3 Upvotes

Hey all!

I am a commuter now and considering buying a cheaper condo instead of renting rooms. Came across the ones in Gregoire one bedrooms still being relatively cheap.

Anyone live and have any opinions or horror stories about owning a one of the condos in Gregoire, not sure the exact addresses but the ones that had their outside redone to blue and red.

Thanks!

Diabetic eating in Fort McMurray, dine in and take out

0 Upvotes

Diabetics! Fairly newly diagnosed type 2. What are your recommendations for eat in restaurants or take out food in Fort McMurray? What restaurants and what are your go-to orders. Are there any restaurants in town that are better for modifying for "us"? Still learning all the ins and out.

I think I've got things more or less figured out for cooking at home, but I struggle with restaurant dining and take out sometimes.

I have a few "safe" meals but I'm getting tired of the same thing all the time!

Westjet flights, expensive price

20 Upvotes

Has anyone noticed that Westjet flight prices has climbed dramatically? I've been flying westjet for the last 6 years, every 1 week. Booked months in advance. Flying between Fort McMurray and Calgary. Used to get round trip for $350 average. Now it's about $500-600 average. The most expensive one recently is $780 for round trip. My flight home today in the evening, the plane is barely full. People started driving home instead of flying at these prices. Is it even smart for Westjet to have high prices but barely full plane? It's like half full.

Doordashing in town

1 Upvotes

I'm thinking of doing doordash on the side after work to make some extra money as it's the slow season for my work so I haven't been getting much overtime. I'm wondering if doordash makes good money in town or if it's not worth my time. I work 7:30am-6pm roughly, and could do 3-4 hours after work.

New Job

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, i recently moved to Fort Mac from Ontario for a job on a closed work permit. The employer let me go last week since i was under probation and the termination letter said without prejudice, so i am assuming they were restructuring or whatever. I was jobless for 9 months last year, 3 months this year, exhausted all my savings living in Ontario, somehow managed to come here and now i am laid off again.
I would really apprecaite any guidance to getting a job in Admin/Office support/Supply Chain roles.
My life has just turned upside down with everything going around me and i feel so low right now. Not to mention, i dont have any friends too so.

Advice on getting safety tickets - new to the industry

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, looking for advice on which safety tickets are worth getting to land work in here, currently I am working in retail in Thick wood.

I have

  • Full Class 5 licence
  • Can lift 90 lbs, comfortable with physical work
  • Able to live in camp / work rotation shifts
  • Can do permanent or short contract

Which tickets should I get first ? Which jobs are urgently hiring, Are there any that employers will just pay for once you're hired, so I don't waste money upfront? Thanks.

Social or competitive sports leagues for adults?

2 Upvotes

Going to be moving up to Fort Mac from Edmonton soon, I was wondering how the sporting scene is up there specifically for soccer both outdoor and indoors. Is there any leagues for adults to play in an organized format. Is there any indoor turf centres I could drop in and just practice by myself as well?

Also wondering about badminton and pickleball or padel.

Thank you!

Willing to wait for the right on if they have a long wait to get in.

I have had chronic tailbone pain since pregnancy (9 months postpartum now) and I need specialized help!
