Hi - I found this forum most interesting since my husband is taking a 6 month contract starting next week. He found a 2 br condo in Point Mckay Dr. NW and is working on 5th Ave. Hopefully there's a bus he can take! My teenagers are finishing up high school, so does anyone have any good ideas for nice neighbourhoods that have decent high schools in it, so that they aren't bussed out? I also teach computer courses and genealogy to adults/seniors and if there are any communities more "senior" oriented, I'd like to know that so that I can apply. On another note - my husband is claiming that there aren't any lakes to camp by or swim in! Now, I know that there are beautiful mountains, and lovely Lake Louise - but is he right?
