Ok alberta and manitoba mamas come out come out

I am in Lethbridge, AB. It is better than some places, worse than others. Homeschooling laws (from what I hear, my ds is only 3 so we're not there yet...) are some of the best in the country. Not too much intervention and you get around $1400/year for curric. and supplies (I would double check that though just to be sure). There is a pretty big homeschooling community here. They hold monthly meetings that I keep meaning to check out

We are in cattle country, so many of the farms around here are feedlots There are some organic farmers though. Farmers market is once a week. Lots of Hutterite Colonies around here too and they sell lots of veggies at the farmers market for not much $$$. There are several HFS and 1 organic market. All the grocery stores have health food sections and offer organic food as well.

There are some natural minded folks here, not many, but some. We are trying to bring some better stuff here, but change takes time. A friend of mine just started a chapter of Families For Natural Living here and we are about to plan our 2nd meeting. There is LLL as well.

It is about 1-1.5 hours to several really great hiking and/or camping areas and just over 2 to Calgary.

There are lots of jobs in some fields and none in others. There is a college and a university, so vacancy rates are pretty low from Sept-April. Public transit is somewhat lacking, but they are trying to improve it. Hmmmmmm, that is all I can think of!Lethbridge Herald
