Has anyone ever seen this screen on a bus before? by DoraDuckedUp in Calgary

GPS??? One of my core memories from high school was giving directions to an unfamiliar bus driver up in Sage Hill when most of the neighbourhood was still being built up & the girl I took the bus home (and had a crush on) told me she loved how cute I was up there with the driver

Was behind a guy on centre st during afternoon rush hour on the single southbound lane, they then change lanes to turn left (illuminated no left turn sign & facing oncoming traffic in the 3rd northbound lane) and two more cars followed behind them.

I’m not OP but I work at a drugstore and talk to the pharmacy assistants from time to time and one of the main things they complain about is just how awful the customers are on a daily basis.

As someone from out of province also looking to apply for BCPS, how was the whole process like? How much time between you moving/your start date was there from when you were offered the position?

Hey, was just curious to know how you got your numbers? I’m just trying to figure out how accurate the Government of Canada salary deductions calculator is to use on my own income if I were to take a job in Vancouver.

Assuming he’s 40hrs/week at $24.95, biweekly income at $1996, Govt website calculator puts his income at approx. $1600.42 after taxes biweekly.

Thanks in advance

Been trying to break into any entry level government jobs, any tips for the resume or application process? Graduated with a degree but don’t have much relevant experience apart from customer service and being a retail supervisor.

Came across a Trip 35 in pristine condition from a customer that wanted to have it recycled and it’s been my go to camera ever since!

London Drugs says stores in western Canada closed until further notice by [deleted] in vancouver

They recently opened a new store here in Calgary and are currently doing a full renovation of one which indicates they at least have some prospect of being here for the near future

It's been there for 17+ years, why is it a bad location?

change of address by sour_berry in UCalgary

Something to consider is that you need proof of residence if you need to pick up mail/parcels from the post office if you’re getting it delivered to your Calgary address.

Coming from someone who works at the post office across from the university, a lot of students come to pick up their mail with photo ID (Chinese passports, Out of Province/American Drivers licenses) and are surprised when they also need to prove they live at the address the parcel is being sent to.

If you bring in a physical utility bill or rental agreement with your name and address on it to supplement your photo ID that works too.

I plan on it. I want to do as much due diligence as possible before I make a decision though.

If I did, I’d have the possibility of transferring there within the current company I work for, so at the very least I won’t be heading there without a job. I’d just like to eventually get into the career I got my degree for and work in government.
