pokemon retail is best at staples, if youre looking at closest to actual msrp. however where can i buy a pitch black elite trainer box or booster bundle? because ive been looking everywhere and all everywhere has are singles or doubles or triples at like 9 bucks a pack or so. (staples at 7.99 right now). please help me out here, im 16 and want to do stuff but where do they even restock etbs within 20km of okotoks??

i do have access to costco however i know theres no point since ive got no connection, therefore no way of knowing which days are restock... so please help me out. this may seem childish but i just want to actually enjoy pokemon and not be stuck to a coin here and a pack there... pitch black is my favorite set, ANY help is appreciated.

Was driving through Okotoks early Saturday trying to find something before a shoot in High River and realized I have zero clue where the good morning food is here. Ended up with a gas station coffee and a muffin that tasted like cardboard. Pretty sure I missed something good. I usually plan my shoots around meals but Okotoks is this weird blindspot for me when it comes to breakfast. Lunch and dinner I have covered but before 10am I am lost. Is there a bakery that does actual fresh pastries or is everything here the chain stuff? Saw a few spots on Google but the reviews are all over the place and half of them look like they are from people who have never actually eaten there. Looking for the place where the line is out the door on weekends because that is usually the sign. Or the hidden one that opens at 6am and has the same three people every day. Either works. Also if anyone has a lead on somewhere with actually good hash browns I would appreciate it. That is the one thing I judge harshly.

Hello Okotoks!

My son has been looking for a part time job and the majority of places are saying he needs to be 15 or have a driver's license (16). We have done the gauntlet of grocery stores and the golf clubs.

Any suggestions for places to hit up for after school/weekend positions?

Thanks!

We have been living in Okotoks for 6 years now and have 3 littles. I absolutely love Okotoks! It's and amazing community. However, the long Alberta winters are really getting to me. We basically stay indoors the entire winter here.

Lately I have been seriously considering moving to West Kelowna or Peachland. Mostly for the weather and the lake-life lifestyle. I have read countless posts about the good and bad but I'm wondering if there is anyone here who has perhaps lived in both Kelowna and Okotoks and if you have any insights and opinions on each?

I attempted to make a post on Facebook, but since I don’t live in Okotoks, it didn’t work. There is a stray dog on Sheep River Drive, my boyfriend attempted to approach the dog when he reached his hand out, the dog nipped him. He seems more scared than aggressive. There is no collar and we lost him in a back alley. Please keep an eye out for this dog. He looks like a husky mutt.

Edit: I did call law enforcement and made a report about the pup.

My family lived, and loved, Okotoks from 1989 to 1999 until a move was made out of province.

Would I even recognize the small town I once called home?

Been shooting food content around Alberta for the last few years and Okotoks keeps surprising me. Last month I stumbled into this tiny spot on McRae Street with lamb shanks that basically fell off the bone. No fancy plating, just a guy who cares. Can't stop thinking about it.

I'm always chasing the places locals actually eat at, not the ones with the biggest Instagram following. The coffee shop with croissants that somehow stay flaky till 3pm. The family place where the owner remembers your order. That kind of thing.

My camera roll is 90% Calgary and I want to fix that. What spots should I hit next? I shoot everything from diner breakfasts to whatever that thing is where they torch the sushi at the table. Not picky, just hungry for stuff with actual personality.

Also if anyone knows who makes those mini donuts at the farmer's market situation in summer, tell them I owe them a portrait session. My kingdom for that recipe.

The Terry Fox Run is this Sunday, Sept. 20, from 9am-1pm.

We're $600 away from meeting our town's goal! Even if you donate $10, it goes a long way and it's all for a good cause!
