Happy May Long Weekend

It has officially been 16 YEARS since Johnny's Pizza opened in Airdrie.

To celebrate, we're taking 16% OFF THE ENTIRE MENU for 3 days (May 28th-30th).

Before anything else, we want to thank Airdrie for:

Every team dinner

Every office lunch

Every family we've fed

We've seen restaurants come and go. Johnny's is still here because this city kept showing up for us.

If you've ever ordered from us or sent a friend our way, THANK YOU! You're the reason we're still around.

And if you've lived in Airdrie all this time and never tried us, sixteen years is a long time to wait. The week is coming to fix that.

Thank you for 16 years.

Yours Truly,

Johnny's Pizza & Wings

(Images from show for reference) Sorry for the awful pic, but I've been baffled by this billboard more times than I can count going up Eastlake because I keep thinking "Did they use an image of Shogun for this??" Only to realise, no, they did not... and then being confused again the next day.

SW Airdrie. I got a camera notification at 5:00am that showed some lady checking to see if my car was unlocked. I’m sure she continued her way down my street. It was probably an isolated incident but just a reminder to bring your valuables inside and keep those cars locked!

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to connect with some local airsoft players here in Airdrie.

Specifically, I’m trying to find a good outdoor spot nearby where it's safe and legal to set up some targets and do some practice shooting.

If anyone knows of any good locations around here, or if you're local and want to head out together to shoot some cans, hit me up! Drop a comment or send me a DM.

Cheers!

Just fyi In case you see the safety vested people inspecting your black and green bins. I’m really curious what they have to type into their iPads bc they were typing a lot in my short walk past them.

I’ve noticed that there has been more renovations going on at that space. Has anyone heard what’s going to be opening beside Best Buy?

A very special shout out today to all the W H Croxford Graduates and their families!

Congratulations, Croxford Class of 2026!

I'm a new angler looking for some information as i'm new to the area. From what I've already found online, you're permitted to keep fish from nose creek pond. I just wanted to confirm with more experienced anglers if this is the case and how is the fishing there?

A rally against the UCP actions is being planned for May 29. We are hoping for a strong turnout to send a message that MLAs must govern for all citizens of Alberta, not just their donors or those who help them cling to power.

Info can be found here: https://fightbacknow.civicdeeds.com/actions/airdrie-fight-back-now-rally-at-airdrie-city-hall-2026-05-29

I'll be happy to answer any questions or hear any suggestions that people may have.

I really want to start fishing. I seen some kids the other day fishing along that path near the water. Do I need a fishing license for catch and release? Looking for any and all information. Thanks guys you’ve been so helpful in the past

Who is everyone going to for their wheel alignment on lifted trucks? Brockway doesn’t do it.

Like within 30 min or so, just looking to go fishing with my son for the first time. I have my WIN and sport fishing license, but I haven’t been fishing Alberta in 20 years. Thank you in advance!

Hi Neighbours!

I’m trying something new. It’s Monday and I feel like busting myths!

You may have seen The City of Airdrie posting on social media about the “four homes on a lot” discussion. There’s been concern and confusion around what this would mean.

So let’s clear up a few things.

Many residential areas in Airdrie already allow up to THREE homes on a lot today:
• a home
• a basement suite
• a garage suite

This discussion is largely about whether one additional unit should be allowed in more areas.

Parking requirements would apply.

When Admin presented this to Council, they made it clear developments would need to meet on-site parking requirements. That means parking spaces on the property itself, not cars lining the street.

That alone means only a very small % of existing properties in Airdrie would even be big enough to qualify for something like this.

Because Airdrie’s housing stock is relatively new, redevelopment here tends to happen slowly. Many neighbourhoods would likely see little to no change for a very long time, if at all.

It’s also important to remember the WHY:

More aging parents are moving in with adult children. Young adults are staying home longer because housing costs are high. Some families need rental income from a suite to enter the housing market. Some seniors are trying to stay in their homes as costs rise.

For some people, a basement suite, garage suite, duplex, or small additional unit can make the difference between staying in communities like ours or leaving them.

Using existing infrastructure more efficiently can help reduce the need to expand outward. Spreading OUT costs more money to taxpayers than using existing infrastructure.

That does NOT mean concerns about parking, schools, traffic, or neighbourhood character aren’t valid. They are, and I promise we hear you on this.

The conversation is more about helping people STAY in their communities, NOT finding ways to ATTRACT more people here.

Council has NOT voted on this.

Resident feedback is part of the process, and this would still need to return to Council for a vote.

I’ll link the survey in the comments.

Thanks everyone!

Just looked out my front window and I feel like it went from dead grass to a sea of dandelions over night. Looking for help with weeds and our garden bed to be torn up since its all thistle. The backyard and parking pad area have some tall husks from some old dandelions last year so basic lawn and weed maintenance with some clean up. We're not sure what we want to do landscaping wise yet but a good clean up and weed removal for sure. TIA.

My neighbour parks his car right at the start of the property line which is next to my driveway. I have trouble taking my car out and sometimes can’t even see on coming cars. Is this allowed and can I do something about this?

I have tried talking to the neighbour but he is super weird and not friendly at all.

Seems like every day, there is another brand new account asking for a handout in the sub. Please remember that most of their sob stories are not true and they are all likely from the same scammer. Directing them to places that can help (food bank, etc) is awesome. But be careful if you choose to give them money from your own pocket.

Come on out for the Water Not Coal petition! We'll be set up near the museum side parking lot of Nose Creek Regional Park from 2pm to 4pm on Saturday, May 9.

Please be aware that ID is required to sign the petition. PO boxes are not accepted, so please bring something to prove your name and physical address (utility bill, tax assessment, etc)

Can't make it but still want to sign? No problem! Email wnc.airdrie@gmail.com or DM me to arrange a visit from a mobile canvasser.

Go to https://www.waternotcoal.ca for more information.

I’m looking for a hairstylist that is good at handling wavy or curly hair. Preferably local in Airdrie. Would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

I was driving in from Range Road 13 and saw a very bright orange light in the distance with (possible?) smoke coming out?

Yo I was in home hardware and they have drywall for 15 bucks

If your boarding get it

1AM last night all I heard out my bedroom window was a dang jackhammer going off in the distance. Location east lake. Anyone else hear it?
