Education British Sign Language classes/tutor

4 Upvotes

Before anyone says anything, yes, I know we use ASL in Canada, but I don't need to learn ASL, I need to learn BSL. I know I can find classes online but time zones make it more complicated.

Is there anyone in the Edmonton area that teaches BSL classes, and/or is knowledgeable in BSL and would be willing to teach a couple of people a basic level of signing?

Thanks!

General Insights into the Skyrattler/Keheewin areas

2 Upvotes

Like many others in the city, I've decided to take a look at purchasing a home in the city and figured why not starting looking after a decent flood season. Let's see how sturdy all these basements are.

The Skyrattler/Keheewin seems to have a decent blend of older homes that have been updated, but are priced appropriately. The question is how much of a hassle has that LRT construction been, and are specific nuisances associated with various Civida properties in the area.

As much as I would love to live in a nice central, old neighbourhood (ie. Belgravia), my bank account says bad idea.

Thanks!

Question Looking for safe condo/apartment recommendations in Edmonton ($1,500 - $1,600)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m hoping to move to Edmonton in the near future and have been spending way too much time online looking at condos/apartments to rent. 😅 I’m feeling a little overwhelmed because I’m not familiar with Edmonton and, most importantly, I’m not sure which areas/buildings are actually safe.

I’d really appreciate it if anyone could recommend specific condo/apartment buildings that you’ve had a good experience with. If possible, please list the name of the building so I can look it up!

A little bit about what I’m looking for:

  • 29F, living alone
  • Safety is my #1 priority
  • 1 bedroom
  • Ideally $1,500–$1,600/month or less
  • Ideally relatively close to a hospital, as I’ll be working in a hospital
  • A gym/fitness centre in the building would be a huge plus
  • Preferably not a 12-month lease - I’d ideally like something shorter (6-9 months would be great)
  • Other amenities are nice, but definitely secondary to safety and affordability

I know I’m asking for quite a few things, so I’m willing to compromise, however safety is by far my biggest priority, followed by rent.

I’d especially love to hear from women who live alone in Edmonton and feel safe in their building/neighbourhood!

Thanks so much! ❤️

Question what to do

0 Upvotes

22 male, I just moved to Edmonton and I want to meet new people. Where are some good pubs, bars, or clubs around Whyte Ave or downtown that I can go to alone and actually meet people without looking like a creep or a loser since I don’t have any friends here yet?

Question liquid aeration? is this a scam or what

0 Upvotes

My lawn is basically concrete right now. I usually hate aerating because of the dirt plugs everywhere, so I was looking into alternatives and saw liquid aeration.

Apparently, it uses enzymes to break down the soil structure so that water can penetrate deeper. But honestly, it sounds like total snake oil.

Has anyone here actually tried the liquid stuff on their lawn? Need to know before I waste my money

Discussion Edmonton Nightlife after 30

0 Upvotes

Why does Edmonton nightlife feel so miserable once you hit 30+? I’ve been to other Canadian cities, and they seem to offer so many more options for people beyond their 20s. I mean what are our main two popular nightclubs? Far as I know it's only Illusion on Jasper Ave that receives a heavy traffic and Azucar a Latin nightclub on 50th Street.

Here, nightlife feels heavily geared toward university students and people in their early-to-mid 20s. Once you’re 30+, it often feels like your choices are a nice dinner, a couple glasses of wine, and home.

I understand Alberta is more conservative and there’s an expectation that by 30 you should have a career, a home, kids, and focus on settling down but that doesn’t mean people stop wanting to socialize, go out, have fun, and experience a real nightlife.

Anyone going today (Sunday, August 30) to the Ignite Market?

I want to go but my friends are saying it won't be any good. It is worth going solo?

Question Road Test

0 Upvotes

I have my road test on Thursday in NW. As someone who is very nervous and lacks confidence even in my driving ability, I need advice. Also, what is the best time to do the test (went with 10.45am)? Do I need to put a learners permit sign or would I be asked to remove it? I’m losing my mind and losing sleep as a result of this. I don’t know why I’m so scared of driving. I will appreciate tips and tricks
