Got to love the weather in Alberta. Really it is fantastic. We get some terrific weather patterns throughout the year. Here in Central Alberta we are immune for the most part to long durations of extreme heat and extreme cold. We have a moderate climate and we are blessed with warm westerly winds a.k.a Chinooks that thaw our winters and warm our hearts.

My grand father recently passed away at the age of 101. Yes 101!
He would boast he was actually in his 102nd year. Doing the math you would determine that he

Alberta
is the talk of all my friends and relatives from out of province. After escaping to the Okanagan for a family

Lots!
The biggest recommendation I can make to clients is to be
informed and have realistic expectations regarding time ...
