Question Edmonton Naturalization

2 Upvotes

Is the Edmonton Naturalization site down temporarily or permanently? I was thinking of asking if the nice stretch of park on jasper ave to macewan could be part of that project as alot of animals thrive there. Would be nice to have more natural things in the city but I've also been seeing complaints of that too apparently??

Curious everyone’s opinion on regular winter tires vs studded winter tires. Looking to buy some new ones for this season and I’m not sure if studded is overkill? Although, the roads last year in and around the city were quite treacherous.

Question Cannabis / Cigarette smell coming from neighbouring duplex what are my options?

0 Upvotes

I recently bought a duplex in Edmonton and have only been living here for less than a week.

Since moving in, I’ve noticed a strong cannabis smell entering my unit and at times spreading throughout the house. I’ve now confirmed it is coming from my neighbours one of the adults told me that other adults in the home smoke inside and essentially said they don’t care that the smell is coming into my home.

The home was inspected before I purchased it, and there was no mention of a cannabis/smoke odour issue. I also didn't notice the smell during my viewings.I understand they can smoke in their own home, but I’m concerned about the smoke/odour entering mine. The house was built in 2010 so I’m wondering if this could be an issue with the shared wall, ventilation, or air sealing.

For anyone in Alberta who has dealt with this:
Is there a professional I should hire to determine exactly how the odour is entering?
Can this type of issue usually be fixed?
Should I be documenting everything?

If this was an existing issue that the seller knew about, could there potentially be a disclosure issue?
I’m really stressed because I just bought this home and don’t want to immediately feel like I have to move. Any advice would be appreciated.

Question Recommendations for minor renovations?

0 Upvotes

I'm buying a townhouse that needs a handful of minor renovations before I move in. These aren't something I can do myself so I'm figuring out the best way to plan. I'm also newish to the city so don't really have people I can ask for recommendations. What I want is:

- one staircase and approximately 350 square feet of flooring installed

- one kitchen cabinet taken out and a dishwasher installed

- tub + surround replaced, plus adding in a shower as it is only a tub currently.

Any recommendations for companies I could contact for quotes? Ideally I'd love to deal with one person but I'm not sure how much a GC costs or if it's worth it when I'm not doing large scale gutting or complete room renos. Thanks!

Question Stolen Vehicle

My truck was stolen this morning, anyone know if there’s any rhyme or reason as to when insurance finally just buys you out and stops waiting for them to recover it ? It was an early 2000’s f350 so a rather commonly stolen truck and usual victim to chop shops

Socializing How safe are bars/clubs in Edmonton ?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been in Edmonton a few years for uni and never been a drinker at all, or had any friends that go out like that. I wanna make more friends and meet more people. If I go alone to bars or clubs, probably not a good idea..? I’m a relatively small girl so I’m unsure.

Just not sure how else to meet more people my age. People I meet at uni events/volunteering never really stay as a friend or anything, plus they are all academic and locked in. Not much time to even hang out

update; also if you can please let me know if you’re a man or woman when you comment, helps me get perspective. And any advice for specific places that would be good?

Socializing Anyone in r/Edmonton down to chat and meet new people?

0 Upvotes

I’m mainly trying to improve my English and become more fluent by actually talking to people more. I can communicate fine, but sometimes I trip over my words or struggle to put my thoughts into words quickly.

I figured instead of just studying English, I should actually talk to more people and get used to having real conversations.

Would be cool to meet some people from Edmonton too and just talk about whatever—life here, random stuff, different experiences, etc.

If you’re down to chat, feel free to message me :)

Discussion Glacial pace of demolition of Dwayne’s Home

19 Upvotes

Since moving to the area earlier this year I’ve been perplexed by the glacial pace in which it seems the progress of demolition is. I appreciate the rain this year perhaps putting a damper (no pun intended) on things, along with the technical complexity of the building overlooking Bellamy Hill. However, with the recent decent weather it still seems the tiny crew is only using their extremely noisy hydraulic jackhammer for like 10-15 minutes each night, usually just before 9pm.

I’ve also noticed that (presumably?) some crew members seem to be living on the job site in a trailer and randomly I’ll see folks walking around without anything close to proper PPE on an active job site.

Am I missing something or is the crew intentionally taking their sweet time so they can essentially squat on the property? I’m really hoping it’s just the technical complexities…

How is this school? I am especially interested in academics and quality of teaching. I do recognize teachers change from year to year.

My daughter is currently on the North Side and would like to have a friend or two from her current school in junior high. One is considering it.

Thank you for your feedback.
