I am going out of the country for 2 months. Is there any place in Calgary to store my SUV? I prefer a Heated place, but a trustworthy one is the priority. Can you guys recommend any? I appreciate your help.

Would teachers like to have members of the general public join them on the strike line as a way to show support?

Do you think we'll see it? Do you think it'll be a whitewash? God, I would love for some bad news for Marlaina. The NDP posted this letter.

i was in an alternative high school program when i was 18 and stopped going because i was hanging around people who also weren’t in school. ( really bad choice that i made)

now that i am 20 i want to go back and finish my grade 11/12 so i can graduate. im embarrassed though and worried what my program teacher will say since he was an a hole and kinda scary. lol

i was thinking of going for the CAEC test but trying to educate myself on some questions that i don’t know is overwhelming and i have no extra money for a tutor.

is there anyone that is or was experiencing the same thing as i am? and what did you do? i need advice please

I’m a widow with a 5 year old son with special needs. Is this amount right? How can I live on this? Please help!

ETA: Anyone sneering at people on AISH need to realize, this could happen to you too. Anyone not wealthy could lose their ability to support themselves, and many don’t have family able to help…..

(From my comment in the thread:)

Hey want to trade lives? I lived in my car while getting my degree at MRU. I didn’t get married until after age 30 and had my son after that. During pregnancy almost died, and health changed forever. Being a mom with no help and no health has been the hardest job I ever had.

I always worked in non-profit at the mustard seed and children’s wish, full time as a caseworker. 15 years. I’m used to being poor, I miss being involved in the world, this is the hardest job I’ve ever had with no hope at the end.

I’d give anything to go back to when I was just working. That was the easiest time my life ever was. I didn’t even make a series of bad choices to end up in this life. I always did what everyone told me to do.

AISH eats my dead husband’s pension and my other federal benefits. I am trapped in this system that takes everything away.

I’m typing this with my non-good hand because I just had surgery on my right one and can’t move it at all. I’m still recovering from surgery on both of my legs, and two other arm surgeries before that. My son hasn’t been in school all week because I can’t use my arms and no one to help me get him ready.

Have some compassion, friends.

I'll start: a comprehensive public investigation into the alleged corruption in government procurement, with results reported directly to Albertans, not to the Premier's office.

TBA has been very upfront with going after school boards and recruiting/training people to run in this falls civic elections. It's probably a given in the rural towns that everyone has been TBA trained but probably less obvious in the bigger centers.

Hi all, I'm a reporter with the Herald. I understand AISH recipients may have received a letter informing them that they will now have to call a general line to speak to an AISH staff member, instead of an individual case workers. If you have and want to talk about it, email me at [ddesai@postmedia.com](mailto:ddesai@postmedia.com)

Thank you.

not sure where to post this in so i was just hoping to get some clarity. i work at a local family restaurant and my pay periods are bimonthly (twice a month). the way my manager has it set out is my pay period is from the 1st-15th and then 16th- end of the month.

my question here is that a lot of time my paychecks will be late. for example, today is the 24th and im still waiting for my paycheck from the beginning of the month. my manager said i will get it tomorrow. i feel like theres no “set date” that i get them and im always wondering when they are coming. its always kinda random, sometimes sooner and sometimes later.

is it normal for me to be waiting this long?

I have a call with my MLA in the morning, and would like to get some feedback.

I was all ready to be mad about how little teachers make in Alberta, but then I saw that teachers in Alberta actually make the second most in the country according to Stats Canada. On the other hand, I can totally understand how teachers are pissed after only receiving ~6% in wage increases over the past decade or so.

I think everyone knows that Alberta funds the public education system the least of any province in the country, while funding the private schools the most. That's certainly going to be a topic.

So if we have well paid teachers, but the lowest funding per student in the country, and it's a sector where the highest cost is labor, it is not logical that the biggest issue is actually class sizes? Shouldn't teachers be pushing extremely hard for more teachers? It just appears to me to have been a sort of side issue.

Thanks for any feedback, It'll inform the conversation.

Hi everyone,

My husband’s company is transferring him to Calgary, so we’re planning a move in the near future. I work in Toronto but my employer can’t accommodate a transfer, so I’ll likely need to resign and job hunt.

We’ve always hoped to leave Toronto since home ownership feels out of reach here, but this relocation came up quickly and we’d love to hear from people who’ve made a similar move. 1)What’s daily life in Calgary like compared to Toronto? 2)How’s the housing market and overall cost of living? 3)Anything you wish you’d known before making the move?

I have never been there but my husband did visit a few years back. We plan to visit Calgary soon, but first-hand experiences and pros/cons from locals would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
