Hey friends I just moved here from the US and I previously had Hulu, HBO, Netflix and Disney+. What can I watch here in Canada? What streaming services should I use? How do you get live TV if you do not have cable? Thank you! submitted by /u/Soggy-Professor7025 [link] [comments]

I have a normally simple repair that needs to be done on the water shut off valve in my house, which would set me back no more than $500. Unfortunately there is no curb side shut off for my home and the only way to shut off my water also involves turning off the water for two apartment buildings, so EPCOR will not shut off the water unless there is an emergency. I need to change the worn out valve or risk the line failing inside my home, but the only way to do the repair without shutting off the water is freezing the pipes. The quoted cost is $500-600 an hour for freezing alone for 2 to 3 hours, and the total with parts and labour will be $1.5k to $3k. I'm desperate for other options at this point because I've already had to replace an oven and a water tank this year. Anyone have any experience or or idea of who I can go to, or what I can do? So far the response has been it's on me for expecting the city to have a working curbside shut off for my house. submitted by /u/IMOBY_Edmonton [link] [comments]

I usually wait until spring and hire a company to clean it all (I'm disabled and going out to clean poop every day is not possible) however this weather is making my yard unusable because of the amount of melted / frozen turds to the ground. I used up over 50 bags to pick up multiple turds (2 dogs) and I didn't even clear half the yard. I couldn't go out when it was -30 and all of it thawed in less than a week so I couldn't even do it in increments. how do y'all clean it in this bullass weather? I tried shovelling but it just sticks to the shovel and then I'm scraping turds off the shovel and that's yucky. submitted by /u/Humble-Skill-2331 [link] [comments]

Hi! My younger sister has mold growing in her bathroom which she has unfortunately hid from us and it’s growing all around really and it’s stressing everyone in the house out I am wondering if any of you have been in similar situations and have had companies effectively remove mold and properly test the mold wnd everything went well for you because I’ve heard that some companies are basically scams they upcharge you and just spray bleach on the mold and call it a day and it grows back immediately and I’m trying to avoid that as much as possible as it seems to have started to affect her health 🫠 submitted by /u/lemontart77 [link] [comments]

I was reading a post from 3 years ago which basically says that overnight parking isn’t allowed but that the city won’t do anything so long as it’s occasional and only one night. Has anyone tried leaving their car overnight that can confirm or deny this? (south west so less worried about crime and more worried about a ticket/ tow) submitted by /u/Froggy__Business [link] [comments]

I have a friend who's decided to come and visit from Australia this summer and he's never been to the Rockies!! I wanna show him the BEST they have to offer 😀 I love hiking myself and have really gotten into it the past couple of years but I could use some good hike suggestions 🙂 Here's the criteria: - Good views! (Duh) - Not too busy (do not recommend Johnston Canyon or Ha Ling to me!) - Under 1000m elevation - Within 3 hours of Calgary - Bonus points if it's dog friendly 😉 Thanks in advance all! submitted by /u/SleepyyQueen [link] [comments]

Hey Edmonton! I'm looking to get into healthcare and considering becoming an ECG Technician. A few questions for anyone working in cardiology or healthcare here: Are there jobs for ECG techs in Edmonton? Hospitals, clinics, private cardiology offices? What certification do employers actually want? I've seen NHA, NTA, CSCT mentioned - what matters most here in Alberta? Has anyone done an online ECG certification program and gotten hired locally? Or do employers prefer the 2-year cardiology technologist diploma from NAIT/SAIT? What's the pay like starting out? Any clinics or hospitals that hire entry-level ECG techs willing to train? Thanks in advance! Trying to figure out if this is a realistic path or if I need the full diploma to get my foot in the door. submitted by /u/Present_Swordfish_23 [link] [comments]

We’ve been looking on the Internet, and cannot find any businesses that are still open. Happy Nappy appears to be permanently closed. Does anybody know of a cloth diaper laundry service in Edmonton or immediate area? My friend is due with their first child in a couple months and wants to get things lined up ahead of time. It would be a great baby shower gift if I could find a subscription service for them. Please, no judgement or hate on cloth diapers. I am respecting their choices.

