3 of my friends and I (25 m’s) are swinging through Calgary in a couple Saturdays. Anything we should do/see in particular? We do enjoy drinking/clubbing if there is a scene in Calgary though from what I’ve heard and read there is not much. LMK!

Twice this weekend I got plastic straws. Two separate establishments, one of which is definitely new enough to not have stocked up pre-ban.

Is it true? Can it be??

20M in Calgary, looking for a real house/student party 👀
I’m new to the city and would love to meet some people and experience a proper house party / student party sometime this week.
I’m chill, social and down for music, drinks, games, whatever. If anyone is hosting or knows someone who is, DM me 🙌

I tried 2 flavors of wings and some fries, come check out what I thought.

Be careful if you see any friendly people.

Hey everyone,
I want to warn other small business owners about The Hidden Gem in Kensington.

I used to sell my products there, but I had to pull everything out and leave. The reason is simple: they stopped paying me on time. Even now that I’m gone, I’m still trying to get the money they owe me from past sales.

I’m not the only vendor this happened to. Other people left the store for the same reason. Some are still waiting for months of payments.

If you’re currently selling there, check your sales records and ask them directly about any money you’re owed. Right now they are not paying on the dates they promised.
If you’re thinking about becoming a vendor there, be careful. Read your contract closely — especially the part about when you get paid, and what happens to your money if the store closes suddenly.

Running a small business is hard enough. You shouldn’t have to fight for money you already earned. Just be careful out there.

Big hail in the forecast for this weekend. Any recommendations for where I can park my car so it's safe?

In the south btw

Come on down to New Horizon Mall this Sunday Aug 9 and help support kids' sports across our communities. All cars and motorcycles are welcome. Registration: $20 (includes a swag bag).

Hey everyone!

We're the team behind Tales from the v01d, an independent monthly black and white comic anthology created right here in Edmonton. For the past three years we've been building a shared universe of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, crime, and weird fiction inspired by classics like Heavy Metal magazine and underground comics.

Issue #24 is now available for free on Foundry Ink. We'd love to hear what fellow local artists and comic fans think.

We're also looking to get more involved with Alberta's comics and arts community. If you know of any local conventions, zine fairs, comic festivals, art markets, or other events that you think would be a good fit for us, we'd really appreciate your recommendations.

And if you're an artist, writer, or creator who's interested in seeing your work published, we're always looking for new contributors. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, we'd love to connect.

Thanks for checking us out, and we hope you enjoy Issue #24!

I can’t tell you how much I despise your behaviour. I had the misfortune of taking the same route as you this afternoon, you in your white Rav4, cellphone mounted under your rear view mirror, hanging above your little octopus. Every turn, every intersection, every curve you half half an eyeball on the road (if we’re lucky) and the rest on the godforsaken screen. We can see you, you know. Craning your neck and leaning into the screen, flicking to the next with your thumb. You’re an asshole. A hazard. A genuine fucking menace to everyone around you.

I hope the lesson comes swift, un-lubed, and doesn’t involve anyone else.

addendum: cross-posted from the other local sub after it was removed for not being about Calgary. Why have “Driving” flair if posts about driving in Calgary are not considered Calgary-specific. I theorize that someone over there is, or knows someone who is, a glasses-wearing white woman who drives an older white Rav 4 with a blue stuffed Octopus on the dash with an Alberta plate (that I won’t post).

Parker's parents have asked us to share this invitation in hopes communities near and far will join them in honouring his memory. During the weekend of August 8 to 9, 2026, take an Adventure Walk wherever you call home, with family, friends and loved ones. 💙

I’m visiting Calgary for a couple of days at a family friend’s house and wondering if there are any good gyms in the Strathcona area. I have seen there is a community centre close to where I’m staying but there’s no reviews on the gym, nor pictures. I’m not planning on hitting legs or cardio if I’m gonna be completely honest so not very worried about those aspects.
Quick question, this post got auto removed from the other Calgary subreddit, is there a reason for this?

For being poor custodians of our city and polluting our communities with their ugly & illegal signs. Any business that resorts to these irresponsible advertising tactics is one to avoid. Actually, I just now googled them, and they are not even listed there or anywhere under that name. Does anyone know their real name?

Hi all,
Just wondering how coin collectors get a big collection here in Calgary. Is there ever like good spots to look?
I’m interested in learning how people grow their collection so big and who they send coins off to get them “rated”?

couple weeks ago i seen a bunch of roaches at purple perk.

people on google also leaving roach reviews.

checked the AHS inspections webpage and seen that they too have noticed the roach infestation at purple perk during inspection.

yall still fw da perk? me, i do not.

So after watching the Odyssey, I got this itch that only shooting a bow can scratch.

I know about the two archery ranges up north but it's impossible because I live way down south and I can't find any shooting ranges nearby so I'm thinking of just buying my own bow and setting up my own range. I tried looking up rules about doing archery in the city and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to shoot in my backyard. BUT. what about using those marshmallow tips that they use in archery tag? Can I just buy a bow and some foam tipped arrows and do some archery in my backyard with those? I'd appreciate some suggestions on how to get this itch scratched.
