I'm south east of Calgary in Brooks.
I've worked in Ft Saint John.  I wouldn't go back, haha 
 
Most places north of Grand Prairie are really swampy and will have a lot of mosquitos this time of year.  In the winter though, the money you can make is just insane.  $25/hours for the guys just starting (from everything from rigs to vaccuum trucks, everybody makes money).
This last winter in Ft St, they were looking for class 3 drives for swamp trucks, no experience needed.  $25/hour to start, 10 hours guaranteed every day.  Since it's BC, that includes 2 hours of overtime.