I just wanted to voice my appreciation for all the folks that have been out in the city that stop safely and get out of their vehicles to help people that are getting stuck in these shitty road conditions this year. Ive had my service van towed out twice just by random passer-bys. And the people that stop to help me push out others in the moment has been heart warming. To people that stop and stare, or start filming to make fun of people for not knowing how to drive or having shitty tires. Go pound sand. submitted by /u/sithodeas2 [link] [comments]

Hey so I’m 19 and plan on going to school for the Primary Care Paramedics course at NAIT. I’m having a horrible time trying to save up for the course as I live independently with my dog and work 2 jobs. My plan was to upgrade my English 30 and Chemistry 30 separately over a summer/fall course, to make sure I have time to prioritize both courses the same. Then after that I imagined I would have enough to pay for my pre-reqs out of pocket as they don’t qualify for a student loan, and then take out a loan for the actual course. This is now seeming next to impossible as I’m working basically to live paycheck to paycheck and am trying to find another solution to get to where I want to be. I’m considering taking a loan out for a different course, to work that for a few years and later return to school for paramedics. The issue is I have no idea what else I would want to do. I’m okay with children, animals and people in general so wouldn’t mind working toward an EA certificate or something similar. Now for the questions. Where would it be best, and cheapest to do academic upgrading? Should I work toward a smaller career and go back later, or tough it out until I can get it done the first time? My highschool grades technically meet the admission requirements for the NAIT course, but they aren’t the best, should I even bother upgrading in that case? If a smaller first career choice is the better option, which career would you recommend I look into or what do you do for work yourself that might be considered a ‘hidden career’? Any and all information and advice is highly appreciated, I’m just trying to get through life and wanted some unbiased opinions on how to go about this. submitted by /u/justagirl420690 [link] [comments]

Hey folks! Just a little update. Some folks may want to know about next steps. I will be making the following notice of motion next Tuesday at the Urban Planning Committee. That means it will be debated as one of the last items in the following Council meeting. Here it is: That Administration provide a report, based on public feedback and industry best practices, outlining options and financial implications for a Snow and Ice Control "Surge Capacity" strategy to ensure timely service delivery during unexpected or extreme precipitation events, including: 1. An operational analysis of projected extreme weather frequency based on current climate modelling and Climate Resilient Edmonton data; and 2. Mechanisms to scale resources (example: on-call private contracting, emergency procurement) to meet Service Level Agreements when accumulation exceeds base fleet capacity. 3. Return with unfunded item specific strategies to prioritize accessibility and mitigate mobility barriers for seniors and persons with disabilities during these surge events. (Example: more proactive crosswalk and access point windrow removal and clearing) (wording subject to change slightly through refinement and consulting with Admin and colleagues - this is a normal process) What this would do, if passed, is ask City Administration to return to Council with a report on the listed items. In conversation with Administration, we can clarify the intent of the report and more clearly define what Council would like to see. What many might not know is that a budget is set in advance, and then Administration essentially configures for that budget. When it come to Snow and Ice Control, that means "X" number of plows, graders, etc. are on hand - according to the approved budget. In 2024, if Council had voted to substantially increase service levels and purchase more graders, Administration would have begun the procurement process. So now, when this motion returns, Council will have the opportunity to give the go ahead for Administration to set up a surge response for potential future events, work with the private contractor ecosphere to develop agreements that put Edmonton on a more secure footing going forward as far as being able to access additional service in a timely fashion, and ensure that folks with mobility challenges can still get around when the going gets tough in winter. Understand that this is a motion for a suite of defined plans and strategies to study, debate, improve, and approve if that is the will of Council. It is possible my motion is defeated by a majority of Council and no action is taken. - You will notice that there is no conversation about budgeting for the overall snow and ice service. That is because Council is going to be taking a "Build from the Ground Up" approach to the upcoming 4 year budget debate in 2026. _ That means a ton of public roadshows and frank discussions of services, service levels, and the challenges inherent in operating a rapidly growing municipality of over a million people with a surrounding region of hundreds of thousands of people. So big decisions on the ultimate Snow and Ice Budget going forward will emerge from those conversations. And I am making room for the Mayor to lead on that. Stay tuned. In the meantime, this motion is a prudent next step and does not interfere witht he larger upcoming conversation. And for those who missed it, check out the Snow & Ice Control Budget Builder! aaronpaquette.ca/snow-ice submitted by /u/aaronpaquette- [link] [comments]

