Mountain Equipment Co-op is a great place to go to get equipped for your trip, big or small. You have to buy membership for a nominal fee but it is definitely worth it. I would highly recommend it and the staff are very helpful.

Bison Books is a good place to find books which you never knew existed. If you have the time to go through shelves and shelves of books, this is the place to be!

Out of all the places to shop around for a dress I would highly recommend Belle Rykiss. The girls are very helpful and the selection is high quality and not too overwhelming.

This is not the biggest library in the city but the service is very good and it has a good resource base for a library of its size. A nice quiet place to go and study as well.

Dunns baked goods are likely the best that you will find in the entire city. The bakery has a European flare and is a great spot to go if you're in the mood to treat yourself.

As per usual, Booster Juice is a great place to go for a quick pick me up. This Booster Juice is combined with a pita place as well if you're in the mood for something a bit more substantial. Not always the cleanest of places but a good student hang out.

If you are in the mood for seafood on the go, Joey's restaurant is a good place to go to get some fish and chips combined with very efficient service.

Flying with West-jet has a lot character, good service and offers cheap and afforadable flights. They have frequent seat sales and the flights are readily booked online.

This is a great place to go for a nice baked treat. The individual servings are big enough for you to call them a decent sized supper!

A very good place to go if you are looking for some freshly baked bread to complement your meal. It was well-worth the trip to the bakery.
