Alberta Stars

Hello Dear Stars. AlbertaStars.com has gone through some turbulent times and has reached the level at which current set up no longer meets the demand. I have been working real hard lately to come up with solution that would accommodate current growth and no matter how much I was trying to salvage some of work that's been done on the site so far, the only feasible solution appears to be the complete and thorough overhaul. This means new everything.

I have had a few of Alberta Stars' core members participate in complete overhaul with me outside of this website. You may have noticed sudden, decreased activity of formerly active members that happened overnight. They didn't become inactive, they have just been active on a development server. With their help I've been able to see a lot of progress, however I need more help. The more people help, the sooner we will reach the point of having the new, better site. This is what you can do now:

Report all inappropriate posts such as those with nudity and spam to the moderators so it can be dealt with quickly. Do not respond to spam. Just report it with the URL (link) of the post so we don't have to search for it, but can go to it directly and remove it. Spam that gets replies is more difficult to trace down because it appears to be a legitimate post which attracts replies. Whereas when it has no replies, it can be easily identified as bull$hit. Let's clean the forum of undesired content so we don't have to deal with it when data is being transferred from this old database to the new one.

H1N1 influenza virus commonly known as Swine Flu has not avoided the province of Alberta either. What started in Mexico, soon spread to the United States and Canada. Alberta health officials are on alert, Albertans take precautions even though most citizens don't concern themselves with the outbreak enough to make significant changes to their everyday routines.

There is currently no vaccine available to protect people from H1N1 influenza. The seasonal flu vaccines used in Alberta are not effective against Swine Flu. As per instructions given by Alberta's Chief Medical of Health Dr. Andre Corriveau, all Alberta health care providers are actively involved in monitoring flu like symptoms and implementing protocols to avoid the spread of infection throughout the province.

Alberta has a pandemic plan in place which would minimize the impact of Swine Flu should the spread get out of hand. Alberta Emergency Management Agency along with Alberta Health and Wellness cooperate closely to reduce occurrences of infections and to minimize impact of the illness to the everyday life of Albertans.

Take a virtual tour through Canadian Rocky Mountains with lots of pictures and detailed guide on what's what. Alberta part of the Rocky Mountains is home to Jasper and Banff National Parks - two of the most beautiful mountainous spots in the world, offering unparalleled sightseeing and wildlife viewing with drop dead scenery.

Whether you visit the Rocky Mountains in winter or in summer, there is always a sleuth of activities with their own beauty to it. Small towns randomly placed throughout the Canadian Rockies are great starting points for any adventure. These include Cranbrook, Valemount, Golden, Revelstoke, Invermere, Kananaskis, Canmore, Waterton, Kimberley, Fernie, Lake Louise, and of course Jasper and Banff. The Columbia Icefield, located just half way through between Jasper and Banff is an ideal spot from where to explore the wilder side of Canada. Radium, Nakusp or Fairmont hotsprings will offer much needed rejuvenating and relaxation after your adventure. Alberta welcomes you and with Canadian Rockies in our backyard, you'd miss out if you passed by.

Alberta is gay friendly, gay marriages are legally recognized and equal to a marriage between a man and a woman. Alberta Registry Agents sell marriage licenses which couples interested in marrying need to purchase. With the marriage license, you can get married in Alberta within three months of date it was issued.

Same Sex Marriage was recognized in Canada by enactment of Civil Marriage Act on July 20, 2005. Alberta along with Prince Edward Island were among Canada's last provinces to legally recognize same sex marriage (Ontario was first - 10 June 2003). In two years since its official enactment, 600 same sex marriage licenses were issued to Albertans.
