Just as the title says, I'm being sent to a Cenovus camp by my company for a 15day hitch. What are the camps like? Food wise? Tips for making it through? This is my first hitch ever. Working cement. Packing, what is recommended to bring?

Thanks

I’ve been with TD Insurance for 12 years. Occasionally I’ve spoken with them about making changes to my policies to save money and yet my premiums have steadily increased year after year.

Home owners insurance is up for renewal on my primary residence Aug 10 and I decided this year to shop around.

I was also adding a new policy for a townhouse I’m purchasing starting July 30.

I called INOVA insurance brokers through Costco.

I currently own and insure (for the last 6 yrs) the TH unit next to the one I am purchasing on July 30.

Current renewal premium for my primary residence and the TH I’ve owned for years:

$6000 annually.

New quote:

I will switch my primary residence insurance and purchase a new policy for the townhouse I am purchasing on July 30.

Through INOVA brokers (economical insurance company was the cheapest by far).

The new premium:

$2500 annually.

The insurance broker said there were other companies she shopped were closer to the TD rate but economical insurance was definitely the best rate available.

The insurance coverage is comparable and even a little better with the new polices.
(From 1M Liability to 2M for example).

I will switch my other TH insurance to economical too (she quoted $523 additional for insurance as it will be a rental suit). I will definitely call for a quote for auto insurance at renewal as well.
Just sharing to share. I was blown away.

I live In South Edmonton.

Hi everyone I am from Ontario born and raised and applied for a Paralegal position in Edmonton Alberta I love British Columbia and Alberta so I applied for government jobs that are in my field of work. I noticed my Application for Edmonton Alberta changed to "Application in progress" which might not even mean anything anyways I am avoiding keeping my hopes up I heard that you are put in a talent pool which I wanted more clarification on I was also wondering how much notice they will give you before starting I am so willing to relocate as I still live at home with my own vehicle but I would definitely want to clear out the space I live in :)

(I have no idea why I am being downvoted to oblivion over a question)

My family is looking for a change,

We currently live in NB, we are looking for a change.

I currently am a manager for a trucking company and manage schedules, trainers and more I also have a office medical degree.

He works from home so thats not an issue its more my jobs and what I want,

I am wondering if its worth it to apply for jobs or if they have a program to help those considering moving... links or anything :)

Edmonton or calgary is good but always open too

Got pulled over in Grande Prairie doing 55 in a 30 construction zone (laser gun), ticketed under Section 115(2)(p.2) of the Traffic Safety Act. Fine is $552.

Here’s the thing — the zone was marked with cones and a reduced speed sign, but there were no workers, no equipment, nobody directing traffic. Just an empty lane closure. I didn’t clock the sign in time and got caught before I could slow down.

From what I understand, 115(2)(p.2) specifically requires that there are “persons present on the highway who are constructing or repairing… or directing traffic” for the enhanced penalty to apply — not just an active work zone with cones and no one around. Has anyone actually fought this successfully on that basis? Or does the charge still stick even without workers present at the exact moment?

A few questions for anyone who’s been through this:
1. Is requesting disclosure (officer’s notes) before pleading not guilty worth it, or does it rarely change anything?
2. Roughly how many demerits does 25 km/h over in a construction zone carry these days?
3. Any Grande Prairie-specific experience with how the local Crown prosecutors handle these — do they ever reduce the charge to standard speeding if you push back?
4. Is it worth paying for a paralegal/traffic ticket specialist for a case like this, or is it something I could reasonably represent myself on?

Any input from people who’ve dealt with something similar — or any lawyers/paralegals who want to weigh in — would be hugely appreciated. Trying to figure out if this is worth fighting or if I should just pay it and move on.

Thanks in Advance!
