Anyone else receive a robocall today claiming to be from the AB government inviting you to join a town hall (or similar) regarding the upcoming 2025 budget? 

Not entirely sure how they got my number as I am not a UCP member and never been involved politically. Just curious if others are getting this robocall.

'Cash cow': Alberta to reduce photo radar sites by 70 per cent

I'm a single mom w. Adhd. Recently I had to flee a dv situation, but I managed to apply for my student loan for next term early. Fleeing, I ended up finding the nearest place to my kids school, and was within the budget I expect to pay anywhere, if anything I got a good deal but still very pricey. I was already approved for my student loan for this winter term coming up, however, they only lent me 8k. I am completely broke after fleeing and have had to depend on other resources to help me get by in the last month to cover my rent. With that being said, I called to confirm if the 8k was to cover the tuition AND rent, and they said yes. The issue with this, is this is the lowest amount I have ever received, and I put in all the exact same info as my last student loan, and asked for the same amount. But they gave me $4000 less? Having this 8k will leave me short on rent by a few hundred. Or I would have to sacrifice groceries, and medication and my phone bill, which I obviously cannot Do. I am looking for a part time job right now, but I am having absolutely no luck whatsoever. 

With that being said, I have a casemanager (due to having to flee) who can advocate for my situation, and I can get my landlord to provide a document stating my rent amount, but I'm worried that if I appeal, because it is now later, it'll push my student loan that has already been approved back and I won't get it in time to pay rent? 

I'm not really sure how this works. I've never had to make an appeal before. But because I'm a new tenant of only two months the possibility of not being able to pay my rent on-time is not very desirable. 

Because I was already approved, would that delay my loan coming? Or would they send more later on? What's the deal.

Northern Alta. house explosion likely caused by gas leak: RCMP

Hi everyone! 

My husband recently accepted a new position in Calgary, so we are moving to Alberta in a couple of weeks. 

The competitive market for electricity and natural gas system is completely new to us. I really like the idea of it, but I am currently caught in the weeks trying to figure out the different companies and rates. 

We are moving to Crossfield and are wondering  what recommendations people have concerning distributors (primarily Energy Direct, EPCOR, and Fortis) and fixed/variable rates. I have noticed the distribution fees vary a bunch as well, so I’m trying to find a healthy balance. 

Any advice would be appreciated!! 

Thanks!

Hello 

I know this is a long shot, but I'm moving to Alberta in the new year, location undetermined but ideally Calgary. I'm looking for someone to take a chance on me and help me out with a heavy equipment technician apprenticeship. I come with boots and a basic set of hand and power tools but I'll get whatever I need to work. I've applied to over 100 positions in the last 2 months on indeed with no luck. 
What you'll get from me is someone who's on time, doesn't call in sick because my nose is running, and someone who doesn't spend the entire shift scrolling tiktok in the bathroom. I'm ready to work, and ready to learn, and if you treat me right you'll have an employee for life.

Need to find some clarification. Bought a ex school sports team bus (white and without any school bus signage) My insurance plays stubborn and told me I wouldn’t be able to drive with my class 5 if it has capacity for 15 or more passengers also they would not insure me if that’s the case.The bus has hydraulic brakes and the seating will be removed as soon as I get the bus transported home. I do not intend on moving any passengers or drive for hire but I have a hard time to find any clear answers online. Any help is appreciated.

Hello everyone, it’s very confusing. There was a hail damage on my Honda 2022 and today my insurance company said my vehicle is total loss. They are going to pay 34000 and taking my vehicle.
As my vehicle is financed, 34000 will go the financed company according to my insurance company. So at the end this means I will lose my vehicle plus the money that was paying from last two years for loan? As I purchased my vehicle in 2022 of 55000$ and 36000 is pending for loan.

Our little buddy, Winston Churchquill, is having some issues, so looking for recommendations for vets that know about hedgehogs. We live in Crossfield, so ideally looking in Calgary or Red Deer, but willing to drive up to Edmonton or further if needed. Any recommendations?

As the title suggests.
I am planning to move to Alberta, Calgary specifically in hopefully 5-10 years from now.
Currently I reside in Hawaii (Maui) with a 19/hr job (12 hour shifts daily) and I have the opportunity to get into a commission position where I'll make triple if at least 2-3k a month more than I make now (3100-3200, After bills I am usually left with $2000) for the forseeable future. I love my job and coworkers/connections as well but I know living here longterm will not be worth the blood, sweat and tears.

My main reason for moving especially is the fact the property and quality of life is getting worse and more expensive as time passes by. At the age of 19 (single, somewhat independant so I barely have any bills besides my car) I am not able to get an affordable let alone "clean" roof over my head to finally live independantly from everyone so I reside with a family friend and help out around the house as needed.

I haven't been to Calgary yet which might make this post seem weird or dumb to ask so far in the future but I do have a uncle who lives in Calgary for a while and shows me pics of what he does and such regularly (I won't reside with him though) so I at least have someone to know in case of emergency.

Anyway. My background info aside now. The only other question I have besides obviously getting citizenship, a condo/apartment and getting previous belongings including my personal car through customs and to me (safe to assume I am also most likely missing out some other important document as I am moving to a different country vs a different state) is what the cost of living can differ depending on where you pick to live in Calgary and how much I should expect to save before moving. Any other general things I should know is appreciated as well.

My current job and hobby reside with the automotive industry, in the past I have done airport work & retail. Preferibly I don't want to go back to retail ever but I am open to looking for other places of work.

I know that people in my age group aren't that bright and think there honda civic is a race car.

CWB training in Alberta. 

Curious if anyone here knows if there are facilities offering CWB training in Alberta, Calgary or surrounding area specifically. I'm a journeyman welder and have been for almost 3 years, but have been working for a shop in Calgary that hasn't had need for any extra certifications. I'm confident in my welding but don't know the cwb processes or requirements very well and would like to be able to train a bit before trying for all position SMAW. Thanks to anyone who has any info.

My contract ends on Dec 31 but I recently received an email from my manager saying I'll be terminated on Dec 20. I tried searching online but couldn't really find a clear explanation as to if they could do this. This is my first job out of university and I was really looking forward to getting another week's worth of pay.
