Hi Friends,

I am planning to move to Edmonton next month from Vancouver. I don't know anything or anybody in Edmonton. Can somebody give me advice:

1. I need to rent an apartment (prefeably two bedroom), how much it will cost and which location, I should look for? My preference is where there is some market (at least groceries), public transport and good school. Any suggestion about apartments are welcome. My work will be in Nisku (near Edmonton airport).

2. Does somebody know about any temporary accomodation for 1-2 weeks. Like in Vancouver, I know some people rent furnished accomodation on weekly basis and is not expensive.

3. Is there any indian community, temple, etc. in Edmonton.

4. What about indian grocery stores and indian video.

5. Any place or organisation, where we can make friends, indians, etc.

I have lot of other general queries and will post it later.

Thanks friends in advance.
Ash

Hi Ash20

You can look at the craigslist ads. for temporary accomodation or also ads in local newspaper like vancouver courier or burnaby leader, or in the library, etc. Where do you want to live.

3. Is there any indian community, temple, etc. in Edmonton.

Edm has a huge indy population, possibly 30%, a nice temple where people gather every sunday for lunch and interaction

4. What about indian grocery stores and indian video.
tons of them all over the place

5. Any place or organisation, where we can make friends, indians, etc.
