This is my first time ever having a job (like ever), so if anyone has experienced something similar, please offer some advice, I also don't know what to wear or what to bring (but I do know that I should bring my booklet and papers, but that's about it). I'm just pretty nervous about the whole thing too.

hey guys, im looking at a 2008 RAV4 that spent most of its life in vancouver, BC. it was then brought over in 2024 to AB, it is AB registered. i know people say stay away from ontario cars cause they can be filled with rust, but was just wondering if there's anything like that with BC vehicles? googled it and couldn't really find much, so just wondering if i am missing something, thanks!

Wondering if anyone has experience in the last few months with the drivers road test and cracked windshield.

On the website, in the rules stating what is acceptable, it’s within a certain size that is allowed, but I’ve also heard (and read in years older posts) that it’s either up to the instructor who can decide a small crack (within the allowed limits) isn’t allowed, or that they allow for cracks along the entire windshield, but it all depends on where it is and whether it obscures view.

I have had my learners for way too long, and have been trying to get more practice the last few years to do my road test.

Unfortunately, every person I know who is willing to help me (borrowing their car) has a cracked windshield but one.

I am also wondering, if borrowing someone’s car, what the rules are for that, and how you present the information if you are not on, or going to be on their insurance (because you are only borrowing the car for the test)

It’s going to be one of the most prolific 48 hours in Albertan/Canadian politics ever. Now more than ever bots and trolls will be on this sub trying to divide and tear down.

This sub leans left naturally but you will see divisive/inflsmatory comments from both sides of the spectrum. They’re meant to tear at the fabric of our conversation and polarize/radicalize.

Remember that outside the internet bubble people are generally good and well meaning. Just trying to take it day by day and make a life for themselves.

IRL I interact with kind benevolent conservative’s and caring pragmatic liberals on a daily basis. I’m
sure many of you do. Also..! Remember to vote!

It seems there doesn't seem to be any local communities dedicated to watches, I've seen watch groups pop up in la, toronto and cities in australia but have yet to ever see anything in Alberta but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

With the ongoing event at CFB Wainwright, I thought it prudent to remind everyone to donate blood if they are able to. Any mass casualty event will deplete current supplies, and it takes time for blood to go into circulation.

Burn victims may require blood transfusions especially if their burns are severe or they require surgery/skin grafting. Burns damage both blood vessels and tissue leading to blood loss, and additional blood can also help with anemia and wound healing.

I've booked an appointment online already, super easy, and it’s a very simple process to donate. This is an opportunity to support the many Canadians in our military, and while it may seem small, there is strength in numbers. Together it is an action we can collectively take to have a positive impact on those who are currently experiencing one of the worst moments of their lives.

Please if you can, consider donating this week. My heart goes out to anyone affected

Hi folks,

The Varsity soccer league in Alberta, now it its 3rd season, started this weekend for U18 players. It has Edmonton and Red Deer teams. Like APDL it plays 11v11 and starts outdoor in October, moving indoors to play at Red Deer Dome and UofA Foote Field until March. Many teams feature former APDL players and the level of play is top notch.

(Some aged out..some left for this league).

I don't notice any Calgary teams joining. Anyone know if Calgary clubs will eventually join? Its a great option for U17/U18 players, male and female, instead of moving to 7x7 or 9v9 with small nets, and to avoid the high fees of APDL but get better soccer.

Especially for U17 players, playing against slightly older players helps you develop. I jeard some Varsity players from last year moved to InterToronto
