It's brutally cold in the winter--do not visit. That said, it's cheap and gorgeous in the summer (May to September). Temperatures usually are between 20 and 30 Celsius during the day, and the sky is almost always clear. The sunsets are gorgeous, and there is a riverbank corridor that runs through the city where you can walk for 20 kilometres along the river and never cross a street (it's called the Meewasin... If you like nature, you will want to book a place near it).

It could be a lot worse if you're thinking of coming to Canada for a while, rent can be found relatively low cost and utilities are cheap too.
