Studying in alberta canada for a year, what clothes to take?

We Answered:

The weather can be very cold in the winter, though what's on the thermometer doesn't tell the whole story. A sunny windless day of below-freezing in Alberta can feel quite warm and you might be fine in a heavy sweater and jeans. I'd bring a few outdoor clothing items to get you through any colder evenings when you first arrive but pack mostly your indoor clothing. As the first poster said, it's probably better to get winter clothing here. It could be expensive but doesn't need to be. Boots and coat are the things to make sure you get good ones of and where most of the money should go. Hats, gloves and so on are inexpensive. Winter clothing will be in the stores when you arrive or very soon after.
