Have attached a pic (I hope).

I have never clothes shopped at Zellers, Walmart or Sears, so can't comment on their quality, but I did buy my little boy and myself Snowboots from Zellers and they have been great.

Re: Hi I'm New!
This thread makes for very interesting reading, we are only at the stage of collecting information to put our application in so we have years to wait yet (unless hubby gets a job that is). We've already done tonnes of research on different areas, Alberta seems to be the place for us, Edmonton in particular. You all seem to be happy living there so it just confirms our thinking really!
