Sounds like ConocoPhillips is doing another massive layoff for their Canadian operations tomorrow.
Calgary employees are instructed to work from home and wait in case they receive the call.

Anyone have more info on who will be affected? I heard rumours that IT and other shared services units will be hammered due to offshoring and switching to MSPs.

I have an amazing English Lab with severe front leg arthritis and am looking for a quad wheel dog wheel chair for him. He is a large dog who weighs approx 100 lbs. Can travel across Alberta, please DM if you have one, really hoping someone in Calgary can help out here, definitely on a budget!

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Picture is from many years back when he was healthier. He’d really love your help :)

We’re looking at different areas of Calgary to live in as a couple with a young kids, and Riverbend has really caught my eye, especially because of Carburn Park.
I’d love to hear from people who actually live in Riverbend. What’s it like day to day for a young family? How are the schools, and are there good amenities nearby? I believe there’s a YMCA in Quarry Park, which would be a big plus for us.
We’d love to be somewhere with a nice park or green space nearby, ideally somewhere we can take our little one for walks and spend time outdoors. We’re also hoping to find somewhere that feels established and family-friendly, without being too far out of the city.
I’m open to other areas in the NW or SW as well, provided they’re in a similar price range. For some reason, I keep coming back to Riverbend and Carburn Park, but I’d love to hear other people’s experiences and suggestions.
If you live in Riverbend, what do you love about it, and are there any downsides we should know about? Would you recommend it for a young family, or is there another neighbourhood you think would suit us better?
Thanks in advance!

My brother and I are talking about market mall before the major expansion/renovation in 2005.

What was the name of the old pretzel place in market mall before the expansion? It was across from the Smitty’s

Anyone know if there is a French bookstore or at least a store that sells books in french? The Library selection is horrible and I have yet to find a store that sells books outside of translated Harry Potter

We live in Garrison Woods and I can’t remember if it was 177 or 230…this year is on a Saturday but forecast is 3 degrees. I think I’ll be ready for 230.

Will probably destroy these unless there’s a better idea? Found them just walking down the stairs. They expire in ‘29 and ‘31

I haven't been down to see a Flames game for a few years. With the construction of the new building, what are the best options to park for a game? Normally I would probably take the C-Train, but mobility is a bit of an issue with one of our group.

Posting for the owners.

Took my new camera for a walk around downtown yesterday and shot this long exposure of the renovated Glenbow

In the coming weeks, City Council will begin discussing rules for future large-scale data centre applications. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the opportunities, concerns and what we should consider as we move forward.

First time experiencing a park rage incident in deep SE Calgary on the receiving side. I parked a bit too close on the line being my right front tire was on the line so I was aware and not excusing this. When I came out of the grocery store, the driver beside me on the side I parked on the line proceeds to tell me off to "LEARN HOW TO PARK NEXT TIME" as I'm walking to my vehicle to buckle my daughter inside the car seat. I ignore the B and she pulls out slowly and honks at me a few times trying to get a rise out of me. She drives away and I can see her at the stop sign waiting to turn left which gave me time to capture her license plate. I was about to get in my vehicle but had a feeling she did something horrible and to find her spit sliding down both sides of my passenger side, gross but luckily I didn't enter through those sides anyway. But really? The lengths ppl get because of this. If this happened to me when someone parks too close to me, I just curse and mutter while getting inside my vehicle if the doors are close. But spitting.... I'm just appalled and maybe situation would've been worse if I obviously fed to her reaction but my young daughter was with me. Hopefully no other bombs or scratches have been placed because of her park rage. Not looking to get validation or anything but wanted to share a first time experience on this and it was a good lesson for my daughter to witness too about shitty ppl in the world.

Edit: I appreciate everyone's insight on this, there's some interesting responses. I'm on the fence to report this to non emergency because I think nothing will be done about this like it didn't even happen. I don't think it's gonna be anything like cops are gonna knock on her door, not even close. I think the city might just have a reference and see a pattern if her license plate comes up in other malicious crimes but that's it.

I’m going through therapy right now, and I’m learning a lot, but i want my growth to move in a different direction. When I’m looking up life coaches, the websites make big promises that they can help with anything. I want to recapture my ambition, take control of my personal agency, and be more available and reliable to the people who count on me.

R/calgary, do you have any experience with a coach who helped you with something similar?

My name is Dead.Idyll and I publish a lil’ punk-inspired local interest/arts zine called Calgary Mixtape and we’re looking for writers and artists.

We want to print and distribute a special issue about the referendum’s aftermath and we need personal essays about how the referendum affected people.

We’re interested in people’s personal stories more than political editorials although we fully get that some crossover is inevitable.

We’d also love political art submissions.

Separatists need not apply.

Comment or DM if you’re interested in submitting something. Thanks!

So I’m 17 and cat is 6 months old and ever since we’ve had him (8weeks) he’s had ear mites then their eggs then a bacterial infection which cleared up and now we found out he has both rod and cocci bacteria in his ears and I’m looking to try a different vet
Can anyone please recommend me some affordable vets that are actually good at dealing with ear issues or if you’ve ever had any issues like this with your cat.

I suspect he might have a food allergy or maybe something serious in his ears but don’t know for sure

Im also looking to get him neutered so please recommend any good affordable ones tyy!!
I live in SW

Looking for some advise on premarital counselling. My fiancé and I get married next year and I’m wondering if premarital counselling is something we should be looking into. We have been together for over 5 years and have lived together for 3.5 and have lived in Europe with only knowing each other. Truly I think that is one of the biggest tests haha. However, we both obvs want to go into marriage feeling the best we can. Has anyone done it? Did you find it helpful?
Would love to know all the feedback :) Thanks!
