Calgary is in the midst of an economic boom, it being the capital city of the resource rich Canadian provice of Alberta. It may get cold, but there's skiing and that kind of thing. But all the folks moving in need a place to live, and Arbor Lake, on the northwestern outskirts of the city (bounded by highways with names that sound far more quaint than they are, Nose Hill Drive and Stony Trail), was founded in 1991 for this purpose. The median income was over $70,000 in 2000, not bad at all. A full quarter are immigrants -- from England, Poland, France and a few other places (Americans are #7 on the list I think).
To counter the bordom of suburban life some Arbor Lake young men (maybe a woman in there too somewhere) started an artistic /social collective, the Arbor Lake Sghool. While none of the works that I came across seemed at all thought provoking, it seems like a good idea. One thing that is certainly original is the word 'sgool', google it and you'll find the link at the top, the rest is random gibberish.
