How about we move this thread to the Canadian forum where it will attract the right attention?
Ponoka is a small town in a very rural area about an hour and a bit south of Edmonton. The main employer is the psychiatric hospital. The community is pretty welcoming and there are many things to do despite the small-townishness. You'll probably have to arrange for private child care, because I don't think you'll find a day care that caters to shift-workers. Even in the big city we don't have them and there isn't a day care at the University Hospital although the demand would be huge. One alternative is to find live-in help, which might be dificult too due to the economy. Let's throw it out there and see what comes back.
thanks this wz quite helpful....any ideas about accomodation....its quite difficult to see flats to rent advertised for ponoka....what are the good areas, any wedsite suggestion to search.
