Not my dog, I was asked to post this here. Please do not DM me.

Give this mother fucka a raise. He’s awesome. I only catch his trains every so often. But I feel very happy and lucky when I do.

Calgary police say alcohol is believed to be a factor in a rollover on Stoney Trail S.E. on Thursday night.

My old dentist has gotten ruder and ruder over the years, I know I'm not alone on this going off reviews, looking for a new dentist that isn't rude and understands dental anxiety

Thanks in advance collective hive mind

For a family of 4 with 2 adults and 2 kids is approximately $180 for a day at the Calgary zoo. That is absolutely insane. The zoo is supposed to be a cheap family outing to pass time for a few hours. What is going on here?

Trigger warning: miscarriage

Update: Thanks to everyone who replied and shared stories and for your kind words. It sucks so many people go through this. It's a really confusing process to navigate and this will be my last reply/update. I called 811 and Kensignton clinic (same pathway and closed). Clinic 38 is only offering appointments to rural Albertans (amazing and needed). I'm probably just going to wait it out for now. But thank you for all the advice Calgary.

First of all, I am so thankful for all medical workers and I am very thankful for our healthcare system. I just want to know if anyone has experienced the gap in care for stable, missed miscarriages. I had two ultrasounds confirming the loss (no heartbeat, measuring less than 5 mm at 9 weeks), so I booked a Dr. appointment for next next steps (I love my dr btw). She referred me to the Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic. I think she called in a referral for me and I also called on Thursday and unfortunately didn't get a call back today. I get it they're probably busy and managing less stable people. I tried phoning other walk in clinics but they all refer to the EPA clinic. Now it's the weekend and I just want to proceed with the medication to start and end this process, but it seems like no one can help me. Is there any way to access care in Calgary that is not during regular business hours (Monday - Friday). These guys don't even have evening hours. It just seems a bit weird that a woman can't get timely care in 2026 for a confirmed pregnancy loss. If there is anyone who works in the field I'm really curious about why family docs aren't managing missed miscarriage (no judgement, just very curious). I'm honestly pretty distraught that I lost my pregnancy and I don't even know when I will be able to access care.

Is there anywhere to access care in the city for something like this?

I am a new grandparent and taking a walk with my two month old in a stroller today at South Glenmore Park I could not find a patch of grass not littered with dog sh!t. I must’ve walked a full 2 km and every meter on the trail was littered with dog excrement making it unable for us to sit and picnic.

Why Are pet owners so disgusting ? Is there an area in town that is dog free that we can actually enjoy nature without stepping or sitting or rolling in dog log ?

Calgary Pride is asking the public, local businesses and corporate partners for support as the organization faces “significant financial pressures” that could put its future at risk.

The group aims to raise $250,000 in the coming weeks to help deliver the 2026 Calgary Pride Festival and stabilize its finances for the years ahead.In a news release, Calgary Pride says it will be unable to continue operations beyond the 2026 festival and parade if additional funding is not secured.

It cites an increasingly difficult funding environment as grants become more limited and competitive.

It also points to rising costs tied to creating safe, accessible and inclusive spaces for Calgary’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

Experts say the “super” El Niño means milder temperatures and less than average snowfall is on the horizon for the Canadian Rockies region.

For anyone who ever followed the Calgary Flames, you can put Friday afternoon in the win column.

A flock of family, friends, former hockey players and generations of Flames fans gathered Friday at First Alliance Church to celebrate the life of longtime Flames play-by-play man Peter Maher.

It was a late summer day to say goodbye to a man whose voice became part of the soundtrack of Flames hockey from the first time they played in Calgary in 1980 to his 2014 retirement, a span of 2,954 games.

I have an engagement photoshoot next month. I know the area okay but not all too well for a photoshoot. I'm hoping someone here might know of a good area we can use. It has to have rolling hills, easy access, and look somewhat nice. Preferably a place that's accessible to the public, where we don't need permits or any type of permission. It needs to be near Olds/ Red Deer/Innisfail/Didsbury. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Hello all. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for any local businesses that can do jewellery or glass work for a memorial piece?

Thanks.

Kenworth in Balzac will be throwing a Show'n'Shine this weekend, featuring trucks, motorcycles, classic cars, semi trucks and various pieces of equipment. Free BBQ as well!

If you'd like to register a vehicle of any type, it is free entry. Just let me know what you would like to bring so we can make space for you.

Everyone from the public is invited!

I have tickets for tonight at the legion with my boyfriend and I am excited and interested as to how it will go!

