Someone's running a serious cleanup operation downtown—602 pounds pulled this week alone. Total for 2026 so far: 7,813 pounds. All-time: 30,616 pounds. That's commitment.
Badlands is posting notices in the Beltline with contact info and reaching out to the community—at least they're making an effort to communicate. Could be genuine, could be noise management damage control, but props for trying.
A person wearing rainbow clothing was told to leave Jamesons in Brentwood after the general manager used a slur. They weren't filming anyone—just checking Instagram—but the manager asked them to produce ID, and when they refused, kicked them out. Called the restaurant to complain and got the same guy on the phone. Don't go there.
Foam Fest is happening in Cochrane this weekend with giant inflatables, obstacle courses, foam, and mud. Easy outing from the city if you're looking to get outside. All proceeds support Make-A-Wish Canada.
people are asking for good donair and beer spots beyond Blowers & Grafton — redditors coming through with recs for the craving.
looking for cardamom buns in the city rn and apparently it's harder than expected — someone's asking reddit if any Calgary bakeries actually carry them.
Helicopter circling and police searching with flashlights in Bankview this morning, but no details online yet. Anyone know what's going on?
Someone spotted an absolute unit of a red-winged blackbird holding down the best territory at Bridlewood Wetlands Park. The boardwalk is prime marsh real estate and this bird is definitely not giving it up.
Someone's asking the city where to find solid donuts that won't wreck the wallet — good size, good quality, fair price. Not gourmet, not Tim's, but actual hidden gems that deliver real value.
The mosquitoes are out in force and vicious. They're swarming hard across the city — stay covered up out there.
if you're house hunting in your late 20s or 30s and prices in the sw are insane, queensland's worth a real look. properties are well-maintained, large, and not overpriced. locals dismiss it as the "bad side" but that couldn't be more wrong — especially if you have a high-energy dog.
the mosquitos are absolutely insane today. someone got swarmed at crowfoot library/high school and was covered in bites within 2 minutes — arms, neck, face, back through a t-shirt. finally get decent weather and can't even step outside.
Someone on McKnight east bound spotted a "Control Your Long Grass" sign... hidden in long grass. The irony's pretty perfect.
Someone's looking for hi-res sunset photos from June 20 to include in a memorial book for their dog Penelope, who passed away that day. If you caught that brief, colourful sunset, they're offering compensation to use your file.
The Calgary Stampede is releasing discounts and free admission days for 2026. Check the official Stampede site for when you can get in without paying or score a cheaper ticket.
Premier Smith personally wrote a letter to city hall this week because Cowboys Music Festival needed to turn down the volume a few decibels — meanwhile hundreds of Young Canadians in the Stampede were abused for decades with barely a response.
The noise rules debate is getting real — people saying the Cowboys tents have been treating their neighbours like garbage for years, but the city's new rules just copied what Coachella and Lollapalooza already do. It's not about cancelling Stampede, it's about treating residents fairly.
Someone's been spotting beautiful white-faced ibis at work every day in the SW — they flew a long way to get here. Plus the Canadian geese goslings have tripled in size in just two weeks. Cool to watch nature doing its thing.
Multiple Canadian military flyovers caught above the city around 11 a.m. to noon Monday. Reddit users posted photos — third pass was the money shot for pictures.
Calgary police and Alberta Sheriffs are deploying a coordinated presence at Stampede tent venues like Cowboys to strengthen public safety. Partnership aims to protect residents and businesses during the festival.
