Hi. Good luck with your move to Lloydminster. I was there some years ago ( just passing through ) but I don't remember much about it though. All I seem to recall is that it's on the main drag from Saskatoon to Edmonton. Just interested in the user name, is there an IOM connection there? TTFN!

That's cool! Its a small world! I lived in Douglas in the 1970's. My Parents used to have a guest house there. You are probably too young to remember it, but I'll never forget the summer of '76 - what a belter! Good luck with your info quest & move!

Re: Living in Lloydminster
From what I understand Lloydminster is split across AB and SK, so you may want to consider the impact of provincial taxes on where you choose to live.

Re: Living in Lloydminster
I'd be interested (very actually) to hear what there actually is to do in Lloyd. As many know my hubby has a place up there (or should I say had a place up there til last month before deciding it would be cheaper to take the trailer up there rather than renting) for work. And the few times i've visited I fail to see what can attract a family to this area

Re: Living in Lloydminster
If you can live on the Alberta side as Alberta is easier to spell than Saskatchewan but harder to draw the province outline on a map.
