Hey Albertagrown,
So you are thinking of moving close to Brussels? Awesome! What is the name of the village (if you don't mind telling).
Yes I found it quite surprising that I have not found any Canadian communities yet. Although I have met some British. There are quite a few Brits living here.
You are partially right. There are some Irish pubs and I have heard English there. Movies are usually played in their original version with subtitles.
There is currently a Star Wars exhibit at Tours & Taxis. Koekelberg had an exhibit on DaVinci (not sure if it is still there). The Atomium is celebrating its 50th anniversary. They light it up during the night (but I think that's every night) and will have fireworks.
There are a lot of good restaurants in Belgium. There is a lot of variety. There is a place called "Cook and Book" which is quite original. And at "Mmm" you get to cook your own dinner!
So what region of Alberta are you from? I used to live in Calgary. before living in Ontario.
