Canada Mega Thread - Information and Advice
Who ever is heading to whistler early we should meet up ill be there October a little early keen to meet up before the huge influx of people..
You going to be in Vancouver mid October? I could go for some beers 
When are planning on arriving? Could be persuaded to come down for the day 
I’ll let you know once I book… but I will most likely be there around the 16th to 22nd/23rd?
Maybe come on the 18th, which is a Friday night and come watch ice hockey with me? Vancouver Giants vs Kamloops Blazers. Like $30 
ill def be in whistler in october, flights booked in van on 18th september
Are you going to be sticking around in Vanc ads? Maybe we should all go to the hockey together and grab a beer?

Nice one.
Anyone else on Couchsurfing? Theres 150 couches in Whistler and 1100 in Vanc
I did some research with regard to what kind of plastic to take over. Despite notoriously poor customer service, the Citibank Plus card has basically no fees at all and gives you a transaction rate which is purported to be the wholesale Visa rate.
I figure it will be useful to have a versatile card like this.
Join Westpac in Aus, you can withdraw money at any Scotia ATM for free with no fees, just the conversion rate.
I was going to get a hostel, just easier to know where I’m going to stay rather than last minute finding a place if things fall through. I also won’t end up in the suburbs having to commute each day to get things done…
Yep quite a few of us will be in whistler for october after job fairs, make sure we all catch up and start getting beers

With the Citibank card there’s no fees for any ATM’s, you only pay what the local ATM owner charges (which in Europe is free in most places, not sure about Canada though). Many people couple the Citibank Plus card with the 28 Degrees CC as they are both great for traveling, but I’m not fussed to have a CC.

I anticipate they will have already commenced in September. 
Not sure about you guys, but if you’d all like to have a joint blog (each of us have our own page but on the same site to increase traffic) then I’d be more than happy to set one up? Then once you post there, you can copy / paste to BW and post links on Facebook etc. If people want to read about the stuff you’ve done, they might continue onto my page or someone else’s page?

If you set up a free wiki you can dedicate a page for each person on there?
I was thinking something more along the lines of this:
Each member has a page which can be accessed in the top right corner, I can give people access via their email address and I’ll update the main page with photos or videos from everyone. It’s a pretty nice looking layout and the tools that they give you are pretty straight forward
It also keeps all posts in 1 place rather than a BW forum blog in which each post gets replies in the middle. We can just copy and paste the blog posts on here