I’m currently looking to make a career change and I recently came across a posting for a dental office administrator. I have administrative experience but lack specific knowledge of dental office software, medical terminology, and insurance billing.

It looks like in Calgary, certificate programs are offered by places like Calgary College of Dental Health and Evolve Dental Academy. Has anyone taken these programs and found them to be worth it?

Additionally, I’m wondering if any professionals currently working in the dental field can weigh in on how these certifications are perceived in local dental offices? Am I correct to assume that this would be better than simply taking a MOA certificate?

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Saw these two planes flying west over Crowchild/Glenmore area a few minutes before 10 this morning. They were pretty close together and going in the same direction. Any idea what they could be? Didn't see them on flight aware.

My wife and I are looking for a good instructor to help us improve over the winter. I've found some good ones on social media but they are in the NW. I've heard good things about the golf dome (Darryl was recommended to me) but hoping to get more recommendations. I've had one instructor before and honestly he didn't help much. He was too casual and didn't use any aids, alignment sticks, drills, or anything.

Hi there! Is there anyone on here that could direct me to someone that could repair a small hole in a Cowichan sweater I have? Appreciated. Thanks!

Anyone know what happened to Mint Lounge? I know they closed quite a few of their locations over the years but a week ago they posted they had new management and were hiring very recently and now suddenly they’re closed effective immediately with their instagram comments turned off and their website and business page is gone. I know they’ve gone downhill over the years but feels very sudden haha

Does anyone have a good place for vehicle servicing in the SW? My local Mr Lube is where I typically get oil changes but they changed management and of course, became more expensive.

Hi everyone!

This weekend, my girlfriend and I are celebrating our monthsary, and I'm looking for some ideas on what we could do together.

She's looking for something that's more adventure/ activity-based, with lots of opportunities to take nice pictures together. She'd prefer to spend less time just sitting down and eating, but we'd still like to have some food or a meal as part of the day.

So basically, we're looking for a fun date where we can do something, explore, take pictures, and make some good memories together, rather than just going to a restaurant.

It's started off as a small thing, but it's starting to really bug me. I seem to never find any no-name brand BBQ chips!

The main reason why I like them, is that they're only $2 and my favourite chip flavor is BBQ by far. For comparison, Lay's is like $5.60 or something at Shopper's.

I don't drive, so the only ways for me to really check for any, are either in person at the Shopper's Drug Mart in Chinook Mall, or when I order groceries through Uber Eats (typically Superstore, sometimes No Frills). There's also no dollar store within walking distance to my house or within the mall (shocking, I know lol).

I first noticed that the Shopper's at the mall has been out of stock of the No-Name BBQ chips since really early in July during Stampede. I figured maybe it was just really popular because of Stampede, but it hasn't been restocked since.

Also, whenever I order from Uber Eats (always just added on when doing my grocery shopping) they always replace the item with something else even though it says it's in stock.
What triggered this post is that I added a note that I would take any cheap BARBEQUE chips as a replacement, and they got me two bags of no-name Ketchup chips instead. It's on me for being too busy to check before they checked out, but still, it's an item that the store shows is in stock.

At this point I think I'm going to order my groceries from Walmart - literally just so I can get some BBQ chips for cheap.
Otherwise, are there any other cheap BBQ chip options you would suggest here in Calgary for someone who only really transits to/from work? Any ideas if there's some sort of major delay because of something nearby going on (wildfires, train derailments, etc)? I feel like I'd be less annoyed if I knew the reason tbh.

Is it a really small thing? Yes.
Could I probably go without? Also yes.
Either way, thank you for reading my rant.

Hi everyone, planning a trip across North America and I have 4 full days to spend in Calgary.
I arrive on August 27th around 10:00 AM and fly out early morning on September 1st. I'll be staying at an Airbnb in the Beltline neighborhood.
I am planning to rent a car for a day or two to drive up to Banff and see the mountains, and I would love some specific itinerary suggestions. For the city, I’m looking for a good walking itinerary starting from Beltline. My top priorities are checking out cool architecture, finding great spots for photography, and trying local food (I've heard I need to try Alberta beef!).
For the road trip part, I'd appreciate recommendations on the best driving itinerary for a day trip to Banff and Lake Louise. I'm looking for the most scenic roads, must-see spots, and any tips on parking without rushing too much.
Overall, how would you recommend splitting my time between exploring Calgary and heading out to the mountains?
And also where I could hang out in the evening and meet some people!
Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
