hi everyone, i work in a restaurant in sherwood park, and we’re almost always hiring, if you or someone you know has experience either working in a kitchen or serving/bartending, dm me with your resume and i can probably get you an interview!!
restaurant is local public eatery, starting wage is minimum plus tips. if you have lots of experience, you might get started at a higher amount.
Hello, I am feeling extremely defeated and am hoping to get some insight/feedback to recalibrate our expectations.
We've been wanting at moving to Sherwood Park for the past several years and this year we were finally in a position to make the move. The house hunting journey has been extremely emotionally taxing. We have lost out on multiple homes that have sold well over asking and with no conditions. We are looking in the 700-800k range in an established neighborhood - which we understand is in high demand due to low inventory.
Is this the norm now?? 😭😣
This pertains to my mom's house. The next door neighbour's are lets just say, not exactly upstanding members of our community. I dont even know where to begin.
For starters, ever since they moved in they are constantly outside in their backyard, sometimes up until as late as 3am hacking and coughing all hours of the day. The adult children are all pot heads and the head honcho (the hacker we'll call him) chain smokes religiously. It isn't just normal coughing either, it's one decibel away from being yelling. Between that and the constant odor of cannabis, the adult chidren being obnoxious, their backyard is an absolute landfill. The biggest issue with the noise is it keeps my elderly mother awake at night, she can't even have her window open to let in cool air during the summer months. What do you do though? Call the bylaw because this guy is hacking his guts out at 3 am?
Ok, so the backyard. There is about 3 years of dog shit from 2 dogs that has accumulated in their backyard behind their detached garage (we'll come back to this). On a particularly humid day, if you go to the back corner of my moms yard the stench becomes unbearable - nevermind the amount of insects swarming around there. Its disgusting.
The detached garage. Its so full of junk and so derelict that the adult children/hacker have set up a "smoke shack" out of one of those portable canvas car cover things. Furthermore, the garage is infested with squirrels. I can see them coming in and out of the eaves and one side is so full of branches, twigs and various other elements which must constitute the mothership of all squirrel nests.
Ok, so the front. Its obviously a pig sty like the rest of the property (grass that is almostt 2ft hig, garbage piled up the side of their house etc). The main issue is, all of their cigarette butts, candy wrappers and empty drink container, trash etc. end up on my moms lawn. Everytime I mow the lawn I have to stop and spend about 4 minutes throwing all of this crap back on to their property (the stuff I can see atleast) to continue on. The reason I'm writing this is because last year I tried doing the neighbourly thing and I told the hacker that he cant throw his garbage onto our property and at the very least they need "contain" the trash on their side - I was met with only hostility though they did somewhat keep things "tidy" for a few months.
Anyways, whats the best way to move forward? This family is here to stay and I dont want to make my moms life harder (she has lived here for 30+ years and loves her home).
Thanks for any advice. I'm definitely going to have a polite conversation with the neighbour about all of these issues but I highly doubt he will be receptive.
Looking for a reasonably priced, good arborist who works in SP. Pruning and possible tree removals. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Any men’s rec groups in the Park? I’m not athletic by any stretch of the imagination but I like to pretend I am. Just moved to SP last July, I literally work, sleep, repeat. I’m 38 male and dying on the inside, and maybe the outside lol mental health has taken a beating since Covid and sitting in my house is not improving it at all. 🙏🙌🏻
Seems like the coyotes are getting braver each day. I live in glen allen, used to see them rarely and if we did it would generally be at night or early morning.
Now they are just out in the daytime consistently, see one almost everyday.
This year, I’ve seen lots of videos or witnessed coyotes chasing people and their dogs. One jumped my fence and into my backyard the other day. I was on my porch this morning and someone was yelling. Man came jogging down with his dog (larger dog) and had 2 coyotes chasing him down the street.
I know the county won’t really do anything, I just worry.
I think back to stories of people being attacked in Calgary and hope our community doesn’t have that happen.
What birthday freebies can you get around Sherwood park? 🙈 I don’t do much for my birthday so it may be a fun adventure to go out and see what is to offer!
Also, where would you recommend going for dinner in Sherwood park?
My sister passed away a number of years ago. My parents are downsizing and I have 2 of her High School Year Books from Salisbury Comp.
They are from 91/92 & 93/94
What to do with them ? We live in Vancouver now, so I can’t just drop them off.
Is it worth it to contact the school to see if they would be interested me donating to them ?
Facebook Marketplace in case someone from those years lost theirs or never purchased one in the first place?
I don’t want any money for them, just the postage (I’ll have to calculate) or I would even split the cost.
