Hi,

I lived in Alberta for almost 10 years (in a variety of places). Depending on where you are thinking about going I might be able to put you in touch with people that can help you out. I will tell you that housing (even rentals) are pretty scarce in Edmonton or Calgary. I would suggest that you spend some time looking for rentals online before going out there (so you get an idea of the cost, etc).

This website provides a link to the local newspapers and might help out:

Good luck and I would be more than happy to answer your questions if I can.

Cheryl
