Posted: Mon May 26, 2008 10:03 AM UTC
Hi!

I'm actually travelling over to Edmonton for an exchange program this summer. I'm curious about the standard of living in Edmonton. How much CND will I need to bring to enable me to live reasonably for 6 weeks?

Thanks!

Edmonton reward points
Posted: Tue April 15, 2008 04:13 PM UTC
We stayed at the Hilton this past weekend April 12 2008 and really enjoyed our stay.We have stayed there before and always were very pleased.I was told that there is some kind or rewards program where you accumulate points for future stays.We were not told this at time of check in so I was wondering how to go about it and if we can get credited for past stays.
Thank-you

Edmonton edmonton restaurant suggestions
Posted: Tue September 18, 2007 09:54 PM UTC
i'm looking for an unique, elegant, quiet (she's hard of hearing) restaurant to take an elderly person too. we live in edmonton so i'm quite familiar with the most popular ones. just wondered if anyone could recommend anything that maybe in their neighborhood that might not be well known. type of food doesn't really matter. decore, good food and good service. an example of the type of restaurant we really liked was the madison's grill. but, i would like something a little less expensive this time - entrees around $20. any suggestions for some hidden gems. thanks.

Edmonton Coffee Shop recommend ????
Posted: Fri January 12, 2007 11:41 PM UTC
Hi,

I plan to visit Edmonton soon to meet a very dear friend and will have only a few hours. Would like some recommendations on a nice quiet, cozy and comfortable coffee shop where we would be comfortable to sit, relax and chat for a few hours. Comfortable seating with privacy to carry a conversation and a relaxed atmosphere a must. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Will stay at the Crown Plaza so perhaps something nearby ? It has been many years since visiting Edmonton so I really need help !

Hi there to all you keyboard types. (get it?)

I'm from B.C and looking to move to Edmonton. I really would like your opinions on Living in Edmonton. Also I noticed that most if not all streets end with NW as opposed to Calgary. Is a reason for that.

Edmonton Winter in Edmonton
Posted: Tue November 7, 2006 03:39 AM UTC
Hi Everyone,
I am considering studying in Edmonton. I haven't had the chance to visit it, if ever i do, would not probably get the chance to experience the coldest part until i really decide to study there. Was wondering how cold is negative 30 or 40 - in terms of how many layers of clothing are usually used when outside e.g. going to the bus stop and so on? How long does this kind of weather generally lasts there? I come from the Philippines and had only experience negative 12C. Thank you very much for your help!!!

Edmonton come on everyone ... inspiration needed :)
Posted: Wed October 25, 2006 02:18 PM UTC
Hi everyone,

I've noticed Edmonton pages are pretty quiet, lets see you all get carried away and post a reply or two.. the more the merrier :)

I'm coming to Edmonton in January on a 1 year work visa. I've been working in UK & Ireland as a civil engineer for 2 years now. I am not able to make my mind up to whether i should look for work as an engineer and try to get different engineering experience or whether i should try something altogether different.
some ideas that have come to mind...
- Park ranger or something alse outdoorsy, i love outdoors:)
- Working in OilSands
- Construction industry as asst supervisor or project engineer
- any tother ideas??

criteria that i'd love to satisfy:
good people to work with, good money, challenge, reward, no more than 45-50 hrs per week... sounds great but looks like i'l have to make some exceptions??

hope you all enjoy giving feedback and be as crazy and generous with ideas as you can.. brainstorming by myself is a little boring:)

cheers,

Chris

Edmonton Relocating to Canada
Posted: Sat August 19, 2006 10:20 AM UTC
Hi everyone,
Me and my boyfriend are going to relocate to Canada shortly, so I would like to know a couple of things: cost of living, health care (about the insurance).
rentals (for 1 or a 2 bedroom apartment). Any area of Toronto is fine, but close to public transport and ammenities.
Does anyone know if Scarborough, Toronto East is a nice part of the city? are there enough public transport and ammenities in that area?
I would also like to know about the job market.
Thanks again to all!!!!!

Edmonton Another question
Posted: Mon May 29, 2006 06:23 PM UTC
This is THEHED, I posted a question about things to do in Edmonton....thanks for the great suggestions.

One more question: What about money? Are USD widely accepted for cabs, meals, drinks, tips, etc. Or should I exchange USD for CAN dollars?

All big expenses, flights, hotel are taken care of with credit cards. I'm talking about walking around money.

Once again I appreciate all the info.

Edmonton Things to do
Posted: Fri May 26, 2006 11:32 PM UTC
I will be visiting Edmonton in mid-June to attend the Churchill Cup, which will be played at Commonwealth Stadium. I will be staying downtown around 105 Street NW in Edmonton. I will arrive Wed evening, Cup is Saturday June 17, so I will have two days Thursday and Friday for visiting. I will not have a vehicle, I am travelling alone.

As usual I am looking for things to do. I am NOT interested in going to the mall. Museums, art, cycling, good food, theater, photography, are my interests.

Is the area I'm staying good for this sort of thing?

What about the Edmonton Queen? I would not want to go alone for a dinner cruise, but what about the afternoon non-eating cruises?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am excited to visit Edmonton and it will be my first time in Canada, except for a very drunken visit to Vancouver while I was in the US Navy, Expo 86.

Thank you.

Hey I just bought a trailer in Edmonton and I need to get it to Toronto...Is anyone out there thinking of coming to Toronto. It is a covered trailer 5 feet wide, 10 feet long and 5.9 feet high. You could pull my trailer for me and use it to move your stuff. Alternatively I would be willing to pay some of your gas just to haul it out here for me empty. Email me at ekimat7@rogers.com if you or someone you know is coming driving out this way....Thanks
