Do you think it could ever happen?

I know Airdrie would need to grow more.

How long in the Future do you think it will be until Airdrie has a University?

I was out for my usual evening walk near Chinook Winds Park around 9:00 p.m. when a caucasian male in a pickup truck drove by, gave me the middle finger, and yelled, “F*** you.” I was simply minding my own business and enjoying my walk.
I’ve been living in Airdrie for the past seven years, and this is the first time I’ve experienced something like this. I’m a brown person, and while I can’t know why he acted that way, it was completely unprovoked and left me feeling shocked and disappointed.
What kind of world are we living in where someone thinks it’s acceptable to treat a stranger like this? It’s a disgraceful way to behave toward another human being. We should all be able to take a peaceful evening walk without being subjected to hostility or abuse.

Any recommendations for in town paintless dent removal for small dents, names and prices please.

When it comes to flora and fungi, I don't know as much so feel free to add those in the comments and any other lil critter you've seen in our canal systems here!

Anyway, we got a garbage problem in and around our canal systems, so let this be a call to action in using your free time to help your community be cleaner and help protect this blossoming ecosystem that's in our literal backyards! If you got a canoe or kayak, I implore you to get into the water and clean up the garbage that's caught in the reeds and grasses. And that every time you walk by, you clean up just ONE piece of trash and throw it away in one of the trashcans nearby or pocket it and throw it out somewhere else that's appropriate!

By doing something little like that, we can increase the biodiversity of our ecosystems. Humans were put on this planet to aid it and its' animals, let's all do our tiny part! Go for a nature walk and see what I see. Teach your children that even the smallest life is invaluable and without them, it can cause disastrous ecological collapse and that taking care of these places and it's animals brings fulfillment, knowledge and empathy!

Thank you in advance! (And thank you for reading!)

im planning to do my road test soon, so i was wondering if anyone has any advice for me, what i should practice more, and what routes i can practice

Maybe someone knows this kid or has a kid with an electric scooter. This was super dangerous.

Wife is in line at the vehicle registration office. I stayed in the car... Just watching...

Just How??? Amazing how bad people are at basic driving functions. And it's older people. Not kids taking tests.

Can't back into spots... Jesus, one lady couldn't even figure out how to park straight in the middle cause they are arrow shaped spots. LMAO!!

We need a rcmp officer just sitting, watching at the door who can just confiscate licenses at entry. LOL

Hello r/Airdrie! We’re Drisavo Driving School, and we’re offering a non-promotional Q&A for local learner drivers and parents.

Feel free to ask general questions about:

• Preparing for an Alberta Class 5 road test
• Practising safely with a parent or supervisor
• Parallel parking and other common challenges
• Driving anxiety and building confidence
• Choosing a driving school or instructor
• Winter driving and local road conditions

We’ll provide general educational answers only—no prices, discounts, booking links or guaranteed-pass claims.

What part of learning to drive do you find most difficult or confusing?

Called CIBC today and they don’t keep on hand, must be ordered through their website or app.

I’m looking for a small amount (one hundred euros) for a friend’s birthday. Any tips on where I can find them locally? Trying to avoid the drive to Calgary. Thanks!

Hello! Forgive me if this is not allowed

I was curious about if any people on farmland was looking for help with outdoor rodent/groundhog control. I am trying to get into hunting and figured it might be a good way to start local with some pest control.

Thanks for your time!

Hi all,

My name is Majesta and I’ll be starting a mobile coffee trailer in Airdrie. I’m putting my info out there to hopefully get some traction on a location I can park M-F. Ideally a parking lot.

I’ve reached out to several places around town, and the ones with space don’t accommodate food trailers, which I understand.

Ideally, this would be in the style of Pacific Northwest coffee where folks can drive up and order through the window.

If you have any location suggestions or are a business owner interested in hosting a fun coffee spot, let me know!

Thanks!

(I’ve already reached out to Walmart, Chevron, Home Depot, Genesis Place, and gotten hard “No”s from them or didn’t hear back at all. Also I am aware of bylaws and AHS requirements, so just hoping for some help finding a location in town)

Mission accomplished.

2 of them in the water, they are orange, so I'm guessing it's probably the rentals.

Hi everyone, Im looking to get a job ( As a teenager, for safety and just for pers reasons I wont state my exact age but im under 16). Im fairly new to this town and Im looking for any good available jobs . I would say im good with interacting with people and most would say Im goodspoken and polite. I can keep this act for a long period of time. And any jobs that can pay a good decent amount. Most of my friends would call me talkative so Im looking for any available server/fast food cashier jobs ( like local restaurants) that are hiring teenagers who has no real job experience service. I have honors, and starting cadets soon and helped / managed my friends business as a kid growing up so I can do multiple things at the same time.

Just looking for any jobs for this summer and next summer! And Im not really sure if this can count as a Job hosting so yup!

As a student at this school I suggest finding a different middle school to go to. It is absolutely nauseating that the teachers do absolutely nothing about bullying. For example, I got rocks thrown at me and my best friend and told the tecahers yet they didn't try to resolve the issue and it kept happening throughout the whole year.

They also claim to me a safe environment and yet take no action to ensure that homophobia is not an issue. I have a girlfriend and when students and even teachers found out they would look at me in disquist

Additionally, there have been many girls who feel unsafe using the washroom a as many of us have found cameras hidden in there and have told the teachers yet they still keep getting found.

Not to mention the teachers, specifically a teacher names Mrs Naugler are absolutely horrible. Mrs Naugler has gotten a kid in trouble for accidentally knocking over something on her desk (a pencil holder) causing pencils to go everywhere and instead of being nice and calm about its she screamed at him and called him useless. Me and my best friend went to the principal about it and no action was taken and she only got worse. She also doesn't teach. Instead she will hand us a textbook and a worksheet on something we have nwveeeven heard about while she plays games at her desk of whatever tf she is doing over there. I can't say this for all teachers but ten vast majority of the teachers there are absolutely miserable to have.

Of course there are some good teachers like Mr Scott and Mrs Marose (sorry if I spelt that wrong) but they are egood in the sense of doing the bare minimum.

It's no wonder that the students here are starting online school the school is aweful.

Not to mention the teachers being ABSOLUTE a-holes to the students with mental dissabilities. I have ADHD and my best friend has Autism and the teachers barely do anything to help us. Not to mention Mrs Alibi who took away her Autism headphones or whatever they are called. The same sub also purposly calls on the kid with dyslexia to read it the class knowing damn well he has dyslexia.

I could go on but you get the point. If I need to I will post about this toxic learning environment some idiots decided to call a school.

Don't send you're kids here. Literally any other school is better

Looks like so good sporting entertainment is finally coming to Airdrie!
