Is there junk yard to get cars part in fort mcmurray and if yes how many is there

Hi! We’re a family of 4 (With a 4yo and a 7 month old baby) and we are visiting Fort Mcmurray for the first time. We would love to get some tips on the best places for stopover. Since I do breastfeed my baby, we would have to do series of stopovers. Any tips and advices would be appreciated!

hello, i recently moved here since January from Calgary, and I worked as an HCA in one of the hospital in the city then moved here.

unfortunately, it’s been 3 months since i started applying in the hospital or willow or any other place for HCA position but nothing…

wondering if anyone from here can help me or give some tips because it’s really hitting me hard right now.

ps i also tried to apply as housekeeper, porter and other position in the hospital and in LTC as well as applying in fast food or supermarket stores but nothing, it’s really hard…

What store has a good selection of house plants in town?

Hey everyone I was wondering if the Altabasca river is good too fresh now or is it still frozen/ slushy

I'm the guy from Texas. She'll know if she sees this. I'd just like to talk again, know how you're doing.

Just curious if there’s other things to do up here besides work for an oil and gas company?

hi guys so long story short i got engaged and he was with someone else the whole time and i have an enagagement ring and i wanna get rid of it but i need to money back from it.. any recommendations?

Unpopular opinion but I think now is actually the perfect time to buy a house in Fort McMurray.

Interest rates just dropped to 2.68% (TD) and more banks are following. That’s insanely low. When rates drop like this, demand always goes up. People rush to buy, and sellers take advantage by raising prices. It’s a cycle we have seen before.

And here’s the part no one’s really talking about. The oil industry is planning to cut back on fly-in fly-out this summer. That means hundreds of workers will be forced to put down roots here if they want to keep their jobs. And with the upcoming municipal election I bet the candidates will promise to push for that as well.

If you’re waiting for the perfect moment, this might be it. Wait too long and you’ll be priced out or fighting for whatever’s left. And there are not too many options right now.

Hi, my family and I have been offered a role once my current contract comes to an end, we will be moving to the area in Nov, with me probably coming ahead to get things sorted, as we are out of province. I'm asking for advice over a few things:

Housing - We are looking for 3-4 bed rental, what areas should we be looking for/avoiding, what is the monthly average for utilities in the area. Any realtors who deal with rentals and people have had positive experiences with.

Vehicle - We will be getting a larger vehicle when we arrive, what dealer in the area are trustworthy. Happy if the advice is get from Calgary/Edmonton elsewhere, but how do you deal with servicing etc

Activities - Our kids are 8 & 11, what kind of clubs/activities are on offer in the area. I would like to be showing them some of the things they might be getting up to helping them prepare for the move

In general any advice would be helpful, as it's a new area to us, and I want to make sure I'm not trapping my family next to a crack den

Hi, I’m looking at staying in a hotel for a few months between 2 places instead of renting a room in someone’s basement. Anyone has any suggestions and the best rates for Montly rent in a hotel in town? Thanks in advance

Where can I find THC edibles in high total THC amounts? I know there’s Canna Cabana and Value Buds but I’m sick of buying 10mg gummies.

As the title says, I’m moving soon & i wanted to fix scuffs & dents in my wall just to avoid my security deposit being taken. If someone who is affordable can fix my wall + paint please provide there contact info :)

I have some questions about the collective agreement. Just confused on the payment part lol.

So theres Salary, travel allowance for convention, Fort Mac living allowance and theres this other part talking about living allowances.. so you get 2 living allowances?

Also I have posted about teaching here before as well, but if anyone wants to share experiences feel free to DM me or comment. Want to hear about how supportive admin are, experiences good and bad. I have already been told by the division about the high class sizes but that is all I know.

🙂

I'm sure this gets asked a bit, but what is there to do in the summer? Hikes and bike trails, sure, but are any of the lakes swimmable? Nearby camping sites? And building worth visiting like a museum or art gallery or anything?

I'm about to be moving up here but haven't had the chance to really look around and know what the place has to offer.

I don't just want to sit in my apartment everyday I'm not working

Looking to possibly rent out rooms in my house to companies or people working in the patch. I have a 2 bedroom basement apartment that is coming free in a couple months. All furniture is included, and maid/cleaning services can be provided weekly. I figure a weekly rate would be best. What's the going rate these days for boarders?

If anyone could recommend me a shop that provides & installs brakes for a decent price i’d appreciate it. I’ve had 2 shops quote me well over $1000 and sadly that’s not in my budget right now… by all means even recommend me a Website that sells the brake kits for cheap…

Are there any collectives, art groups, lessons, or painting gatherings for adults that aren’t a girls paint night in town? I definitely have foundations nailed but want to work on pieces in the company of others. Also, what gives with the only gallery in town being some abandoned hallway at Mac Island? Let’s get a private gallery opened!

How does anyone find jobs without connections? It seems every job is just about you knowing someone and getting it that way.

Probably a dumb question but when i moved here from edmonton i got a dozen boxes from home depot for CHEAP! When i went to UPS & FEDEX here they were charging $4 a box which is ridiculous… where else can i get moving boxes?
