salford: It depends on where one buys winter gear from. Mountain Warehouse is a UK brand that sells winter gear well suited for Canadian winters, their Mountainlife Extreme line of apparels can be used in subzero temperatures here. They are just as good, if not better, than the likes of North Face, etc. I have several of their jackets and have used them comfortably for outdoor winter activities and sports. 11 Likes 5 Shares |

michael1: Congrats man!!! Let this not pass me by. To corroborate this testimony, my wife also travelled in recently at 36 weeks plus few days to 37weeks and delivered our baby in Canada, although she didn’t get Alberta Health card immediately, she was only provided with her healthcare number at the Registry; which she used to visit hospitals. Mother and child are also fine. Howbeit, we’re still expecting our PR cards. 20 Likes |

Guitarlife:No. I once had flu back in the UK. I initially thought it was common cold(similar symptoms). It got to a point that I felt like a thousand needles were pushed into my nose and throat. I quickly left work when I could not bear the pain and accompanying fever. I thought i was going to die. I threw up all self- medications I ingested. My friends immediately checked me into an hospital where I spent the next 3 days being attended to by nurses and doctors. I was administered a special medication which was not sold at pharmacies for those 3 days. Moving on, I don't joke with flu shot for myself and family. Flu kills people here especially older and younger ones. Not saying anyone is going to catch the flu, but it's free to get a flu shot...Better to be safe. https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/health/flu-has-caused-82-deaths-in-canada-but-it-s-not-too-late-to-get-the-shot-doctors-1.3766999 14 Likes 1 Share |

sentra05:Hi.. Its not a bad idea. But do your research on Supply chain mgt and the various aspects to it, so that when you start the program you have something in mind.. that may also change through the course of the program but atleast you can answer some questions for yourself and stay motivated. I am going to start the same course in January, I attended a symposium at the school organized by the department, and there were several industry reps in attendance. I left the Symposium feeling confident that I didn't make a mistake enrolling for the course. They seem to have good industry connections within K-W-C area. Most of their prev students all had jobs (although they were all from the 3 yr Diploma Program).Project Mgt courses can be taken on the side to add to your skills as the need arises. The students in the diploma course had very good opportunities for their projects and Co-Op, so that encouraged me too. anyhoo.. if you decided to apply..Keep in touch.:-) 1 Like 3 Shares |

salford1: Speaking of flu, it hit me the moment I landed and weighed me down for 5 days. I initially thought it was malaria but I met a Nigerian doctor at church that told me otherwise. Needles to say, NYQuil and DayQuil to the rescue... I will share my full landing experience soon. I’m still not very settled yet. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Expectantbee: Facebook marketplace is quite different from what you are talking about. Facebook marketplace isnt a group, you dont need to apply to join. Its just like kijiji, you can find peoplein your area post on stuff they want to sell or rent. Check your Facebook app, you should have a marketplace icon in your settings. I think it is region dependent and only open to a few countries, so you may need to update your location and also grant location permission to facebook app. i didnt have facebook market place on my profile until a few days after i landed. 6 Likes 1 Share |

eclectic139: Yeah, BTW you guys know winter hasn't officially started right? Technically we are still in fall, winter will start somewhere around December 20th and it will get way colder than it is now in K-W. The really frigid months are January and February and this season I hope it'll be just as severe as the last one ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

Estac: Jackets for N2500? That's like CAD$10. Massive savings for you there. Makes me wonder where the sellers realize their profit especially after you factor in shipping. |
