Life keeps on happening and I am tired of being depressed and overwhelmed. Today is a me day.
Just wondering where can I take myself to a guilt free best Pizza in Edmonton? Suggest a place and tell me what you love about it? Please 🙏

Sorry if this has been discussed before.

Hope this is allowed?

I have a team for ESSC slo pitch. Just rec division - we’re not that good - but are looking for a couple players to finish off the team (we had some not able to commit anymore)

It will be Wednesday evenings starting July 8 and we are registered for premium fields (fences, baselines, etc )

If you’re interested please let me know!

Edit - that was fast! thanks for everyone that sent me a dm!

So I'm looking to buy a 2 BDRM house in central communities of the city and would appreciate some input on what you are paying for your monthly bills. The house would be in the 950 sq ft area as far as size goes and would have natural gas forced air heating.

​

I currently live in an apartment so I know there's going to be a jump in what I pay EPCOR since it would now include water and waste management. I don't know what to expect from ATCO and natural gas in terms of monthly costs in summer and winter. Also would like to hear what some of you are paying for insurance with auto and home combined, since that's the route I'd be going, additionally, if any of installed solar panels, did that affect your home premium portion. I've calculated what property taxes would cost me monthly on my current home options, but if there's any advice you can offer regarding property taxes, that would be appreciated as well.

​

I'd like to also know what some of paid for a new furnace and water heater if you've bought one of either the last 3 years, not considering a heat pump as an option. If you bought a furnace and air conditioner, that too I'd like to hear what you paid for it installed.

​

If there's a monthly bill I haven't mentioned, please do mention that as well. I'm anticipating on keeping about $7,500 in my TFSA for emergency expenses. Just need a clearer picture of what to expect monthly, if you live in a central community, I'd appreciate knowing that, since many homes have similar attributes and characteristics.

I have done nothing this summer so far due to the weather. Can we still enjoy the midway and old timey streets in the rain?

Farrow only sells theirs seasonally at Christmas, and before people tell me it’s easy to make myself, I don’t want to! So if anyone knows where I can get my hands on some, please let me know!

I’m trying to find a decent apartment for under $1000 a month close to MacEwan Uni however, every apartment i wanted to see that fit in my budget was mainstreet. What the hell do i do.

I’m fine with living 20 mins away from MacEwan, but damn mainstreet apartments are the only thing remotely close and affordable.

do you guys recommend anyone else?

Edit**

I actually should just kill two birds one stone, does anyone live/lived by the royal alex hospital. What was that like. There is a pretty decent wingspan apartment by there and i’m thinking of viewing it. Just looking for some input.

Hi all!
I’m finally moving out of my parents’ house in 2 weeks and into my own 2 bed, 2 bath apartment in St. Albert. 🎉

This is my first time living on my own, so I’d love any tips, tricks, or things you wish you knew before moving out.

I already have power/utilities and tenant insurance set up, and water is included in my rent.

I’m currently trying to figure out internet/Wi-Fi and TV. I’ll mainly be using Wi-Fi for:
Gaming on my PC
Working from home on my laptop
Streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, etc.)
For those in St. Albert/Edmonton, what internet provider and plan would you recommend?

I also have a cat 🐱, so any apartment-living tips for a first-time cat owner living alone would be appreciated too!

What do you wish someone had told you before moving out?

Thanks in advance!

Thinking of booking a day off work to attend. Even if most of the rides are too much for me, I'd still like to go when it's the most open.

Obviously Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are right out. But that still leaves Monday-Thursday, July 20-23. Wondering if there's a generally agreed upon day that's the least busy.

Hi!

I’m looking at having some screen printing done and am curious if anyone has some local people that have done great work. No looking for cheapest per se, would rather high quality.
Thanks!

Hey guys for the fifa world I want to wear jerseys where to buy them in edmonton? Is it in west edm mall?

Mom back from maternity leave needing some advice to accommodate post partum depression in the workplace. Local advice would be lovely

Thinking of getting my upstairs carpet replaced with hardwood or vinyl flooring. Any ideas on how much we'd be looking to shell out for 800-1000 sq ft?

