Is there many people here living or based out of Alberta?

I am in Edmonton myself but I travel around the province a lot so I would be able to meet up with people living in different cities. If anyone is interested in meeting up or forming a Skype (or similar) mastermind group let me know. Would be great to have some like minded individuals to talk to once a week or meet up with occasionally.

I was thinking about moving next spring/summer and Calgary or Edmonton were on the list of possible choices. Are winters colder than in Quebec? Is it hard to find a job?

Job market is horrible now. Oil prices are terrible. Everyone is losing their jobs. I'm talking 1000's, 10s of thousands if you include the job losses from the beginning of the year.

If you just want a service job, those are always available, but Oil and Gas, office jobs, etc is shit right now.

Winters are definitely not colder. (lived in montreal 18 years). But the weather is erratic. One day could be 25c, the next day -5c, etc.

I'm in IT. I am having trouble finding a job here in QC City.

It's erratic here too. But what I hate the most is the cold! Last winter it was between -30 and -40 for like month and a half! I had to break the ice around the wheels with a crowbar every f***ing morning :rage:

Welcome to Canada :) I lived in New Brunswick last winter...that was a brutal experience.

Are you looking for full time or contract work? What do you specialize in?

No, it's not really the same. We have something called a Chinook wind which is unique to the area.

Anyway, if you want to visit and check things out, I have a spare bedroom you can probably use.

Nice! There's some nice buildings around there. Arriva Tower? Or closer to the ones with the TD bank at the base?

I have a fairly open schedule if you ever want to meet up.

It's an old building from the 70's. Just made a offer on it yesterday, going to be a fix and flip. I'm young like you, 24, so would be cool to meet someone my age with a similar mind set! I'm really busy with slow lane working 50-60 hour weeks but next time I'm in calgary with free time I'll message you.

Nah I rent a room here lol. Everything is priced so high and the rents aren't high enough to make money. Calgary is a great spot for rentals though. If you have enough cash for a property to get started, pretty sure it was the city with the lowest vacancy rate for 2014.

Hey all. I'm also located in Calgary (Spruce Meadows - bring your passport deep south) and am interested in attending any meetups. Weekends work better for me.

I'm in Edmonton. IT work seems to be stable, but a comfy, safe, slowlane job is what I'm trying to get away from here!

I am permanently moving from Edmonton to the Banff/Lake Louise region next week.
Anyone who wants to come meet up over the winter (snowboarding/coffee/hike etc) get in touch.

I am always up for hiking and skiing. I prefer to do both on week days when its not busy as heck. If that ever works for you let me know!

I believe it was Mt. Norquay, last year they had $2 lift passes the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
