where is sask do you live maria?
Do be sure and take some proof of US citizenship.....such as a voter's id card or a birth certificate. A driver's license is NOT proof of citizenship!
Thunder Bay might be a little out of the way for you to go, I'm having problems remembering where in Ontario it is but I know it's one of the more out of the way cities.
West Ed's okay considering it's in Edmonton and all :D ;) It'd be even better if it was in Calgary. :D
Saskatchewan's a beautiful province, you just have to like wide open spaces. I love going back to visit--I'm leaving on July 19 for a trip to Sask to see my family. When I first moved to a mountain region, I felt incredibly claustraphobic. I still like a horizon that isn't right in front of my face!Quote:

Hey Cali, I'm not sure where in Sask you live, but it never gets around 40 here! Never has. Usually its about 30, at the most. I like 25 or so.
Last summer when I was in Southern Saskatchewan, it was close to 40 the entire week. This Northerner almost melted!:eek:
I live near Yorkton. :eek: I'm surprised it got to be 40! I swear, where we are, its HOT if it gets to 30. Usually we get a couple 31-32 days but most of our summers (usually) is...oh say 20+
ok lol I live in Regina, 40's are common in the middle of July over here lol we get boiling hot and feezing cold I believe we got -55 this past winter, but that was unusualy cold lol but the wheather has ben so cold latly that we had a big frost like 2-3 weeks ago it was so cold! this summer 21 is hot lol
Yep, many times :)
I usually go up to British Columbia at least a few times a year (it's only a 2 hour drive from where I live)
lol I live in Canada (Ottawa) Canada! I love it here lol so of course I have been to canada;):D
I 've been to Windsor to gamble, Toronto and Niagra Falls on my senior class trip and to Avon n the Lake to see some plays when I was in high school.
So tell me more.......
What do we need to take clothing-wise, etc.
I looked up mapquest.com & I see it'll take about 13 hours for us to get there. AGH what a drive, don't know if I can do it.
I'm wearing shorts, right now it's about 65 degrees here.
I didn't know we needed to bring a birth certificate....I thought a driver's license was sufficient. Glad to know that.
Let me know next time you are up. Maybe we could get together for coffee or lunch or something. :) I'm in New Westminster.Quote:

I'm going there in a couple of weeks...I've never been there before.
We're going to Calgary. :) I was told that you need to have a birth certificate. I'm also bringing Nebo so I'm getting his updated vaccinations before we go and also a health certificate just in case.
I think for $$ we're just going to use VISA cards (they are accepted most anywhere, right?) I'm going to see if I can get some USD exchanged to CAD somewhere too just in case.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :DQuote:

As for what to wear and bring to be honest it all depends on what part of the country you are going to. For example the weather in the Southern Alberta (Calgary, where I am) can vary vastly from the weather in Northern Alberta. I would recommend that you check with Enviroment Canada or someother online weather service and see what the weather is currently like where you are going and what it's going to be like in a few days. For the most part though the majority of the country is in the high teens to early 20's at the moment I believe (celcius)
I went to Canada once, when I was in college. I think we crossed the border at Detroit, Michigan, and drove to Niagra Falls. It was sort of just like the USA. :)
