A massive pothole on the southbound QEII near 41st Ave just bent someone's wheel and took out their tire on the way to the airport. They're trying to make a claim with the province — but earlier reports from that same stretch (May 28 and June 18) haven't been fixed yet.

Finally some decent flying weather after weeks of rain and storms. The city's clearing up — safe to say most of us are ready for it.

There's a wild amount of water pooled near the airport after yesterday's rain—aerial photos show just how much standing water we're dealing with across the region right now.
A small paddling club in Riverdale lost its entire boat fleet and dock to the North Saskatchewan River in the last 24 hours after the heavy rain. The dock survived higher water before, but not this time—feels bad for this local community that actually uses the river.
there's a glizzy stand set up outside the legislature building right now if you need a quick bite between meetings or walking around downtown.
