Moving to Calgary? Here’s what the city is all about!
Coming in the top 5 most livable city in North America two years in a row (2018 and 2019), and listed as one of the top 10 cleanest cities in the world, why wouldn’t you want to move to Calgary?
“Cow-Town,” as it’s dubbed by locals, is a vibrant city with a charming, classic western feel at its core. There are incredible restaurants, hiking trails, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and from Calgary you’re just an hour away from the stunning mountain views of Canmore and Banff.
Outdoor Activities
- There are hiking trails within the city to enjoy all year round. They are family friendly and welcome all levels of hikers. Here are some of our favourites:
- Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and Nature Centre
- The Bird Sancturary is located 10 mins away from downtown Calgary and keep your eyes peeled for more than 270 bird species that have been spotted there.
- Nosehill Park
- There are several trails to choose from and different viewpoints to explore, whether it be the airport, downtown, or the stunning mountains.
- Fish Creek Provincial Park
- Canada’s second largest urban park, with a mix of both paved and gravel paths. It has the most breathtaking view during the fall.
- During the warmer months, you can raft down the Bow River and enjoy some vitamin D.
- You can head outside in the colder months and enjoy the city’s outdoor skating rink in Olympic Plaza.
Calgary’s Fun Facts
- Calgary was the first city to host the Winter Olympic games in Canada in 1988.
- You can experience Chinook Winds (a strong and dry warm wind, that blows in from the mountains – these winds can bring quick temperature changes), which come with pros and cons. But keep in mind, Calgary weather follows no rules – do not be surprised if you find yourself shoveling snow in April!
- Calgarians enjoy more days of sunshine than any other major Canadian city – on average, the city experiences 333 sunny days per year.
- You can walk through downtown without ever setting foot outside using the Plus 15 (a pedestrian skywalk system) that connects all the buildings. Fun Fact: it’s called the Plus 15 because the walkway is 15 feet above street level.
Calgary Stampede
Calgary is arguably best-known for the world-famous Calgary Stampede. The “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth” is a 10-day event that attracts over 1 million visitors and features first nation exhibits, rodeos, concerts, chuck wagon races, and much more. There are food trucks and carnival rides as well. Trust us, there’s something for everyone at Stampede. This is one event all newcomers to Calgary MUST attend at least once!
Art and Culture
There are festivals scattered during the summer months, leaving all your weekends booked to enjoy
- If outdoor concerts are your jam, we’ve got you covered with: Country Thunder, Sled Island Music and Arts Festival, Calgary Folk Music Festival, and the Calgary International Blues Festival, just to name a few
- Taste of Calgary – it allows you to discover Calgary’s rich culinary scene
- GlobalFest – a five-day multicultural celebration filled with food, music and dancing, concluding each night with elaborate firework displays from different international groups.
- Here is a list of other festivals that happen in the city – a great resource to keep on hand!
Although we only mentioned outdoor events, there are year-round indoor events for you to enjoy as well. Here is a great place to start exploring.

END-TO-END SERVICES IN CALGARY
We understand if you only need movers to get you from Point A to Point B. But did you know that Two Small Men offers additional opt-in moving services that can help make your move even easier? Check out our Moving Services page and talk to your Move Coordinator to learn more about these services!
Packing Supplies & Services
We offer professional packing and unpacking services – you can book a packing day in advance of your move, and a Two Small Men crew will come safely pack your belongings while you focus on other moving day prep. The tips and tricks our team has acquired after over 30 years of moving will ensure that your belongings are packed safely and snugly for same-condition arrival at your new home or office!
Furniture Assembly & Disassembly
Your first night in your new home shouldn’t be spent struggling to assemble furniture. Moving is exhausting, and you and your family deserve to sleep soundly in your own beds after what was likely an emotional day. Our crew can re-assemble most furniture on arrival at the new home so that all you have to do in the evening is relax and unwind!
Storage Services
Two Small Men is proud to partner with BigSteelBox to assist our customers with their storage needs. If you choose to move with a moving container, we can help with the loading and unloading process.
BigSteelBoxes are shipping containers, so they are extremely secure. They’re wind, water, and rodent-proof and come equipped with a lockbox that protects your padlock from bolt cutters.
BigSteelBox has locations across Canada, and they offer secure storage at their facilities. This is a very handy option because you’ll only have to load and unload your moving container once, even if you need storage in between your move!
Junk Removal
Let’s face it: one of the worst parts of moving is dealing with junk disposal afterward. You probably have a lot of move-related debris that needs to go such as packing paper or peanuts, Styrofoam, boxes, and more. Maybe you’ve decided it’s time for some new furniture and you’re just not sure how to get rid of that old chair that wouldn’t sell online. We can coordinate the junk removal for you, so after everything you do want is unloaded from our truck, let us load up what you don’t want and take it to the local junkyard for you.
Item Donation
Have stuff you want to get rid of that is gently used, but you haven’t been able to find the time or don’t have the space in your vehicle to get it to a local charity? There’s no reason to hold onto these items past moving day – we can coordinate the item donation for you and have partners in most cities who will happily accept donated goods.
