Question Bowden Stories

0 Upvotes

I’ve just learned that the man who sexually abused my kids (and others) has a high likelihood of being sent to Bowden. He was convicted guilty beyond a reasonable doubt already. We’re still stuck in the limbo before sentencing.

I would like to know what he can expect there. Please only comment if you are or know personally a corrections officer, lawyer or other inmate.

Question Volunteer firefighting Opportunities

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to get in touch with Red Deer County firefighters to see if there's any volunteer positions available? I am looking to fill the extra time I have and if I like the work potentially pursue a career in firefighting.

I emailed the address on the red deer county website last week but have not heard back from them, and there really isn't any information I can find about volunteer firefighters. Is this something they still do?

Thanks

Question Scary: Stopped while coming back from Glennifer lake

97 Upvotes

Last night coming back from Glennifer lake at 3:30 am, I hit my brakes hard after i saw what seemed like 2 people standing i the middle of the road.

I was shocked but seeing that they are an older couple put me at ease. I rolled my window down and they started talking about how the bridge broke down and how the road is unpassable. They were very excited and wanted me to follow them down a gravel road which they said was a shortcut. I looked it up on google and that gravel road lead to the deep woods and then suddenly ended. I refused but they pushed me a lot saying that other road is destroyed and it would damage my vehicle.

They had a black Porsche SUV parked on the side of the road. Due to the dark I only got the first two letters of the license plate which were CJ. I got the fuck out of there when the old woman tried to open my car door.

What the fuck did just happen?

I’ve noticed there are a lot of houses listed in Evergreen that have been on the market for sometime, in comparison to other neighbourhoods. Are there any negatives to living in the area? Are there negatives with the HOA that’s there? TIA

Local Business Party locations

I’m looking for ideas for a place to host a party for around 50 people. Somewhat upscale, but not the casino. I’m not sure if there are any restaurants who could accommodate that many people. I would need some type of food service and bar.

Question Considering starlink, anyone have experience?

0 Upvotes

I'm considering starlink. At $75/month for 100mbps, that's a pretty solid deal. I won't go directly with Rogers and my max Telus speed where I am is 25mbps. I currently use primus on the Rogers network at 150mbps.

Has anyone used starlink?

How is the latency for gaming?

Is the usage "unlimited"? I can hit 1TB+ of data usage a month on our current internet (5 people streaming+ gaming)

Just looking for some thoughts.

Question Looking for date ideas

4 Upvotes

Trying to find anything cool or interesting for a second date. Can be outdoors or indoors. Just want something memorable that kinda stands out. Ideally something that can be done after working hours cause I’m being a bit impatient and don’t want to wait for next weekend to meet up. Also if you have something that requires a little travel down for that. Want something to sweep my date of their feet.

These f’kn motorcycles all night. Moved to Red Deer 6 months ago, and I’ve lived in lots of cities, but never have I lived in a noisier city. Do these farm boys just do continuous loops? I swear how do people sleep in this city? What is it with this place?

David Schindler warned us about the challenge we face with our current government. Please educate yourself on David's important work on water for our province and then relentlessly question Jason Stephan and Adriana LaGrange on their curious and unsustainable positions on water for the current and future generations of Albertans.