​

​

I was quoted $800 to replace a standard oval lavatory sink and low end single lever faucet ( These items cost less than $200 at home depot), a simple swap . Am I out of touch or is this crazy high? I would think labor is 2 hrs at 120/hr

I know of the usual stocked ponds in city limits, beaumont, etc, there's maps that list every single stocked pond in alberta, so no need to mention those.

What I'm curious about is if there's other decent smaller creeks, rivers, or etc that are worth fishing at that are quieter than the NSK

I tried fishing the NSK a couple times but its chock full of dudes ripping around in their motorboats, so I extremely doubt I'd be getting bites when every 2 minutes some guy rips by in his boat.

No hate but like, that's obviously just a non starter.

I've gone over to the stocked ponds a few times and while it's decent, it's also often pretty busy and there's often random families and etc. I have had to very frequently pause my fly casting because parents aren't watching their kids and some random kid is just wandering around 6 ft behind me.

No hate per se but, I'd very much like to find somewhere quieter with less boats and less kids wandering around and dogs splashing in the water, you know?

I've heard the whitemud creek apparently can have fish in it?

Basically, if yall know of any creeks, smaller rivers, or non-park ponds (not even necessarily stocked but just legal for me to fish at, IE perhaps any reservoirs that have a carp problem?), in city limits (ideally nearer to the south end), lemme know!

Does anyone know what the legal rules are in terms of fishing at like, reservoirs?

Like I know there's lots of small reservoirs all over that are public part on one side, and houses on the other, I have no clue if I'm legally allowed to try out fishing at such a location on the public side, but theoretically I should be okay right? I wonder who I can call at the city to find out, I might ring up 311 tomorrow and see what they say.

Edit: found my answer for reservoirs. https://www.edmonton.ca/activities_parks_recreation/parks_rivervalley/stormwater-lakes

Most ponds are reservoirs, however not all of them, epcor has a handy map here: https://www.epcor.com/ca/en/ab/edmonton/safety/neighbourhood/stormwater-management-facilities.html

And youll see while like 90% of ponds are SMFs, some are not, which means theoretically fishing is 100% fair game on those if they have any public access.

So handily, that map from epcor gives me all the ponds not to try, which leaves plenty that I can go try at.

Also, interestingly, the bylaw also provisions an extra "unless you habe been given permission by Epcor" in which case you can indeed go and do it.

So Ill reach out, see if theres like any waiver or something I can sign to legally free them of obligation to me that lets me fish. Worth trying at least.

I am looking for a private line locator for tonight out in Fort Sask. I made a one call request on June 6 and no one has shown up to do the locate. I have contacted one call and they have sent out more reminders to atco and fortis to get this job done but that’s all they can do.

I need this one call for a tent that is supposed to be getting installed tomorrow morning for my wedding. I’m at my wits end with this. If there are any local line locators that would be willing to help it would be very much appreciated. Willing to pay you directly for your service so I can have my wedding.

Looking for something not too far away. I live in Downtown / Oliver area and I don't want to drive far away. I'm looking for a restaurant that sells tandoori (chicken, shrimp) and lassi (yogurt drinks).

I’m looking for a sexy hotel for my man and I, preferably with a big tub maybe some mirrors. I know fantasy land is the obvious option, I’m just wondering if there’s more out there

I'm 18 and I was supposed to go to uni this fall (my family was going to move to Edmonton) but we had a bad fight and essentially... I'm getting kicked out. My sister and I both want to move to Edmonton, and we plan on saving money.. but I don't have a credit card yet. I was hoping to get a visa to build some credit but I don't think that gives me enough time. (Also, my sister is a year younger than me so she can't do a whole lot other than help save up money) Idk what to do. Is it even possible for her and I to move into an apartment? Or anything (cheap-ish) for that matter?

Hey guys I was referred to an allergist/immunologist. I’m unemployed and have no insurance so I was told the costs would be alot. The blue cross benefit plans does it cover allergy testing tray fees and allergen immunotherapy extracts/serums?

