What is the best route from Lloydminster to Slave Lake?
Well, there are many different routes you can go. If you wish to take the major highways, here's one possibility:
- From Lloyminster, go west on Yellowhead (Highway 16) through Edmonton. (approximately 300 km)
- Follow the Yellowhead until you find the turn-off merge lane to go to Villeneuve. This is Highway 44. (trip is around 56 km)
- Head straight north through the town of Westlock past Dapp, Jarvie, Fawcett, and Flatbush. (106 km)
- Then you will find Highway 44 merge into to Highway 2 past Hondo, and run straight to Slave Lake. (58 km)
This trip going this route will take you around 5 to 6 hours to complete.
Another possibility is the following:
- From the Yellowhead in Edmonton (which will be around 275 km long), turn north to hit Highway 2, which runs through St. Albert and Mornville to Clyde (around 60 km)
- From the Clyde corner, go east for one mile until you come to the corner where you find Highway 2 continuing north to Athabasca. (73 km)
- From Athabasca, continue following Highway 2 north west to the Hondo corner (around 75 km), and keep following west 53 km to Slave Lake.
This trip may take the same amount of time as above.
If you want to avoid going through the major cities (Edmonton and St. Albert) and want to go for the scenery (there's a lot of you that like it that way, you know!), follow the following directions:
- From Lloydminster, head north 29 km on highway 17 to Alcurve.
- Head west on highway 45 to Marwayne.
- Turn North, then west again, past Dewberry and Clandonald until you come to the T-intersection to Highway 41.
- Head North 61 km along Highway 41 to another T-intersection with 28A on your left and Highway 28 on your right.
- Turn left (West) on Highway 28A. Past Ashmont the Highway will become Highway 28/36. Keep going through Smoky Lake to the intersection past Radway that leads you to Highway 63. (100 km route.)
- Head north on Highway 63 for 13 km until you come to the turn-off to Highway 18 to Thorhild.
- Turn left on Highway 18 to Thorhild and follow the highway until you reach the town of Westlock. (54 km route)
- Turn north at the main intersection in Westlock that is Highway 44.
- Follow Highway 44 all the way up to Hondo, where it changes to Highway 2. (106 km to Highway 2 turn off)
- Keep following it until you get to Slave Lake. (53 km)
This route may be the same amount of time as the other possibilities, or longer depending on the speed limits of each highway you follow.
If you have a map of the province Alberta, you will find endless possibilities of which roads to follow to get to Slave Lake from Lloydminster. Depending on the driver and his/her comfort zone with major highways or secondary highways, remember to read the map properly, follow the legend, and take breaks as much as you can or want. All in all, the trip from Lloydminster to Slave Lake will be at least 5 hours long.

Does Edmonton have hard or soft water?
Toronto, typically, has soft water, though the condition of residential piping may affect this. Toronto has some of the highest quality "tap-water" in the world.

Price slashing has occurred, causing bottled-water prices to plummet (24 for $2 CAD).

Can you get into Canada with a birth certificate?
Pretty sure you need a passport or a driver's license and birth certificate.
if you don't have a passport they will let you cross with a birth certificate and drivers license, if you don't have either don't bother they won't let you cross,
The above answer is only partially true if you chose to use government issued id and it looks like it is sponsored by those who say you need one. (see the weblinks??)
the truth is you do not need one but you must have your papers ready to show. the government isssed identification are not your papers. the papers i speak of are your responsibility to maintain. i know a gentlemen who crosses the border with only this in the back of his bible. i can hear it now, a right wing christian nut job. Is that really adult thinking??? You may want to ask why he can do this an not need any government issued id?

Myself, I have been living out of Canada [ in Southeast Asia ] for about eleven years, and have recently met a Canadian citizen who had been employed by Walt Disney Studios as a cartoonist for almost 30 years, and is now retired and living in Las Vegas, Nevada.
He is still a Canadian citizen because he has never applied for American citizenship, in the 40 years he has lived and worked outside of Canada.