Site update. Jan. 14, 5:45 p.m. 16 Avenue N.W. Traffic Eastbound lanes are fully open. Westbound inside lane is open. Westbound curb lane and right-turn lane remain closed. Please pay attention to road signs as speed limits may be reduced. Water safety Crews have collected water samples from the refilled feeder main and confirmed it meets or exceeds drinking water standards set by Alberta Health Services and Alberta Environment and Protected Areas. Construction update This morning we turned on the first set of pumps which begins the gradual introduction of water flow into the pipe. We are now allowing the system to stabilize. If it is stabilized, Thursday morning we’ll turn on additional pumps, which will increase the flow in the pipe. It will take another 24 hours to stabilize again. If that has happened, Friday morning we will turn on the final pump. This multi-phase process carries a higher risk as increased water flow can stress pipes and connections. We still need to continue to save water. Small actions make a big difference. Find out how to save water and stay informed at calgary.ca/watermainbreak. submitted by /u/JeromyYYC [link] [comments]

Happy Wednesday! This is a continuation of my pattern of posting what I think are decent grocery deals with the hope that this will save some people some money. As noted previously this is heavily skewed to items that I and my family eat. There are probably additional items that are good deals but I don't know it because they aren't items I use but hopefully my list is still useful to you. A few quick reminders: PC Optimum points are collected at No Frills and Superstore. 1,000pts is worth $1. Scene+ points are collected at Safeway, Sobeys and FreshCo. 100pts is worth $1. The value of Save on Foods points depends on what you redeem them for. If you redeem them for a 4L jug of milk then 1,000pts is worth about $1.50. Other redemptions might make them more or less valuable. Superstore, No Frills, FreshCo and Save on Foods are generally willing to price match identical products from (some) other major grocery stores if you show them the item in the competitor’s flyer while checking out so knowing what is on sale at stores that you don't visit can still be useful. There are some restrictions on this... FreshCo won't price match Safeway or Sobeys. Superstore (at least some locations) won't price match Coop. The No Frills on 85st SW won't price match FreshCo. Finally, thank you to everyone that has posted positive comments. It's always nice to receive positive feedback.

A few months ago I posted about this pharmacist that prescribed and charged my parent's Alberta Blue Cross without having ever seen them or diagnosing them with anything, I took the post down due to threats of a defamation lawsuit from them. Instead of going through the rigamarole, I decided to take down the post and wait till the official decision was posted by the Alberta College of Pharmacist, which you can read right here (warning: it's pretty chockful of legalese and it repeats itself in the findings/submissions): https://share.google/2gR1tS1VCjCJj9vu3 Anyways, if your parents have received anything from this pharmacist; Jason Howe-Shi Lee of Deansgate Compounding Pharmacy, make sure it's something they actually requested/been diagnosed for/etc. The ACP did tell me that there was evidence of more misconduct and misdeeds similar to what happened with my parents but they wouldn't pursue it unless people reported it. submitted by /u/MMM_Beefy [link] [comments]

My sister was locked out of her house and said that she was charged $1370 by a locksmith to get in. I thought that price was crazy but she asserted that “she paid emergency rates and that they completely removed a smart lock that needed to be drilled out and replaced it with a high end one”. This was during the afternoon on a Wednesday. Is it conceivable that this could be the cost of a locksmith job in Edmonton? EDIT: Thank you very much to everyone for the responses. I learned quite a bit and found the discussion very informative. Most people feel that this is scam pricing, but some pointed out the emergency response and high end new lock replacement as making this cost plausible. I was shared the itemized invoice. The costs were: Service Call: $15 Emergency Service: $249 New Keypad5OSC + 2Keys G2 Bolt Security System - ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 UL Listed: $695 Re Key: $49 Labour: $199 Credit Card Transaction Fees: $38.02 submitted by /u/Equal_Pop211 [link] [comments]

Anyone else notice the increase of bedbugs in Calgary? Growing up it seemed so uncommon and I never even ran into anyone who experienced them or knew someone else who had them. Was very much a “that’ll never happen to me” situation. Now I have gotten them twice in the last 5 years in 2 different buildings. They are lower income, so maybe that’s something to look out for? I check almost DAILY though cause I am truly traumatized from the first time. Idk… Seems like pests are super rampant in the city recently, especially bed bugs. I was just wondering if anyone else is dealing with this or has heard similar things. I know what I need to do about the bed bugs, but I am just exhausted. Like I can’t be the only one. And I don’t have a ton of options cause money is chronically tight and my lease isn’t up until August… SOS !!!

