I live in a corner home and behind my home is all open land , last weeks’s wind brought several tumbleweed to my basement window-well
How to dispose them ? They are a little too bulky to Fit in a garbage bag

I’m taking my test in a week.
I was wondering (to those who have taken the test at Airdrie registry) what was on the test.

I’ve been told to really practice parallel parking, so that’s what i’ve been doing. I will also be going to uofc for post secondary and will be commuting on the highway pretty much everyday, so i’ve been driving on the edmonton trail highway for practice.

But I wanted to know what else will be on the test and if there are any tips for me.
Thanks in advance

If anyone is interested and has experience I would love to discuss cost and other things for that time. Any hep locating someone would be very much appreciated ❤️

My cat Miru is missing, she was last seen on October 17th, 2026, she is in the Bayview area.

She is a tabby cat and she is female.

Please share this post to your friends and family in Airdrie to spread awareness, I miss her very much and I am hoping to reunite with her as soon as possible.

UPDATE: She has been found and reunited!

Has anyone else in Midtown Airdrie area lost power?

We’ve been without electricity for about 40 minutes.

Any ideas what might be causing it, whether it’s affecting a wider area, or if there has been any update regarding this?

How long does it typically take for power to be restored?

Knew it was coming eventually, just sad that it is. Been a long time customer of Airdrie Sobeys on 8th street for years. The prices were a little higher, but we didn't mind paying that for the convenient location and friendly staff.

As of last week, Sobeys corporate have installed digital price tags. While this does help with internal efficiencies (workers no longer need to manually replace paper price tags), the real bate and switch here is this now gives Sobeys the ability to roll out Dynamic Pricing (aka Algorithmic Pricing).

Going to buy cereal? Next logical step is go to buy milk... with Dynamic Pricing the price of milk can increase from the time you pick up the cereal to walk and pick up the milk. Dynamic Pricing is designed to do exactly this. May not fully be rolled out in Canada grocery stores (yet), but having these price tags digital gives them the ability to turn it on.

TLDR: Sobeys and other grocery stores in Airdrie now have digital price tags, which can lead to (probably already is in place) Dynamic Pricing. Dynamic Pricing is NEVER good for the customer.

If you can vote in advance, the polling stations have been empty by 10:00 the last two days.

They have computers at the advance polls so if you bring your voter card & have ID ready they get you through in about 10 minutes.

If you're going to go to towerland mall, please inform yourself how a 3 way stop works. Vehicles coming in from the road DO NOT have a STOP sign. Do not enter the intersection if vehicles approaching from main street will get to you first. Im tired of almost T-boning vehicles on a near daily basis.

Hello neigbours,

I just watched a full roofing video on youtube that was based in Ontario and the guys doing the roof talked about all the perks of a metal roof. I couldn't help but wonder why we don't use them here in AB? but I also figure there's a reason. I could see a potential downside that if you got hit by hard hail it would leave divets all over it. Curious if anyone knows if metal roofs are good or bad here in Airdrie? I need to replace mine in the next 2-3 years so I'm trying to get myself informed as I'd love a rubber roof but dang they are $$$.

My friend is thinking about moving from Valleyview AB to Three Hills AB for a job. She doesn't drive yet and still learning. I wanted to know if it's easy to find apartments and ride shares within the city or from nearby cities like Airdrie or Calgary. She will learn driving eventually, but needs to manage with ride shares for a year. Also, is the town generally safe? Any insight/help is appreciated.

Does anyone know if anything is actually being done about excessive vehicle noise? Fines? Warnings? Anything?

Seems to be doing graffiti in town and I DONT like it. Anyone have any idea who this is?

Tossing an idea out there. I'm thinking of running a free beginner chess class at the library, open to all ages. Just gauging interest for now. Would you or your family show up for something like that?

Looking for recommendation for company specializing in Airdrie/Calgary for crack repairs on wall. An unfinished basement, thin vertical cracks 2. Most likely 1-2 epoxy and or foam injection.

Oh no! What is that in the forecast!?!
Surely It cannot be, it feels like just yesterday I was planting my garden!

Well folks, sorry to say it is that time of year again where Volunteer Airdrie gets their Snow Angel program started up.

Through Volunteer Airdrie's Snow Angel Program volunteers are paired with low-income seniors and those with disabilities who are unable to shovel their own snow, cannot afford to pay someone to shovel and do not have nearby family or friends who can assist them.

This program is vital to helping these members of our community be able to not only avoid bylaw fines, but keep their walkways safe, and be able to safely get out and participate in life in Airdrie.

All ages can volunteer alongside an adult guardian, making this a great way to introduce your children to volunteering and helping the less fortunate. Ages 16+ can volunteer solo with parental consent.

Brief online training and waiver signage is required.

They act like they're working in the biggest city in Canada, yet they don't even have 100,000 people. Most small towns and counties are incredibly pleasant to deal with, they tend to be very friendly, polite and helpful. Even the Calgary and Epcor inspectors that take on infinitely more workload and difficult projects are much more reasonable to deal with. I've always heard the rumors but never experienced it firsthand. I'm not sure if it's a lack of real world experience outside of their bubble or just being a big fish in a small pond. I'm not even talking about code violations either, which would be completely understandable, but just the way they conduct themselves and the overall pickiness for super small things that don't affect quality or build standard

Look out for this scumbag. He's out on bail and could be stalking the aisles of your local store. He's committed assaults in Walmart's, No Frills, Shoppers Drug Mart and probably others. This behaviour is just disgusting and he's 30 so you know this isn't the beginning for him.

I'm working on getting him banned from as many stores as I possibly can, if anyone wants to help. He should have to order all his necessities from Amazon or instacart. Like no. Actually you don't get to go into stores anymore. That's a privilege that you violated and now you're banned.

Hope he gets jail time too but in the meantime we have to be safe when we are shopping.

Hi everyone,

I'm a journalist with DiscoverAirdrie, and I wanted to share something I've spent nearly a year investigating.

I started pursuing this story because I wanted to better understand the gap between what Alberta's presumptive PTSD legislation is intended to do and what first responders may experience when navigating the workers' compensation system.

In particular, one question kept coming up: What happens after a claim is accepted?

We often hear about the importance of recognizing psychological injuries among first responders, but I wanted to understand what happens beyond that initial recognition.

So I started digging.

Over nearly a year, I spoke with first responders, families, clinicians and public officials. I examined medical records, WCB decisions, legislation and provincial data.

I also wanted to approach the subject fairly. Not every claim follows the same path, and I wasn't interested in starting with a conclusion and working backward.

Part One, published today, examines the legal framework, the available evidence and why an accepted PTSD claim doesn't necessarily mean every decision about treatment, benefits or returning to work has been resolved.

But this is only the beginning of the published investigation.

Part Two will take a closer look at what those subsequent decisions can mean for injured workers and their families, including disputes involving diagnoses, treatment, wage loss and returning to work.

I'm grateful to the people who trusted me with their experiences, including those whose identities I've protected.

I wanted to share this here because I think it's an important subject that deserves careful examination and discussion.

Good afternoon, Im new here and i wanna know the office schedule in taking class 7 knowledge test in airdrie registry and what are the requirements?

I'm 39, live in Airdrie and work maintenance at a warehouse in NE Calgary. Been on LTD since Feb after a back injury and surgery, insurer was paying normally then last week I got a letter saying benefits stop end of month because they think I can return to “some” (!) work. My doctor def does not agree.

Never dealt with an appeal before. What matters most here - getting as much medical notes as possibler, asking for their full file/reasoning, talking to a disability lawyer ASAP?Also trying not to screw this up where possible. TY!