Before I toss them in the recycling bin does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks so much !
Gotta love when someone’s 11 year old threatens to beat you up because you tell them they should use a crosswalk, thats 30 feet away, instead of stopping in the road, flipping a car off and yelling obscenities at the driver. (Driver was not me, I was on my porch)
Tried to insult me by saying I was pushing 30. Thanks for the compliment kiddo 💁🏻♀️
Anyone have any news on the rumoured gym that is going in part of the old Safeway building?
Hello everyone. I recently quit my job at Jimmy John’s on Wye Road. The level of incompetency and general corruption that goes on there is astounding. Along with myself, multiple employees were not given their checks for up to a week past pay day, myself and another employee were given checks ~20x LESS than we should have gotten, and there is a lack of care for the running of the business. This goes oddly deep, so forgive me if I ramble. After training, I was employed as a supervisor. For the few months I worked there, I only found out after reaching out to the original manager that I was being paid $2/hr less than I was supposed to be paid. The current manager denies and denies and denies that I was ever supposed to be paid such a rate, despite multiple pay stubs and statements from both the original manager, opening trainer from Foodtastic (the parent company), AND previous statements from herself. I am far from the only person to have filed a complaint with the Board of Labour over this. Additionally, it was incredibly hard to do my job after the current manager took over, because she is just genuinely stupid. We never had enough product, resources, even basic health supplies. The ppm of the cleaning solution could not have been take for a WEEK, when it has to be taken multiple times per day. Because it was within the probationary period, multiple employees have been let go, and only the ones who questioned the legitimacy of her job. I do not know if there is currently a supervisor working there. The owner of the restaurant, Ravi Prakash Singh, is not listed as an owner on his LinkedIn. Rather, he is the chairman of O & O Group of Companies, which owns a few stores, does real estate, and immigration insurance / consultancy. While most of their stores are franchises, they’ve recently opened up a restaurant called Cheezly Pizza in the same area as Jimmy John’s. This location has practically no online presence, and everything about the store is AI generated. AI menu, location summary, I believe even reviews. If you check most of the Google reviews, they are accounts that have given both Cheezly and Jimmy John’s 5 stars, sometimes even saying the same exact thing, word for word. I don’t know how deep it goes, but it’s clear O & O Group of Companies is a shady, corrupt, incompetent business run by terrible people. Some of my previous co workers still work there, so please don’t harass any employees. But I know any pressure on Jimmy John’s and other businesses they own would go a long way. I am still owed hundreds of dollars by them, and I swear to god I will make them lose the restaurant before they never give me that money. Thank you for reading.
Tl;dr, Jimmy John’s on Wye is a horrible place that terribly mistreats their employees, and I have no doubt that this mismanagement extends to some of their other properties.
Moved into a home in sherwood park in the beginning of june. The road is tight and congested when people cant park properly agaisnt the curb, narrow road with all the big trucks coming in and out hauling lumber, concrete trucks ect.
3 trucks from a home building company havent moved since ive been here. Ive tried to contact the home builder about relocating them, with no luck. Who would I report this to? Should I report this? I would hate for my vehicles to be side swiped.
For the love of Christ, get your fucking head out of your fucking ass. I am so sick of the oblivious drivers out there I could explode. People blowing stop signs, people driving on the wrong side of the road, people making left turns in front of you or from beside you, causing near collisions. Why do we all have to be ultra defensive drivers because of these assholes? Fuuuuuuuuck!!!!!! Rant over.
Hello! I’m newish to Sherwood Park, moved here in September 2025, and I am looking for recommendations for good family Doctors or clinics to look at. Clinics/drs to avoid would also be greatly appreciated. Any insight would be helpful!!
Thank you!!!
Seems like there's more frequent sightings of coyotes on Baseline road, close to Crimson Dr. We've seen them a few times while walking our dogs and have also seen coyotes following dog walkers along the sidewalk. I noticed that on the south side of Baseline the county has put up barriers with the "Coyote in area" signs, but does anyone know if they have a den there? Or if the county plans to trap and relocate it?
Like the title says, I'm looking for ready to cook tortillas. I've never seen these in a grocery store.
Hi, looking to move to Sherwood park in the fall. What areas are currently most convenient for access to shopping, amenities? What are the best schools for elementary age children?
My son is going to be turning one towards the end of July and initially our plan was to do his party outside at our acreage. However, the mosquitos on our property are terrible due to all the rain and I am starting to worry that it won’t get better by the end of July. I am looking at a backup plan if anyone has anywhere they really liked or heard great things about for a group of babies and kids ranging from 1-5. Thanks!