Update #26 7pm Jan 7 An Alberta Emergency Alert has been issued. The City of Calgary has issued a Water Supply alert. A feeder main break along 16 Avenue Northwest has impacted the city’s water supply. Supply levels remain in a critical state, affecting the city’s ability to provide water to communities and ensure adequate water is available for firefighting. Area: This alert is in effect for all communities of Calgary’s water supply, including Airdrie, Strathmore, Tsuu T’ina Nation and Chestermere. Affected areas (1): Calgary Action to take: All residents and businesses must conserve water Reduce indoor water consumption as much as possible Limit showers and flushing toilets Only do full loads in the dishwasher and washing machine Monitor local media or Calgary.ca/watermainbreak for updates Update #25 3:30pm Jan 7 The City of Calgary remains in a highly vulnerable position as continued high water use puts the community at real risk should an emergency arise. “Calgary’s water system continues to face strain, and while we’ve seen encouraging signs of reduced consumption, we are still operating with very limited capacity to respond to any unexpected events,” says Calgary Emergency Management Agency Chief Susan Henry. “We are asking Calgarians and our regional partners to stay vigilant and keep lowering water use wherever possible.” On Tuesday, Jan. 6, Calgarians used 511 million litres (ML) of water, above the target zone of 485 ML. “We recognize this ongoing situation is challenging, and we appreciate the efforts people have already made. We need everyone to continue finding ways to reduce water usage so we can protect the system and maintain essential services.” The mandatory Stage 4 water restrictions remain in place as crews continue to work around the clock on the South Bearspaw feeder main break near 16 Avenue N.W. east of Sarcee Trail. We are calling on all residents, businesses and regional partners to continue to take urgent action to reduce water consumption while this important repair work is ongoing. If everyone saved just 25-30 litres of water a day we'd be within the safe zone for water usage across our city (485 ML). That's the equivalent of one and a half water cooler jugs. Saving this much water is simple: * Taking a three-minute shower instead of five saves 16 L (2 minutes × 8 L/min) * Skipping 2 toilet flushes → saves 12 L City recreation centres are doing their part to help Calgary conserve water. Steam rooms are closed, and wave pool and water slide hours have been adjusted to reduce water use. These temporary changes aim to lower water use, showing that even small steps in community spaces can make a big difference. CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS & TEMPORARY WATER OUTAGE Crews have installed the new pipe sections and welding is taking place. Inspections continue in the feeder main and are expecting to be completed early Thursday, and the return to service for those 30 homes and Shane Homes West Soccer Dome. The next steps for the repair include inspecting the welds and installing corrosion protection along the new section of pipe, followed by backfilling. ROADS AND MOBILITY Reminder that a single eastbound lane on 16 Avenue N.W. east of Sarcee Trail N.W. has reopened. Access to eastbound 16 Avenue N.W. from Sarcee Trail has also reopened. Westbound traffic along 16 Avenue N.W. between 49 Street and Sarcee Trail N.W. remains closed. Speed reductions are in place throughout the construction area. More updates will be shared as information becomes available. Update 2pm Jan 7 The Bearspaw Feeder Main Independent review is complete. It examined what happened during the 2024 incident, why it happened and what changes are needed to prevent this type of incident from re-occurring. I thank Panel Chair Siegfried W. Kiefer for his leadership, and panelists Michael J. Crothers, Gordon M. Engbloom, Nancy F. Foster, Bob B. Kerr, and Stephen Stanley for bringing deep expertise and independence to this work. I also thank the Advisory Group — Dawn Farrell, Wayne Stensby, and Dr. Edward McCauley — for their support throughout this process. Each brought decades of experience in critical infrastructure, utilities, risk management, and engineering to this work. The swift public release of this work reflects our clear commitment to accountability, learning, and strengthening the delivery, and confidence in, Calgary’s essential water systems. On Wednesday, Council and Calgarians will hear directly from the Panel. We will take the findings seriously and move swiftly informed by the facts — the good, the bad, and the hard lessons — to strengthen Calgary’s critical water infrastructure and ensure our city is prepared for the future.
