We lived in Calgary for close to 4 years. It was okay in the beginning but soon being stuck in traffic jams 7 days a week and big city living got old and we wanted to be somewhere that was less stressful and where we could get a bit of land. We started applying for jobs in the territories and back in NS (both from here) and told ourselves that we would take the first good opportunity that presented itself. I was able to land a job in Halifax so moved here and she looked after selling the house and joined me about 2 months later. I don't regret going to Calgary and would go back to visit someday. We both gained great job experience and the good chunk of house equity after a year of ownership was a nice send off. It just wasn't for us and we moved on because we were miserable there.
