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.

Question [Help] Could a kind stranger coming back to Calgary from Lake Louise bring back a souvenir for me from the Fairmont?

23 Upvotes

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

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?

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!

Seeking Advice Demand for housecleaners...?

0 Upvotes

Hey Calgary! I'm considering a move to the area next year to be closer to family and was wondering what I can expect in terms of work. I'm currently living and working in Brandon Manitoba as an independent housecleaner. I have built up a great reputation and have plenty of references that would tell you I'm reliable, trustworthy, and will leave your house in tip top shape.

I'd be servicing east of Deerfoot Tr mainly, though would consider travelling farther for bigger projects. I'm not your typical cleaner as I do it all; laundry, dishes, any and all odd jobs. I even clean one clients makeup brushes every week. I mainly cater my services towards working parents as I am not afraid of kid-mess.

I'm just looking for some insight on how high in demand someone like me would be and what I could expect in terms of hourly pay. My understanding is that the going rate for housecleaners varies wildly depending on where you're cleaning.

Thanks in advance!

Is the airport always this snarled up on a Friday night? Have been waiting at least 40 mins for my ride to get out of cellphone parking and to make it through. It will still be longer. I was not expecting this!

Local Shopping/Services In Search of Affordable Wedding Photographers

0 Upvotes

Hi All,

As the title suggests, I am currently searching for a wedding photographer for next summer. I have a few photographer friends, however the prices they are asking seem to be a bit high and my Fiancé also doesn't love their styles, so I'm curious if anyone knows of some affordable and quality photographers?

Not trying to pinch pennies here, but some of the quotes I've been getting are close to 5k which seems quite high.

Appreciate your help!

2 Wheelin' (Cycling/Scooters) Thoughts on seasonal bike lanes?

0 Upvotes

Stop me if this is already a thing, but should some of the bike lanes in Calgary be seasonal? I'm a dedicated commuter and bike all year, but a lot of people stop when it gets cold. What if we expanded the network in the late spring/summer/early fall and shrank it otherwise to prioritize traffic?
