Hola Como puedo comunicarme con uds ?
I want to know how many times it takes the fresh water in the whole washing period?
What?
Thx
Thanks i dont live there got my own at my house that I didn’t know how to use 😂
We would recommend googling your specific brand and model + "tutorial" and there is likely a video instructing you how to use it!
Are the machines time-shared? Like are there only few machines for a lot of residents?
Hi there! Yes, these machines are in shared rooms in apartment buildings that all residents have access to. Some buildings have private machines in each apartment which do not require laundry cards or coins.
Thank youu 🌺
Thank you!
Saskatoon SK seems like it could use a LTT system would possibly grow that city faster
thats good less imigrints ?
Where can i get This card?
Your building manager should give you one, if they haven't, here is the site: coinamatic.com/
very nice
till when do the service available in night. i wanted to take bus after 11pm
Here is a link to the Saskatoon bus routes and schedules: transit.saskatoon.ca/plan-my-trip/routes-schedules. A few buses run after midnight.
The busses run past that time.
yes it does very cold here in regina
Your the best
I want a phone number for transit...fuck!!
Perfect
Very nice upload host thanks for sharing
This is one of the most helpful videos I have found! I'll be traveling to Canada (Alberta) on December 25th so I'm pretty nervous. The coldest it gets in my home country is 22C so I really am worried about the harsh winter there. I won't be able to get the majority of the stuff you mentioned from my home country (at least not quality ones) so I really appreciate you listing the stores so I know where to find them. I heard there are a lot of sales on boxing day. Is it cheaper to buy from the mall on that day or to go to thrift shops?
We are so glad you found this video useful! We can't predict Boxing Day prices, often the prices will drop quite low but thrift shops will also have sales on that day so it is hard to say which will be cheaper. Visiting a store like Cabela's right when it opens on Boxing Day is a good idea to find high quality winter wear on sale. Stores like Value Village or Salvation Army will have affordable winter wear on regular winter days.
@@GlobalGatheringPlace Oh thank you! I just checked Google maps and I don't think my city (Red Deer) has a Cabela's. :( I'm not really sure how to tell which winter wear is high quality. Do you have any tips on what to look for? Or maybe even just good yet affordable brands you'd recomend? Thank you for your help. I really do appreciate it 💗
@@Bhawna03 Okay, Red Deer does have Mark's and Sportchek which are two other stores that will sell high quality outerwear. Regularly, their coats will range from $60 to over $300 dollars but they will have Boxing Day sales. On days without sales, Walmart and thrift stores like Value Village are your best options for lower-cost coats and ski pants etc.
@@GlobalGatheringPlace Oh thank you! I'll go to those places you mentioned. Thanks so much for your help!
@@Bhawna03 Good luck braving your first winter here in Canada! Here are two resettlement agencies in Red Deer who can further support you in your settlement journey: caiwa.ca/ www.carefornewcomers.ca/
Grt vdo! 👍
wow, how do u pee in winter? LOL ... whoever invented the zipper invented it to make it easier for us to pee, with an outfit like ours, I'm gonna need a chainsaw just to pee, otherwise, I'm gonna walk around with wet pants! , is that is what you guys are doing ?? LOL. I wonder why no one has made a line of clothing that is more reliable in the winter, you don't need layers in winter, you just need the right material and the right design.
I always thought the same why canada hasn't invested in research and innovation to Make any clothing material that can provide sufficient insulation without layering also different road paving materials so that roads won't crack during temperature fluctuations.
help help please help please
why are Saskatchewan buses always nova buses? Is buying a product from quebec help the western economy? No, but buying flyer from Winnipeg will give you much better product and made in Manitoba..our neighbours and friends, not quebec, who hates us.
Thanks for this.
Please blur the card
And when do you poor the softener in the rinse cycle of the washing machine?
Yes
Hi there ! Your washing machine may have a special softener compartment, if that's the case you should pour one cap of fabric softener at the very beginning when you put the laundry in. If there is no compartment, start your washing machine and then check back every 10 or 15 minutes until the dial indicates that it is in the final rinse cycle, at this time, open your washing machine and pour a cap of fabric softener directly in.
Thanks. I like it.
I can't wait to step through the doors of GGP
Thanks you so much
Well done GGP!

I love the video. GGP is a special place and I miss it. I can not wait to volunteer in Laurie B’s classroom again. Maryam & Abdullah, you made this video very special. Abdullah, you are very privileged to be mentored by this very special man. Your English is so good!!! See you all soon. Chantal
Volunteering at GPP was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! The environment is so amazing and supportive. I’ve always felt so welcome there! ❤️
Helena, thank you for your heartwarming note!!! We are so happy to hear you felt welcomed and supported at GGP. We are grateful for you!
Thank you, everyone at GGP. Volunteering at Global Gathering Place is indeed one of the best experiences I have had ever since I came to Canada. I appreciate all the opportunities provided by you all to allow me to make a real impact on people’s lives. I gained skills and self-confidence through all kinds of activities held by GGP. This year is unusual; the contributions everyone of GGP is making to people are unusually extraordinary. BTW, Rachel's singing is so so so interesting and her voice is nice~ I am so proud of being a part of GGP as a volunteer. Cheers~
Your note absolutely made our day!! Thank you SO much for all of your contributions to GGP clients! We're fortunate to have you in the GGP family.
Question... is Turkey an inexpensive meal?
Yes a medium sized turkey costs about $18. And can feed a family.
Hi Nick, thanks for your question. Taking advantage of low prices around Thanksgiving, we would say that turkey can feed a lot of people for a relatively low price. And is made more filling (and tasty) with stuffing :-)

Hi Lori
