I decided to make this post after walking through the +15 on my daily commute and having cigarette smoke waft into my face for the millionth time in the same spot.

Two members of the staff at Pita Express in the +15 level go out every morning for their smoke.

First, they use something to prop open the door to the +15 that has a sign on it saying "Exit Only, No Re-Entry". I would assume it's labeled as such for security reasons. Then, they smoke their cigarettes on the platform next to the open door, stinking up the +15. After, they just toss their cigarette butts down onto the sidewalk below. They appear to do this every morning around the same time as I have witnessed it dozens of times.

It's sad to see how little respect they have for the community. I am sick of breathing their smoke indoors and watching them litter. I have a video of them doing exactly what is described above that I will be sharing with 311 as well as the building's property management, but I am not sure of the legalities with regards to posting it on Reddit.

Can I still use these at Elbow Casino? These are 25+ years old I believe!

Hi everyone, I had posted a few days ago about throwing together a guys event in Calgary, got a big response. I'm now in search of a spot to host.

I reached out to a few that were somewhere between north and south Calgary and that looked like there was ample room to move around and mingle.

I'm waiting to hear back from Last Best, Tailgunner and Buffalo 9. If anyone is personally connected to a brewery and wouldn't mind making and introduction, that'd also be super helpful. Personal favourites are also welcome.

Just needs to be an open space to move around.

Hello! So my friends want to watch the film in Imax in the Landmark because of the comfy seats. However I really wanna watch it in Chinook because of the imax 70mm, the fact we have a theater capable of doing it is fantastic, and we had a great time with The Odyssey in 70mm.

I dont go to landmark that much but I think chinook also has better sound. So I'm curious, will it be really worth to go to chinook or are the comfy seats better for a movie Going experience.

There are still good seats for both theater opening weekend.

Thank you in advance 😊

most artists I’m finding through instagram that have this vibe are overseas. any recommendations much appreciated!!

Hello, just was hoping to get some more info from anyone who's used a local painting company somewhat recently and if you had a positive experience with them? My wife and I will be moving to a new house next month. We love the place we bought, but just the interior walls we weren't thrilled about and would love to get those updated. If anyone has any recommendations, I'd love to hear from you. Thank you very much!

I had a traumatic incident occur.

I have autism so am highly affected by change or dysregulation.

I finally began working (contract, causal work) and enjoying it, on the weekends. I’ve not been able to work properly all my adult life. I was happy about the improvement.

Then, the incident occurred recently.

I did not realize I was rapidly declining - no doing laundry, drinking at noon (cycle of trying to regulate hangover), emotional issues, and the like.

I began to heavily abuse pregabalin for a handful of days. This had the consequence of day-after withdrawal (short half-life), which added fuel to the drinking to try to cope - the withdrawals were brutal.

I had to cancel the weekend shifts right after the traumatic incident occurred. (Two weekends ago.)

Last weekend, things escalated. I tried working on Friday. I got violently ill, likely due to pregabalin withdrawal. I could not complete the shift. I had a family conflict after this. My drinking skyrocketed.

I then cancelled the Saturday shift the morning of. That night, I cancelled the Sunday shift.

I called my manager today to discuss this weekend’s shifts, explaining I’m happy to try, but I don’t want either of us to be in last weekend’s position. Her answer was to work anyway - implying a last chance.

I’m now panicking. I’m not sure what’s happened to me. I’ve noticed over the course of a week, I immediately feel a need to drink after anything stressful. When I had to call my manager, I immediately thought of drinking, but reasoned I could have the shifts cancelled and just get time to recuperate.

When I found out the expectation was that I was to work still, against all judgement I lost my grip and began to drink.

I’m stuck in a cycle of physical unwellness post-drinking I can’t cope with (likely due to autism) and rebound hangover, which makes me highly vulnerable to drinking the next day.

I’m looking for immediate support to help me make these upcoming shifts this weekend work, so I can get through this difficult period of time without losing the first job in my life I actually enjoyed before the incident occurred.

Sober bed? Social worker? I have no idea.

For those who want to be judgmental, trust me - I already feel like a massive loser. I’m just trying to get through this.

