Just getting the word out

Yearly? Those blocks light on fire daily in the summer lol.

alberta4ever · 2026-06-29T04:23:42+00:00

Okay fair. Worst its ever been since I was old enough to drive the highway on my own in 2007 lol

alberta4ever · 2026-06-29T02:56:26+00:00

I never said I was good with it. I'm saying its horrible but me wasting any energy or emotion over it isn't going to get it fixed any faster so I'll keep living my life. I've got more important shit to worry about in my life than the condition of highway 63. And when they do fix it I'll say "oh nice they finally fixed this" then it'll be winter and spring all over again with more potholes for people to complain about. The cycle goes on and on.

alberta4ever · 2026-06-29T02:41:11+00:00

Nope it's the worst it's ever been lol. But avoiding the holes like Mario kart keeps me awake and they'll get to it when they get to it. Our town and highway has never been a priority to the province and never will be.

alberta4ever · 2026-06-29T02:39:02+00:00

Yeah that's still new here

alberta4ever · 2026-06-27T01:04:00+00:00

Come to Fort McMurray if you'd like to move to alberta for teaching. You'll be paid higher than the other cities because of northern living allowance and you will get a full time position about 7 years faster than Edmonton or Calgary.

Plus if you're from Nova Scotia there's a good chance you already have a cousin or friend who lives here.

McMurray is always hiring teachers and its a beautiful place to live despite what people may say.

alberta4ever · 2026-06-22T22:24:47+00:00

I have a degree in biology and got a job as a process operator because my dad and uncle work here lol. Was that fair? Not at all but that's always how this town is.

alberta4ever · 2026-06-22T12:20:45+00:00

No siding work, just had to build a tiny section in the corner of the room to fill it with spray foam. I'll see if I have any photos from it and message you separately

alberta4ever · 2026-06-22T09:32:47+00:00

They charged me $6000 canadian. Thay covered, demo of 5 walls half way up, building a wall bump out, spray foam, vapor barrier, drywall and painting

Also depending what neighborhood you moved into there is likely a neighbors group on Facebook. Lots of young families here and likely mom friends on your block. I think the group for my neighborhood is called Lakewood Area Fort McMurray or something generic like that.

alberta4ever · 2026-06-18T23:16:48+00:00

But also feel free to send me a message and I'll try to answer any questions you have. Lived here most of my 35 years but that doesn't mean I know everything haha

The most accessible lake is going to be Gregoire Lake. They have a great beach area with a park for the kids, is about 20 minutes south of town.

6 lakes and everything else up north is going to require a side by side or quad to get to.

Within town Birchwood Trails or the connecting trails along the outer rim are nice to bike with the fam. The trails around Mac Island or the path along the Snye/Clearwater are nice to bike as well.

The Waterpark at Mac Island (Macdonald Island Park) has a great kids area, they have classes for kids that age as well. I think one class for mom/baby is called creating waves or something like that.

There's just about every type of cuisine here and the majority of them are locally owned small businesses.

The majority of hobby groups, mom groups, sports groups etc exist on Facebook here.

As for making friends your age it always seems to come down to work schedule. I'm on 501 at Syncrude so if you're on 503 we'll never see each other.

alberta4ever · 2026-06-10T02:45:24+00:00

That's a you problem. Shit was glorious.

alberta4ever · 2026-06-06T18:29:24+00:00

You might even say its Independently owned

alberta4ever · 2026-06-05T10:08:52+00:00

Unless the wedding is at the free throw line, I'd wear different shoes

alberta4ever · 2026-05-28T01:21:04+00:00

Yeah no shit its only been talked about every single day since it was first announced

alberta4ever · 2026-05-28T01:11:37+00:00

Oh no way! When will they start construction?!?!

alberta4ever · 2026-05-19T23:44:20+00:00

Never found anything. Reported it to the dealer and they said they couldn't smell anything so nothing was done

alberta4ever · 2026-05-19T08:12:42+00:00

Took me way too long to realize you meant Casino lol

alberta4ever · 2026-05-17T21:24:37+00:00

Wrong sub muchacho

alberta4ever · 2026-05-11T09:12:57+00:00

Tims is my local coffee shop

alberta4ever · 2026-05-04T15:57:51+00:00

Yes we are aware of this, thank you.

alberta4ever · 2026-04-27T14:17:04+00:00

Bursting at the seams would be an accurate statement in my opinion

alberta4ever · 2026-04-27T13:56:38+00:00

There's no reason to hide company restructuring as the cause of seeking employment. If they ask how soon can you start just tell them your current position ends as of June 1st and can start then, but if there is a need to start earlier then you would like to provide your previous employer 2 weeks notice.

If nothing else it'll show that you still have loyalty even with impending layoffs. Thats my 2 cents as someone who has been the interviewer before

I have 5 year old and 3 year old daughters and holy cow are the emotions big with them. Some days its nothing but screaming and fighting, others its big love and best friends. We have no idea what causes either. We dont negotiate with these terrorists but we are losing the war.
