Hi everyone,
We are moving to Edmonton next month and I’m hoping to get some guidance on the random questions that keep popping up. I apologize if some of these have been asked/answered in other threads. And if some of them seem stupid well… I’d rather risk stupidity than ignorance . Thanks for the help!
Vehicles:
During what months do you need a block heater? Are we through the worst of the winter and can I wait to have one installed or is it just safer to have it done before we depart?
I’ve been holding off having a cracked windshield replaced, not wanting to risk another rock chip on the long drive and have to replace a new windshield – is there an inspection process to register vehicles that would require this be replaced beforehand?
Pets:
We’ve had such a mild winter our dogs (mixed mutts) have not developed much of their winter coat – any suggestions on weather gear, i.e. coats, sweaters, boots, etc.?
Is there such a thing as indoor dog parks?
Housing:
Can anyone provide a rough estimate for monthly utilities on a 1,400 – 1,800 sq ft house?
Miscellaneous:
Other than HSBC, is there a bank that will allow you to open an account before you arrive and before you have a SIN?
Appreciate any info. Thanks again!
Kathryn