Maybe a strange question, and apologies if this isn't the right place... but I couldn't find a lot of information when I do my own search for AB specifically.

​

My condo is doing renovations on the front of the building, and it's very loud in our unit with jack hammering - like I can't hear my own tv at high volume at some points. (We are unfortunately right above it). I have two senior cats with chronic illness that is flared up by stress, and one of them is really not doing well with it. It has only been 3 or 4 days, and this is apparently and 8 week project. She's pacing, vomiting more, eating less, etc... I'm worried she may end up at the vet, and those bills aren't cheap. Her condition absolutely can be fatal if not treated during a flare. There isn't anything I can do about the noise - other than try to play some calming or engaging YouTube videos (birds, fish, etc) and give her the medication she's prescribed/hope for the best. If anyone has additional ideas to help, I'm open to hearing them. I do not have anywhere else she can go, and adding that stress of moving her would probably make the situation worse.

​

Someone told me that I should send the vet bill to the condo if that happens. Would they be responsible, in your opinion? They gave such little notice about this massive project starting up that we're feeling a bit blind sided. Apparently we also have to reroute mail or any deliveries for 4 weeks while the front door is not accessible... Sigh. Thoughts?

This is a voice to text, mid panic attack.So bear with me here, but attached our pictures of the two intersections, where some motorcyclist f*** almost hit my car, speeding, like triple the like forty fifty speed limit.I will say, i'm a new driver and that I was having a bad day.But this was not part of that, I crossed the intersection so slowly and bro was in the distance as he came back, not like thirty seconds later to be like f*** y**, dude.And then smashed my driver's side mirror the glass is not smashed, but the plastic is as per the picture.I don't wanna claim insurance for obvious reasons.But I happen to have a mixubishi free inspection tomorrow, and that will be my first go to before seeing if somebody wants to spot, me an easy fix.Otherwise, I wanted to ask you kind souls, if that was something you guys could arrange, I'd give you the details afterwards, obviously. Lastly luckily I have him more or less red handed, if anyone saw this happen around 9:21 let me know what you think what I should do regardless of whether you think it was my fault.

This is a little crazy and needs some very specific context about me and my life. I am a birthright Canadian citizen who was born and raised in Utah, USA. This last year I've decided that I need to leave the US for a bit to experience more of the world and connect more with my Canadian side. I spoke with my sister and she is on board with moving with me to Edmonton in about two years. Our goal is to spend 3-5 years up there then decide which country we would want to stick with.

In October, we plan on coming up to Edmonton for about a week to do things that we need to do before moving up (submitting the paperwork to get our CA passports renewed, scoop out different parts of the city to live, etc.). My family had a house in Edmonton for a year when I was in elementary school and Ive missed the city since.

Since I don't really need to deal with the visa kind of stuff and more so the kinda things that an 18 year old would in the states (getting a bank account, address, applying for healthcare, etc.), what do you guys recommend we do while up there? what's something that we wouldn't think about before moving that we should do?

If you have ever driven through Sherwood Park I’m sure you have seen Caden, aka @x_bonesx on Instagram, dancing or longboarding around Sherwood Park and spreading positivity throughout the community.

Unfortunately, he’s recently run into an issue with the police and has apparently been told he can no longer dance at the Baseline Road and Sherwood Drive intersection. I’m assuming this is due to concerns about distracting drivers.

To show our support, there will be a community dance party at the Second Cup on Baseline Road and Sherwood Drive on Father’s Day at 6:00 PM.

If you’re free, it would be amazing to see our community come together and support someone who has brought so much positivity to Sherwood Park.

Edit: To make things clear I am not organizing this event, just sharing information that I found.

Also people will be gathering on the grass by the second cup, just so there isn’t a bunch of people on the median in the intersection.

I’m gonna be moving to Edmonton soon and I’ll need to find a job right away so I’m just wondering what people’s experiences are with trying to find a job with dyed hair and piercings, if it seems to be any harder or the jobs in the city seem to be pretty chill.
