Straight outta Montreal and into the wild (but friendly) West—please give a warm, parka-clad welcome to Diana and Santiago!


You’ve traded poutine for pierogies, bagels for beef, and possibly added “eh?” to the end of every sentence. But don't worry—here in Edmonton, we’ve got sunshine in the summer, snow in the fall, snow in the winter... and, well, sometimes snow in the spring too.

Your adventure has just begun:

Learn how to pronounce “Whyte Ave” without hesitation

Pretend you know how to drive on icy roads like a pro

And say “It’s not that cold” when it’s -30°C (a true rite of passage)
Big thank you to Niken and Peter for the amazing referral—your kindness and connections are what make this community so awesome.

We’re so glad you’re here! Let the good times (and patio season) roll!

Let’s be honest… those garbage and recycling bins out front are not doing our curb appeal any favours.
But unless they magically wheel themselves to the side, we’re stuck with 'em... right?
Well—plot twist—NO! A prospective buyer was thinking of pouring cement along the side of the house just for the bins (



), but I found a simpler (and way cheaper!) fix:

Cement stepping plates!
Super affordable, easy to lay down, and perfect for tucking your bins away neatly on the side. Your front yard gets its good looks back, and your wallet stays happy.

Bonus: No more bin ballet on garbage day.
Here’s how it looks at my place!
