Looks like it'l be January before I am heading out. Course I am on now don't finish til October and then I need to get myself sorted. Still not sure if I'll be heading to Calgary or Toronto yet. Looking to work in IT mainly, hoping to get a job in that asap but obvs I'll take a paying job in anything to get my feet under me

Who/who did you book this through?
We will be going to either Edmonton or Saskatoon, though Saskatoon seems to be far more expensive to fly into despite being marginally closer to the East coast, & thus a shorter trip.
We will go early July but prices I've seen are a good bit higher - maybe it's just about the specific dates to travel?
