Moving long distance across a big country like Canada can be a challenging task, simply because there is so much distance between where you currently are and where you will likely be moving to. However, this shouldn’t deter you from considering a big transition such as a cross-country move. Canada is a large country with a seemingly infinite number of beautiful sights and places to visit and reside. And it’s incredibly important to scope out your new potential places of residence, and to take in as much of the area as possible while you are visiting it.

In this blog post, we’ll discuss some of the best cities to visit and live in Western Canada, and hopefully after visiting them, you will feel more comfortable to make a decision that could change your life for the better.

• Vancouver, BC – Vancouver is a must-see when visiting British Columbia. The city is linguistically and ethnically diverse, and is one of the few cities in North America which has direct access to both the mountains and the ocean. Vancouver’s unique location, scenic outdoors and mild climate means that there is a host of activities that anyone can get involved with, no matter what time of year it is.
• Whistler, BC – As one of the best ski resorts in the world and a host of the 2010 Winter Olympic games, Whistler is a fantastic place for staying with family. Not only does it offer far more than skiing and snowboarding in the winter, there is a plenty of activities to get involved in during the summer months, from swimming in lakes to world class mountain biking and ziplining through the forest. If you are spending some time or living in BC, Whistler is the “perfect getaway” place.
• Calgary, AB – Calgary is a city in the province of Alberta, situated at the confluence of the Bow River and the Elbow River in the south of the province, in an area of foothills and prairie, about 80 km (50 mi) east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies. Calgary is a city where you can explore the magic of the Canadian Rockies by day and be back in time for dinner. Its cultural scene is rich in its spectrum of arts and performing arts and city is proud of its ever-evolving culinary scene.
• Edmonton, AB – Edmonton is the capital of Alberta, Canada. It is located on the North Saskatchewan River and is the centre of the Edmonton Capital Region, which is surrounded by Alberta’s central region. Edmonton is always celebrating something, from arts and culture to food and wine, dragon boats, winter and even accordions. There’s more than 60 festivals to choose from, year round.

Those are just a few of the fantastic cities that can be visited and considered for relocation in Western Canada, but there is many other attractions to discover in this great region, including Banff, Kelowna, Penticton, Kootenays etc. If you are considering moving to Western Canada, it’s a great idea to visit some cities first, and you can also check out our Viktoria Movers Calgary branch’s Blog for more tips on moving to Western Canada.
