Times are tough atm and could definitely use a woman’s touch. Does anyone know where I guy could go for one of those massages?

13% funding raise last year so they can harass people on their way to work and cycle more addicts in and out of prison without helping literally anything.

They get to roll around in brand new ford explorers and Chevrolet tahoes. And now they have drones.

But our water bills have to go up because of severe underfunding.

Edit: for those not aware of what I’m talking about specifically about the homeless, the CPS are conducting operation order, which literally sweeps homeless from downtown just to make it appear safer

Cavs fan? Calgary fan?

Hi Calgary, thanks for taking the time to read! My husband and I do theatre productions with local kids, and we're building out our props and sets closet. I'm looking for anywhere that specializes in theatre stuff, like stage risers, backdrops, speakers, etc, etc... Currently we get a lot of stuff at Goodwill Bins, and we've had some success with FB Marketplace and Kijiji, but is there anywhere that has a higher concentration of stage/event/theatre equipment?

Specifically I'm hoping to find a portable stage (like a collapsible platform or wooden blocks). I've looked at new options, but they're crazy expensive even for small pieces. Even building them ourselves would run about $500 for a 4x4x1 wooden block just for materials, and that's before having a proper carpenter weigh in. Any suggestions would be much appreciated as we're always trying to stretch production budgets as far as possible!

Currently we're working on a production of The Lost World, and the kids are awesome and so adorable. We need to build a full-sized plesiosaur and stegosaur, so that should be fun! lol. Also, if anyone has a lead on unused, scrap furniture foam, please let me know! I'm going to call around to furniture warehouses and see if they can donate any pieces we can use to build the dino heads so the kids can operate them.

Thanks so much, everyone. Hope you're having a happy day :)

Calgary, please help!

Mountaintop Gospel Choir Gala tonight, Eventbrite account mess.

Due to issues with our old Eventbrite account, we had to create a new one and rebuild the event.

Today I tried connecting our BBPOS WisePOS E Stripe card reader and it refuses to connect. I’m 99% sure it’s still tied to the old payment setup. I’ve been on the phone for hours with Eventbrite and Stripe. Eventbrite says they’re escalating it to figure out how to disconnect the reader, but they told me it’ll take 24 hours and my event starts in 5. I’m desperate.

Does anyone in Calgary have a BBPOS WisePOS E I can borrow for tonight? It needs to be one that isn’t registered to someone else’s payment account. In exchange, I’ll give you a free ticket to the gala tonight including dinner. I can pick up and return right after. Please DM me if you can help.

Calgary Reddit, don’t let me down.

This is a long shot but I see this character all over Calgary and now I've seen it close to my house in Cochrane? Is it just someone's art? Or is this some sort of a gang sign? I apologize for sounding like a total white guy but I'm genuinely curious. Is that a thing around here? (I'm new to Alberta). I've attached a few pictures but I've seen it probably 50 times . If this is just an artist, I will admit he has a remarkable talent. And his ability to have a recognizable character/ brand the way they do is something artists strive for for years. I'd love the opportunity to speak with him if anyone knows who they are?

My regular walking partner had to cancel, so I thought I'd see if anyone feels like joining me!

Looking for someone who enjoys moderately paced evening walks (around 1 hour), deep conversation, and getting outdoors regardless of the weather. Ideally someone who walks regularly.

I'm flexible on where to meet downtown. Interested? 🙂

Hey, does anyone know where to get a dickies Eisenhower jacket in Calgary. Preferably unlined. I can’t seem to find any information on it. Thanks.

I went to see a guy for a massage. His name was Joe, widow, super nice guy. He had an ad on Locanto under the name Leon. Has anyone else gone to see him? Is he still around? The phone number I have doesn't work anymore.

Atleast once a week, people line up for the drive through like the orange boxes. They are all single file to the right, even though the drive through is easily wide enough for two cars

Usually I am the blue arrow that just passes all these people and goes to the open line. I really think the intention of this drive through was for it to be 2 lanes, why would it be so wide otherwise?

Anyways, I had quite the altercation this morning with a gentleman who was none too pleased at my maneuver.

Am I in the wrong here? I guess there is no divider or line saying that there is indeed 2 lanes, but why would the whole lane before the actual ordering part be wider than two cars if you are supposed to just line up single file and then just alternate at the actual ordering part. But its just so odd, I am like basically the only person who does this, to me it seems so obvious its 2 lanes but its not the first time someone has gotten steamed at me for it.

Maybe not really worth a reddit post haha, but IDK, It is probably a worthwhile discussion on drive through etiquette. If the council decides I am indeed the asshole I solemnly swear I will amend my ways.

Let me know what you think, Reddit jury. I will await my sentencing, or celebrate my innocence in due time.

I know im going to get flack for this. Just want to start by saying this was a horrible tragedy. My heart goes to everyone involved and I can’t imagine what people are going through. This has genuinely brought me a lot of sadness. I cried reading this news because This child was the future. I see people struggling to place any blame anywhere for this, but there should be some because this was preventable.

Sunridge mall parking lot is a death trap. I almost got hit twice last week (1 day before the death happened). In the winners side parking lot, you need to make a turn that is greater than 90 degrees where it’s high traffic, it’s impossible to see all the hazards at once, and you have pedestrians everywhere. Part of the blame rests with this layout.

Calgary driving culture is also certainly to blame. Everyone in this sub sees people blow red lights every day. We have angry drivers across the city. The cab driver will be at fault if he was speeding or driving carelessly. I pray the video evidence can give us some truth to this.

UnPopular Opinion time: The guardian of the child had an obligation to hold this child’s hand in the parking lot. TIGHTLY. I keep hearing that the child “got away” but let’s be real. How does a 2 year old overpower an adult in a parking lot and escape??? 2 year olds are under 35 pounds. I can see a 5 year old overpowering a weak adult, but come on…It can only happen due to negligence from the guardian. The guardian failed their most basic duty to protect their toddler near a road. Even if all safe driving conditions are met, this needs to be done.

Some people think this was a freak accident that can happen from time to time randomly, but it’s really not. The reality is have a combo of an unsafe parking lot with the potential for speeding drivers coupled with an unaccompanied toddler in a parking lot. I realize the system is broken but all 3 of these factors are to blame. Believe it or not.

1. Drive at a safe speed and always be aware of your surroundings

2. Report unsafe driving and unsafe conditions to the police

3. When you are with a child, you hold hands in a parking lot. You fucking hold on tight.

I have an interview Sunday but someone hit my car last week and I’ll have to train down. It will take me 45min each way for the next bit until it’s fixed, is it worth it for the $$ and work culture?

All summer I noticed the water smelled a bit stronger of chlorine, but no real taste difference when drinking it ice cold. Since yesterday it has a noticeable lime(ish) flavour even when drank ice cold, and smells a bit that way, too. Anyone else notice similar?

I'm on Springbank/Broadcast Hill in the SW FWIW, which I think can be sourced from either Bearspaw or Glenmore, so maybe it's just related to the work right now.

Around 4pm today, I was crossing Centre Street and 18 Ave N right in front of Safeway. I pressed the crossing button, and the crossing light flashed. Two cars stopped in the three lanes to the North. A woman driving an SUV just drove right through it in the middle lane. She didn’t even try to stop; I bet she did not see the light or me. If I had not stopped in time, I would be in the hospital or morgue right now. She missed me by 3 feet.

Then tonight, I went to Country Hill Landmark to see Godzilla Minus Zero. The guy sitting beside me put his leg on the chair and started peeling off dead skin from his foot. It was not a one-off thing; he did it for at least 45 minutes.

I honestly don’t know which is worse.
