Cool video, thanks for sharing! I especially love the old historic brick buildings downtown, excellent preservation oh history. Cheers from Edmonton!

[@livinginalbertanow]

Same! Not many actual older brick buildings in Alberta and its great to see it preserved. Looking forward to the sunny weather so I can walk the street there.

[@livinginalbertanow]

Driving from Hamilton ON to LaComb Alberta October 1st. Can’t wait to start fresh! ❤

[@livinginalbertanow]

I've lived in Hamilton, and don't blame you - a fresh start in a smaller community will be great for you.

Is there a bus system in Lacombe ? I heard there’s no Walmart

[@livinginalbertanow]

No it is too small for a bus system. The Walmart is 25 minutes away.

[@sadie-and-jack]

What is the biggest employer there?

[@livinginalbertanow]

Alberta Financial Services Corp. There is a large oil and gas presence as well as agriculture.

[@officialindependentnationo5895]

Hear taxes are high. Is that true

[@livinginalbertanow]

High compared to, is what needs to be asked. Smaller communities are indeed raising taxes but so are larger cities - just look at Calgary and how much taxes have gone up in the last few years - when a population explosion happens, and everyone moves to Alberta it puts a huge stress on city infrastructure and services.

[@livinginalbertanow]

On a $400K home it is about $2100 tax, in Calgary it would be $2600. In Toronto, it would be $2800, In Strathmore it would $3600.
