We noticed Gary and Gertrud about a month ago when they flew by making a lot of noise. Being new to Calgary we thought that maybe spring is here and the geese are returning from South. After talking to people we found out that the geese and ducks actually stay here throughout winter and brave […]

One of the first things I did when arriving in Calgary was to find out if there is an Estonian Society of some sorts. I figured that we are coming completely into the unknown and do not know anyone and therefore meeting some Estonians would be a good way to start building a network of […]
The weather has been so mild in Calgary for the past 2 weeks that I had started to think that the spring is here to stay. On Friday when it was +13 degrees and fantastic sunshine, I noticed a winter storm warning on the local weather website. It was described as a quite a bad […]
This Saturday we decided that we go and see the different galleries that we have noticed around downtown Calgary. We went to yoga class, then out for a lunch at Bumpy’s – very nice little café with excellent choice of everything. We had printed out a map with addresses of all the galleries that we […]
Last Sunday we went to see a hockey game – Calgary Flames vs Phoenix Coyotes (a.k.a. Prairie Dogs). Neither myself nor my husband have ever been hockey fans, but since we had a chance to go and see a local team play in a country where the national sport clearly is hockey, we did not […]
We got a lot of things done past Saturday – after the successful purchase of our cowboy and girl wear we went to Calgary WineFest. http://www.celebratewinefest.com/calgary.html It was held at the Stampede Grounds in a Big Four building – it is a very big building. We had got the tickets to the Saturday afternoon session and […]
One of the most known things about Alberta (besides oil and gas) is probably that here are a lot of cowboys/girls. We saw the first people with hats and boots already when we arrived at Calgary airport end of last year. Since then we have seen lots more. One of the big events that Calgary […]
Big day today – registered my company in Alberta. Will get the papers in 5-7 business days, but considering that today is the birthday of my company: Coaching by Ave Peetri Inc. The process itself was quite easy. Did a google search to find out how to register, found out that there are several companies […]
is a book by Debbie Ford that I read a few years ago and that had a profound effect on how I see myself and my behaviour. I had always thought that I have to be hiding away my negative thoughts and the dark sides and experiences of myself. They were still there of course […]
I decided that Canmore – where we went next and where we stayed overnight, deserves a separate blog post on its own. We had heard lots of people recommend Canmore as a nice alternative to Banff, but we did not expect to fall in love with Canmore. It is smaller than Banff and has this small […]
