I've been looking for some of the best decorated houses to go and see this year and wondering if anyone has any they would like to share or if there is a map maybe that track this stuff?

Found this one in Woodbine sw right off 24th street any more like it?

Super gorgeous building, didn’t take any inside though ahahaha

hi everybody, my friend lost a cat and needs help especially from the carrington area😭if anyone can contact her if the cat is found, or if there are any updates i will be forever grateful

So I've lived in calgs most of my life atp, and I wouldn't say im well traveled (only been to s few cities in north America like Toronto, Vancouver, Dallas, NYC, Seattle, Atlanta, ect) but we really do have some amazing modern architecture here. Even without the Rockies as a backdrop, the combination of the Calgary Tower, the Bow, Telus Sky, Brookfield Place, among others, create a very striking image.

When I've been to other cities I've always noticed how a lot the buildings are very homogeneous and blend into eachother.

Idk, I was just thinking about it and appreciate the variety of architecture in our city that contributes to it being so beautiful. ❤️

I’m looking for places in Calgary where I can hang out for a few hours or even most of the day without having to buy anything. Ideally somewhere comfortable to sit, read, use my laptop, or even just pass the time, with free public washrooms available because I do tend to need to visit the bathroom more frequently than the average person it seems.

Libraries are an obvious option, but I’m curious if there are other places people would recommend that I might not know about, particularly places where you can comfortably spend a decent amount of time without needing to buy anything.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Just saw a post saying Walmart is coming to southcenter mall it will be two levels opening 2028… I think that’s gonna cause such heavy traffic and issues with parking what are your thoughts?

8th Street between 8th Avenue and 10th Avenue, now who wants to take this challenge!

Four students were pepper-sprayed, and one was punched near Saint Francis High School on Northmount Drive in northwest Calgary during the lunch hour, according to the Calgary Catholic School District.

In a letter to parents, the school principal Marilyn Nasse said the students were off school property, across the street from the school near a Winks convenience store when masked individuals pulled up in a vehicle.

Thank you to everyone that showed interest in making this happen for a third time!

Once again, this will be a casual meetup for guys who want to grab a beer, shoot the shit, and meet some new people.

Whether you're into a specific hobby or interest, enjoy sports, the outdoors, or just looking to get out and meet some new people and have a laugh. Feel free to pull up and join the conversation!

There will also be a toy drive component! I've partnered with 'The Magic of Christmas' to collect and donate new/unwrapped toys to families in need this holiday season (toy donation is optional). Anyone that brings a toy will receive a 1 hour gaming card for their arcade.

Hi all,

Would anyone have recommendations for a reputable night nurse or post partum doula that has experience with twins?

I am hoping to gift my sister and her husband with support to help them transition a demanding period in their life.

Any leads or recommendations are extremely appreciated

Anyone have any idea where I could find pictures/videos of some of the old Calgary zoo exhibits?

Not necessarily from the 80s or anything but at least pre-flood. I’m talking Creatures of the Night, South America house, etc.

I was trying to show some friends what it used to look like but can’t find anything!

I lived in Brazil when I was younger and absolutely LOVED this dish. I’ve searched everywhere (including Facebook marketplace) and can’t find anyone that makes and sells this dish. If you know of a restaurant or kind Brazilian that would make this for me, I would happily pay and be forever grateful.

Seen tonight around 8:38pm

Today, Calgary Police released their review of the search for 11-year-old Parker.

I want to talk to you about what worked, what didn't, and be completely transparent about what needs to change.

First, to Parker's family. No words will ever make this right. No report will bring Parker home. But his life mattered. And what we learn from this tragedy matters.

This was the largest missing-person search in Calgary Police history.

First, here’s what worked. We had more than 800 searcher deployments, including police officers, search and rescue teams, volunteers, and everyday Calgarians who stepped forward. The investigation received over a thousand formal tips, more than 90,000 social media messages, thousands of emails, and 10 terabytes of security camera footage. Police used drones, mapping technology, video analysis, and partners with other agencies to support the search.

They showed extraordinary dedication. Officers and volunteers worked tirelessly under incredibly difficult circumstances. Our city owes them a tremendous debt of gratitude.

But the review also identified serious gaps. 

For one, our systems weren’t designed to handle a search of this size. Tips poured in faster than existing systems were designed to manage. Information was spread across different platforms. Investigators had to sort through duplicate leads and coordinate follow-ups without one central system. Officers worked exhausting hours. Important information was difficult to pass between shifts. And responsibilities between different teams weren't always clear.

The people responding gave everything they had. But the systems supporting them struggled to keep up.

We also know there were serious problems with the initial 911 response, including a delay of approximately 17 minutes. The province is separately reviewing the emergency alert system.

These are difficult findings. Especially for a family that has already endured more than anyone should ever have to bear.

So our Calgary Police are moving forward with some critical improvements.

A central system to track every tip. Better technology to handle large amounts of evidence. Clearer leadership and responsibilities. Stronger plans to bring in additional officers. And better support for the mental health of those responding.

I want to be clear that the review does not conclude that different systems would have changed Parker's outcome. But we know there are things we need to improve. And we have a duty to act.

To Parker's family, thank you for your courage. Even in your grief, you've helped our city understand how we need to do better.

And to every officer, volunteer, search-and-rescue worker, and Calgarian who helped, thank you. You showed how deeply this city cares.

Lost Dog with no collar?

Saw this guy trotting around looking confused at ~6:15pm at the 0-100 block of Cougarstone Circle SW.

My sister and I called him over and he ran up to us, didn’t bark or bite or anything. Seemed friendly but scared (so not a stray or anything), was responsive to being called and chided over. (Sister and I simply called “Come here puppy”, and he did).

He ran up to someone walking their dog and was friendly towards the dog. The guy walking the dog managed to slip his leash onto the other dog too. He said he would take him to the West Springs Vet to see if the dog is microchipped.

I was looking for houses for sale and I saw that. A single detached home but there’s a condo fee?
Why? Is it like an HOA fee?

I used to go to tiptop tailor or brooks brothers downtown but they’ve both closed so now I’m at a loss for that sort of better than basic quality apparel.

I’ll be visiting Calgary this weekend and was recommended to check out the Pumpkins After Dark at the COP grounds. Has anyone been this year? What’s it like? Thanks in advance