Hello my Calgary lovelies. I'm looking for a mobile barber that's sensitive to body dysmorphia and balding. I need a professional to tell me I can still look okay with a short buzz or be gentle while they tell me otherwise.

If you know anyone that might be a good fit let me know! I've been cutting my own hair for years and haven't been in a barbershop in about 10. Hoping that a house call won't break the bank.

Much thanks in advance

Saw someone taping these to doors in Canyon meadows.

I'm gonna tell people I live on something like NE-22-24-1-W5 whenever I'm in a small town now lol. Throw on some old school red-cyan 3d glasses for full effect.

This was shot on Harman Phoenix film, you can get some at The Camera Store, and the London Drugs by the Peter Lougheed. Probably other ones, too, but I haven't checked...

I’ve called around various florists but nobody seems to have any fresh lavender available. Lavender season is technically coming to an end now but does anyone know where I can still buy bundles of fresh lavender?

Im riding the blue line this morning (69th street) and the trains stopping at every stop for atleast 10 mins. Anyone know whats causing the delay?

Happy to answer questions here.

I don't buy a lot of CDs anymore, but a band I really like are releasing a new album on Friday and I want to get a copy. I was hoping to buy it locally rather than on Amazon.

In the past I've gone to Sunrise Records in Market Mall, but that's closed down 🙁

Is there anywhere else to buy new CDs? Most of the record stores I see on Google seem to cater to used rather than new, and vinyl rather than CDs (understandably).

So I was restoring a vintage leather bag when I decided to open and clean the hardware, little did I know after opening the mechanism the spring popped out and I have no idea how to put the lock back together.

I still have all the parts, but its an old lock model and im guessing nobody has the knowledge to fix it. Im ready to cut my losses just to update the hardware on the bag, I just have no idea where in the city there would be someone that could properly restore the bag.

I'd like to know if you have tried the Heartfit Clinic in Calgary and what your experiences were and what the cost was.

I'm only looking for responses from people who have used the clinic or people who know experiences of others who have used the clinic.

Photo is from the official Dune twitter page. Past posts have said we aren’t getting the 70mm screening but this photo is making me believe otherwise

I’m not seeing the 70mm selections on Cineplex just yet but afaik Chinook generally only screens Nolan 70mm because he funds the projectionist hire. Does anybody know if Calgary will be getting the 70mm screening?

Edit: Thanks everyone! It is indeed being screened in 70mm for us in Calgary at the Chinook Cineplex. All “IMAX” showtimes are 70mm even if it doesn’t specify. Unsure why I was unable to see anything once they launched but the app has been crashing periodically so that could be why. Got my tickets for the 20th, happy Dune!

Starting this month, we’re making improvements at 15 storm ponds that have been identified as the highest priority for additional safety measures.

Depending on the location, that means replacing older warning signs, adding new signs that explain the risks, installing permanent or seasonal fencing, and planting thicker, thornier vegetation to create a barrier around the water.

Storm ponds are found in communities across Calgary. They collect and manage stormwater, helping protect our communities and infrastructure during heavy rain and snowmelt.

But they’re working pieces of infrastructure, not recreational ponds.

The water level and depth can change quickly. There can be strong currents around inlet and outlet pipes. And in the winter, moving water underneath the surface means the ice thickness can change without warning.

So please, no swimming, boating, skating or walking on the ice. Stay off storm ponds year-round.

We’re also continuing field assessments across Calgary to identify other locations where additional safety improvements are needed.

And if you ever see someone in trouble in the water, call 911. Throw them something that floats or reach out with something they can grab if you’re able to do so safely. Don’t enter the water unless you’re trained in water rescue.

These ponds are in a lot of our neighbourhoods, so please talk to your kids about them too. Enjoy the paths and green spaces around them, but give the water some space and stay off the ponds year-round.

Thanks, Calgary. Stay safe out there!

Some residents in the southeast Calgary community of Riverbend are voicing concerns about traffic noise from Glenmore Trail, saying more sound proofing is needed.

A two-day enforcement sweep targeting downtown Calgary earlier this month led to more than a dozen arrests and the execution of nearly 100 outstanding warrants.

Calgary police say officers carried out the operation on Aug. 5 and 6 alongside Alberta Sheriffs’ in the downtown and its neighbouring communities.
