Job Application - Sherritt

Just seeing if anyone has recent experience working at Sherritt or knows anyone who does. I'm considering applying but the online reviews are either extremely negative or extremely positive.

I know little about the company so any insight would be extremely helpful!

Bus Tracking Website

I hated PassioGo with a passion, but it is handy actually seeing where the buses are instead of just going off of the status on Google Maps (or the Transit App if the Fort ever gets it working). There's a website that shows the location of the buses, so I thought I'd pass it on in case there's others here who'd find it useful. There's a lot of visual noise when you open it, since it starts on Edmonton by default. Just scroll to the Fort and you're good to go - as long as the Fort's equipment is working lol

Excessive vehicle noise

Where is the best place to complain for excessive vehicle noise Edmonton, police or R.C.M.P. in the fort? You know it's noisy when everything in your house shakes from a vehicle from the outside sometimes you can feel it in your skull. We have toddlers that can't sleep because of these noisy vehicles waking up constantly throughout the night, torturing us.

Considering a move

Hey everyone, I’m looking at potential options for a move to Ft. Sask with my family. I’m looking for community feedback on community involvement, feel, places to avoid, etc…

We have elementary and middle school kids presently. I feel like the south side close to the river could be what I’m thinking. If anyone has additional insight I would be grateful for it.

Fort Sask Wendy

Why are they so rude? And they are always shouting at each other in punjabi.

Love Wendy's but I avoid this place so not to deal with the shit staff.

Is that our fault that they paid the Wendy's franchise owner to buy a work permit to come to Canada? So why the attitude?

Moving to Edmonton

Hi.

Potentially moving to Edmonton and was looking at fort Saskatchewan.

Just looking for input of people that have been living there for a while. Is there a place I should avoid while looking for housing ?

How's the town for young kids, parks, activities etc.

How far are you from Edmonton

We've been living in NB for 5 years now, fully bilingual but was wondering if there's any french people living in tow ?

We have two young kids (1 and 3)

Fort Sask Informed

Perhaps the people on Facebooks Fort Sask informed group should take a course in Incident Command. They’re deleting EVERY comment about the ongoing situation in the Fort. People are not commenting on police activities as being asked, nor are they breaking the groups rules. Now you’re forcing the community away from trusted areas where pertinent information could be shared annd instead to the fringe areas of social media and rumours can fly.

Poll: Water Tower

This could controversial, but does anyone else really dislike the water tower design? Crayon stick figures don't really do it for me, personally. I think it's time for an update.
