I moved from Calgary to Victoria about 3 years ago. It's definitely a change. The people are different and they aren't as welcoming as Calgarians, so you may find it tough to make friends. I have about a dozen friends out here, but the majority of them aren't from Victoria and are relatively new transplants as well. That being said, I love it out here and it would take a lot for me to move back to Calgary. There are things I miss about Calgary (i.e. friends, family, nightlife, pro sports) but I really enjoy the pace and lifestyle out here, and I love being 10 min from the beach.
