Olympic gold medallist moguls skier Mikael Kingsbury and short track speedskater Courtney Sarault — who won four medals at the 2026 Winter Olympics — are set to ride as honorary marshals for the Stampede parade July 3. Both are new to horseback, so expect some good-natured rodeo rookie energy.
If you were at Rockyview Westhills Medical Clinic (220 Stewart Green S.W.) on May 11 between 10:06 a.m. and 12:31 p.m., you may have been exposed to measles. Health officials are asking anyone born after 1970 with fewer than two vaccine doses to monitor for symptoms and take precautions at healthcare facilities.
one of those nights when the whole city's looking up asking the same question. posts flying in asking what's in the sky. classic calgary moment.
that sky today is a mental health cheat code. honestly don't know how people do it in cloudier cities. sure we've got problems but all those sunny days are huge for mood. pure solar recharge.
big shout to the folks at TransAlta and the City for keeping us safe this week. no idea what all goes into water management but they clearly lost sleep over it. modern engineering actually works.
A parent's asking if it's possible to raise tadpoles through metamorphosis like they do with chicks and butterflies — or if praying mantis eggs are a Calgary-friendly option instead.
Looking for 1 or 2 tickets to Black Country, New Road on June 19th if someone has extras they can't use.
Someone on Reddit's looking for where the historic Cecil Hotel sign ended up after the building came down years ago. Long shot but worth an ask—anyone know?
unwise is all we're saying—and the Calgary subreddit's weighing in.
Guy was out at Harvie Passage Tuesday swimming despite water levels dropping about 2 meters in a week. Said the water's cold but apparently not cold enough to keep him out.
Bow and Elbow rivers are above safe levels rn. Calgary Fire Department has a boating advisory in effect—stay off the river. High, fast-moving water and cold temps are no joke.
June's Pride Month in Calgary. Pride began as a protest, a demand for equal rights and dignity. To gender and sexually diverse Calgarians: you belong here, you always have.
Around noon Tuesday there was an incident on the +30 level in Bankers Hall and Core that triggered a lockdown. Stores closed, people sheltered in place for about 20 minutes. Not much info on what actually happened.
Someone posted a photo their grandparents took at Heritage Park in 2005 during a UK visit. Something in one of the smaller houses in the photo "shook them to their core" — Reddit's diving deep into what they might have captured.
Someone flew into Calgary on a whim Saturday expecting sun (they're from Vancouver) but got soaked instead. Been trying bouldering, restaurants, pool, Rec Room, but the rain's got them thinking about bailing on the one-way ticket. Asking for activity suggestions to give the city a real shot.
Reddit consensus: Kim Anh for a sub-$20 feed. Short thread but the answer's solid.
Someone in Glamorgan just got hit with a power outage around 2pm and then again at 10pm — the rest of the building and the whole street stayed lit. Reddit thread's split between "utility issue" and "landlord won't flip the breaker at midnight." Either way, the lost groceries hurt.
The old Hudson's Bay building downtown is falling apart. Windows boarded, exterior crumbling, and nobody seems to be fixing it. Concerns are mounting about how long the landmark can stay standing.

Someone threw a party at Saltlik's downstairs mahogany room (the steakhouse on Centre Street and 8 Avenue) and it was incredible — billiard table, karaoke hooked up to the TV, servers walking around with canapés, even a poutine bar. 17 people with an open bar and didn't exceed the minimum spend. 11/10 experience.
