvious solution here, lol

Anyone else spot it?

Good luck in Canada by the way. We visited Calgary years ago and loved it.
