Hi, me and my partner are planning a visit to Alberta in July. We are planning to visit various places with a view to eventually settling down once we receive our residency visa. The places we are going to visit are Calgary, Edmonton and Red Deer. We feel we have sufficient info on Edmonton and Calgary but know very little about Red Deer. Could anyone give us their views on Red Deer and its suitability as a place to emigrate to, in terms of employment, schools, crime rates etc?

Many thanks.

Hi giggimickey
Piff Poff and myself both live in Red Deer and love it to bits! If you want to PM me I'll give you all the info you need.
Regards,
Jaycee

Yeah But come on JC you are a country listening Redneck and Piff Poff is mascot for the local Hells Angels Chapter...........

Seriously The hospital looks nice and they have Timmies so what more can anyone want from a city.
Oh and its one of the most scenice drives to the Mountains in the whole of Canada!!!!

PMSL!! If that's how I come across then bring it on - yee-haw!....one of my fave trax right now is Gretchen Wilson's Redneck Woman
Jaycee from Red Deer (the centre of the universe LOL LOL )

Past Rocky Mountain House? ... We haven't been that way yet.

Note to self: Put it on the list!

As JC said WE LOVE RED DEER!!! You can PM me too for my thoughts. Well basically the other morning I woke up, loked out of the window at the blue skies and announce 'Another Day in PARADISE' Then got organised for work. OK, not everyones idea of paradise but it sure does beat living and working in UK!

AAHH Butch, still can't decide wether to get me a bike here, those trucks look a bit big Hubby keeps announcing the deals out of the paper and has even taken me to the shops....Daughter is nagging me to get one too......I just don't know Oh and on the hospital front - Hubby had emergency surgery in July (i'd only been here 4 weeks, didn't even know where it was ) The service was A1.

Come on Piff get ya self one'a them Hogs

When the weather is like this the roads are a'calling

Hiya!

What's the job market like in Red Deer??

When can you start?

Seriousley there are more jobs than people, everywhere is desperate for staff. I work in HR at Sears, if someone comes in for a application, we get them to fill it in, interview them and get them started.....before they go somewhere else and they do the same

Hi, and welcome

If you're coming to Calgary between 7th and 16th July, I hope you have your accomodation sorted - I doubt you'll be able to find anywhere otherwise.

I hear the Blackfoot are taking guests.

LOL - Mind you; I could be too, the way things are going at the mo.

What in those little white tents near your house?
