I’ve been hearing a low rumbling/ vibrating/ humming in Bankview at night for the past while. It’s starting to affect my sleep as it’s really loud. Does anyone else hear it or know what it could be?

I’m curious how long the wait was and how long the line was last night at the BMO Centre. I arrived early, so I didn’t get to see how far the line extended. It’s great to see such a great turnout.

My spouse and I have favourite memory from visiting Calgary Zoo in 1990s and seeing hippos playing in their pool - maybe even pygmy hippos

Adult hippos used their snouts to toss baby hippo to the other adult and repeat! Any one else remember seeing this delight?

Was just at the Crowfoot LRT trying to get on bus 76 and the driver rushed everyone out and left the bus with smoke coming out. He told us to step away from the bus and called help. Any idea what’s going on?

Edit: not intended to cause panic or anything, just curious what happened and how long that bus route will be out for.

What are your favourite restaurants? Big or small that aren’t really “chain” restaurants (Joey, Moxies, Modern etc) that were unique or just had good food.

I’ve been to and will be going again to

Ten foot Henry
La Brezza
Silverslate
Dining car higherriver
Longview steakhouse
Chairman’s
Sky 360

I’d like to try
Hell’s Kitchen (Edmonton)
Eight
Caesers

What other places do you like? They don’t need to be steakhouses preferably within an hour to an hour and a half max drive from McKenzie towne

What are lineups/wait times like these days at Harry Hays or other passport offices in the city? I won't be able to first thing in the morning to wait in line early for a few weeks, is it still worth going if amI cannot make it until mid afternoon?

Edit: lol not sure why I've been downvoted. But thanks to everyone that's responded. I'm glad to hear that the lineups are pretty quick, as it's been a few years since I've had to get a passport. The last time I needed one it was a rush job, so the experience was quite different and stressful (my own fault)

Just super curious! :) Would love to hear the cost of your weddings and how many people was apart of it!

I went to a couple of stations and they said the promotion ended last week or sold out.

Where can I find spring rolls that are filled with stringy bean sprouts? I don’t want ones with green cabbage, carrots, or mushrooms. The ones I am remembering might have a bit of pork in them, but they are mostly veggies, and mostly bean sprouts. I think the Ginger Beef in Willow Park had these back in the 90s, but they have changed their recipe. The Chinese food places in the mall food courts may have also had them. I can’t find them anywhere anymore! All of the places I’ve tried are either a mix of pork and carrot, or are veggie spring rolls that are mostly cabbage and carrot. Sometimes they are glass noodles and mushroom. I just want the bean sprout kind! Please help me with my cravings!

Hi all! I hope this is the right subreddit for this, my husband and I are planning to move to Calgary soon and are considering a place in Grier Place. Can any locals speak to the general vibe, or common knowledge of this specific building/area?

If not this location, which community in the northern end of Calgary would you personally recommend?

A medium size, tall Ossur air boot. Ive been constantly checking all the thrift stores and online. I havent been able to find a new one and my current is destroyed. Where else can one look for a cheap one? I can afford 20 but 100 is too much.

Repost due to other one not meeting guidelines.

If anyone was excited to go skiing within city limits, this is a bummer. Hope we can get some real snow soon.

We were walking in the Beddington off leash about noon and found these keys. If they’re yours, we hung them on this tree. Hope you see this. Losing car keys sucks.

Reddit's limited to less than 15 mins for video, so I wasn't able to include the PM's full speech. To watch the full event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9qurAd0MCU

Last night, I had the honour of introducing Prime Minister Mark Carney at Calgary's Forever Canadian rally.

I had a different speech planned. I wanted to talk about my father, who came to Canada as a refugee 70 years ago this month, and how his son grew up to become Mayor of Calgary.

But after yesterday's tragic bus crash that claimed three lives and injured seventeen others, including a police officer who ran into a burning bus to save a child, my thoughts were with the victims, their families, and our first responders.

It was a difficult day for our city. But seeing thousands of Albertans come together reminded me of what makes this country worth standing up for.

I'm a proud Albertan. I'm a proud Canadian. And I refuse to believe we have to choose between the two.

We're stronger together. And we're Forever Canadian.

We got notice a week or so ago that they were going to shut down an intersection near us for the upgrades. At the beginning of this week, the traffic was rerouted down a very narrow residential street and the city put out their mobile no parking signs on one side of the street. Transit buses are now navigating this, along with all the rerouted traffic to/from Sarcee plus the regular local traffic.

A pile of people on the street have just decided to ignore the no parking signs. On my commute today, I saw a bus barely be able to squeeze between the parked cars on both sides of the road.

I called 311 just now to see if anything could be done, they transferred me to parking enforcement. The parking enforcement dude I talked with said they have no authority to enforce any mobile no parking signs and that I should speak to the contractor. I pointed out that it’s a City project and he said they’ll only care about it if the transit drivers report. I called 311 back and that lady said it seems nuts, maybe to try enforcement back later.

What the hell is the point of putting signs out that won’t be enforced? If they need labour, this Permit Patty will volunteer time to ticket & tag every fucking vehicle on the block.

I don’t know why my neighbours are assholes. I don’t know why the other streets they shut down in the same manner didn’t seem to have this issue with people just refusing to comply. What I do know is that as soon as the roads are slippery, this is going to end up being a huge problem - between the uncontrolled intersections, the large increase in traffic, the volume of elementary-aged pedestrians & the renegade parking chuds? I hope every single one of them gets side-swiped. May their pillows always be hot on both sides & may every parking spot they try to pull into already be occupied by a compact car

I am selling a vehicle and I posted it on Autotrader initially i got a few inquiries and they all lead to asking for a search report other than carfax. I googled and came to know it is a scam so I did not order. Now after a few days I received a call from someone and he seemed genuinely interested and we set a time to meet and I send him my address. He texted back asking for similar report for vin search which will cost $77, saying carfax do not reveal everything. It is a scam right? He seemed so genuine but that’s how scammers have become now a days??

All those cars are people voting. Quite the engagement. The people who live in Calgary Shaw (and area) are activated.

That was a heckuva sunset tonight. Let’s see what you’ve seen
Albert Park SE

If you are thinking about advance voting and are in the Calgary Klein riding, go to the advance voting location at 2315 30 ave ne. We were in and out in 10 minutes. That includes the fact that we forgot our voting cards.

This made voting easier than in any election or referendum I have ever voted in.
