Where to Buy Real Estate in Canada 2026: Calgary
– moneysense.ca
When most people think of Calgary, they picture cowboys and oil. They’re not wrong, but they’re about a decade behind. Since 2018, Calgary’s tech sector has grown by 78%.
The city’s food scene spans everything from Ethiopian and Korean spots to farm‑to‑table restaurants, and neighbourhoods like Inglewood and East Village have become some of the most walkable and culturally vibrant areas in Western Canada. Nature is never far; the Rockies sit on the horizon, Kananaskis Country is about an hour’s drive away, and Fish Creek Provincial Park brings the outdoors right to your doorstep.
With roughly 2,400 hours of sunshine a year, no provincial sales tax, and an average home price of about $628,000 across all property types as of February 2026, Calgary offers big‑city opportunity without the typical big‑city price tag.

Are women getting the right advice about RESPs?
– moneysense.ca
When my first child was born in early 2011, I wanted to set up a registered education savings plan (RESP) as soon as possible. My husband didn’t have any student debt of his own, but I’d left university with over $40,000 owing on a line of credit—a huge number that I carried into our marriage a year later.
Knowing firsthand what an emotional and financial burden student debt can be, I was determined to give my kids a better post-secondary experience and a solid foundation for their adult lives.
A little over a month after our daughter’s birth, my husband and I headed to our bank with the baby nestled against my body in a fabric wrap. We opened the RESP together, setting up regular contributions from our joint bank account, and felt good about the investment we were making in our child’s future.
Years later, we have two teenagers and a family RESP with a healthy balance, but I have regrets—and zero access to those funds. Here’s why, plus everything you should know before setting up an RESP for your child…
