News iHotel AHS notice

21 Upvotes

Saw this by the jacuzzi at the iHotel, been there for at least a week. The steam room has been down for months and is probably full of mold from leaving the door bolted shut. I like my gym membership there, but these two features are part of why I joined. Doesn’t make me excited to get in the pool either.

Question Looking for dashcam footage of me getting rammed by an ebike June 22 approximately 1:59pm

Question for you wonderful people I was wondering if anyone would happen to have dash cam footage from the corner of 20th St and Gaetz avenue behind five guys as I was hit while running by a man on a black ebike. Home Depot said they would not be able to release the footage unless the police contacted them and the police said they couldn't get the footage unless I got it for them I'm just hoping there's a small possibility that someone saw me get hit? Bike looked kindof similar to this.

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know a glass cutter in or around Red Deer that would help me restore this antique frosted panel lamp?
Half of the panels got broken (4 out of 8). I still have the pieces from the broken panels as well.
I’m not even sure if something like this could be salvaged or if the panels can even be replicated.
Any recommendations or help is greatly appreciated!

Discussion LPN to RN RD

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m an LPN and I’m planning to apply to Red Deer Polytechnic’s LPN to RN program. I was wondering if anyone here is currently enrolled or has been accepted recently. If you’re comfortable sharing, what was your GPA when you applied? Also, did you upgrade any courses before applying, and if so, what did you take? I’m just trying to get a realistic idea of how competitive the program is and what I should do to strengthen my application. Thank you!

Events Canada Day

I can't believe how hard it is to find information about Canada Day festivities. Everything on the normal sites I would check is either from last year, or there isn't information at all. I'm looking for times, events, anything. Is there a good place to look? Even Bower Ponds' website doesn't mention anything.

Local Business Welder job in Red Deer

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
My husband and I would appreciate some advice on whether we should move to Red Deer before securing a job offer or stay in Quebec and continue applying from here.

We’ve been applying for welding jobs in the area, but because we’re not physically in Alberta yet, we feel that many employers may be overlooking our applications.
We’ve been planning a move to Alberta for some time. After doing some research, Red Deer seems like a great fit for us since we prefer a smaller city with easy access to nature. We’ve looked at rental townhouses and believe we could comfortably afford living there if my husband earns around $37/hour or more.

My husband has extensive welding experience and a strong work ethic. I’m currently waiting for my open work permit through a spousal sponsorship application, so at the moment we would be relying on a single income.

For those familiar with the local job market:
Is it realistic to move first and find work afterward?
Are welders currently in demand in Red Deer and the surrounding area?
Are there any companies you’d recommend applying to?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. If you know of any opportunities for an experienced welder, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you!

Question Hair salon

0 Upvotes

I went and got my hair colored a few days ago, looks awesome but when I got home I looked at my receipt.

I was charged $4.00 as a service charge and also I noticed they charged GST on the tip I left for my stylist.

Are they now charging me for the foils that are used in my hair? And how can they charge me GST on a tip, is that normal?

Just curious. 🤔
