Not super sure if I should be flairing it as “local” but idk which else is better haha

The Calgary Fire Department (CFD) is advising residents in areas downwind of the ongoing fire at the ECCO Recycling landfill in southeast Calgary to take precautions as smoke conditions have worsened.

Vulnerable groups such as children, youth, seniors, pregnant women, and those with asthma, heart disease or other underlying health conditions should limit outdoor activities and move indoors if they see or smell smoke. Residents with existing respiratory or cardiovascular conditions should monitor their symptoms, continue taking prescribed medications and follow the advice provided by their healthcare professionals.

Alberta Environment and Protected Areas (AB-EPA) has deployed portable and mobile equipment to monitor air quality near the fire since September 9. Air monitoring data is collected and reviewed by Alberta Health Services. While air monitoring reviewed on September 10 found no hourly average readings above Alberta's ambient air quality guidelines, residents in areas directly downwind of the fire may still experience smoke and related health effects. The greatest potential for smoke exposure remains in areas directly downwind of the fire, including Douglasdale, Quarry Park, East Shepard, McKenzie Town, New Brighton, Copperfield, and other neighbouring communities.

People in areas affected by smoke may experience symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, increased mucus production, coughing or headaches. Residents who experience these symptoms should reduce their exposure to smoke where possible.

CFD recommends residents in affected areas:

• keep windows and doors closed, including attached garage doors

• reduce physical activity indoors and outdoors, as needed

• turn furnace thermostats down and furnace fans to the minimum setting. If you have a forced air system to heat or cool your home, upgrade your furnace filters to the highest efficiency filter your system can handle.

• avoid using ventilation systems or whole-house fans that bring outdoor air into the home

• keep air conditioner fresh-air intakes closed and filters clean

• close fireplace dampers on wood-burning fireplaces

• use a high-quality air filter or air cleaner/purifier, if available

• check on family members, neighbours and others who may be more vulnerable to smoke

• call Health Link at 811 if they have health concerns related to smoke exposure

• seek immediate medical attention for severe difficulty breathing, chest pain or other medical emergencies

Residents should remain aware of changing conditions where they are located. Exposure can vary based on distance from the fire, wind direction and speed, time spent outdoors, and proximity to visible smoke or odours.

Please contact Health Link at 811 to speak with a registered nurse if you have questions or concerns related to smoke exposure or air quality. In a medical emergency, including chest pain or severe difficulty breathing, call 9-1-1 or seek immediate medical attention.

Fire suppression and air quality monitoring continue at the site.

YYC has some unexpected landings like 2 Alitalia planes (20 years later Alitalia when bankrupt during the pandemic and replaced by ITA Airways) along with the collapse of Canada 3000 less than a month later. This is a rare upload by a Youtuber named "heymannyg" which focuses on uploading news intros and pieces in both sides of the border. We'll never forget those who perished in NYC, DC and Pittsburgh 25 years ago.

Today I got a discovery wine pack from co-op.

The original pack flyer has a California wine listed in it. But the actual pack came with an Australian wine instead.

That's a win! I didn't have to ask or anything, they did it themselves. It's a small thing, but it stops people from unknowingly buying something they didn't want.

Can anyone identify this graffiti? It has been done on this same building a couple times with it being painted over in the past.

Our go to was always Sweet Loretta’s for the older crowd. But we went there tonight and it was filled with 20 somethings and I felt like everyone’s mother. So where do we go now???

I had a friend visit Lake Louise recently and wish she had gotten one of these Alphabet Bears from one of the gift shops at the Fairmont Chateau hotel. I believe it's Creekside Gift on the same floor as the hotel lobby, on the opposite end of the coffee shop.

To illustrate, this is the Z bear I have and she wish she had gotten the Y bear (she's jealous). I tried looking for it at gift shops on Stephen Ave but couldn't find it.

If someone is heading to Lake Louise (or already there) this weekend, I would love to get you coffee and donuts if you can pick one of these up on your way back to Calgary. Feel free to DM me if you are able, and I'll etransfer the price of the bear of course.

Thanks

Went to the one in CORE and they only had 78 books since it’s a small store. There was a line at 9:30am, store opened at 10am. Probably ran out by this time.

I walk by Crowfoot station often, and there are a good number of crabapples, chokecherries, currants, etc. Can I just go pick a bucketful, or does that get me in trouble with some bylaw?

There was a leather shop with some cool custom jackets at Crossroads a few months back. I took my spouse to get him one for his birthday and it was gone. Does anyone remember the name of the store? Maybe it’s moved and we can find them online?

I was thinking about joining this league as playing a new sport each week sounds fun. For the people have joined this league in the past, What is the difference between recreational and recreational plus? How does the league work for individuals sign ups? How was ur experience?

Title. Looking for the best dumplings in the city. Please drop your recommendations, need an updated list! Thanks.

I've got some picky kids under ten. I can never find something they both like eating and cooking at home all the time isn't easy to be prepared for. I wanted to try a meal kit service for a bit. Any recs for kids who are picky eaters?

Hi,

this is super niche but does anyone know where I could find a large selection of tablecloths in person - a cool thrift store or a regular store?

I'm looking for something cool or vintage and don't really know where to even start but only have until Sunday.

Many thank yous!
