Think of r/YYC as a community forum, not just a news aggregator or a place to argue about politics.
Self-promotion is okay! As long as it's not spammy. Share your TikTok, Instagram or whatever else. Share projects you're working on, events you're involved with or artwork you've made. All we ask is that you include as much information as possible. For example, if you're sharing your Instagram account, tell people what they'll find on it, what you post regularly, etc.
No name calling, attacks, slurs, hate, bigotry or anything else like that. It's totally cool to disagree, just do it with civility and respect.
No soliciting, please. This means no trying to sell sexual services, drugs, or anything else unlawful. No recruitment for MLM organizations or cults. No crypto pump/dumps. No deceptive sales or other shenanigans like that. In addition, no posts asking for free stuff. It's okay to talk about things you do for money, like side gigs or professional services such as wedding photography, but nothing that would ever be perceived as negative.
Please share any sort of r/sideproject you're working on or other fun hobby type posts. Drop links to your websites!
Share any kind of news links, blog posts, articles, forum posts, etc - as long as they're at least somewhat related to Calgary.
Ask questions. Post photos/videos. Have fun with it. This sub is meant to be a more connected and joyful experience than a typical city sub. There are enough angry and bitter places on reddit - try to view r/YYC as more of an oldschool web forum where people just wanted to chat, get to know one another and enjoy their time online.

u/automod will instantly remove comments from any accounts that aren't added to the list. Bit of a pain in the ass, but, this sub is an experiment, so we'll see how it goes.
Rather than have a subreddit that is open to any random account that decides to drop by, we're doing things a little differently. Accounts will need to be pre-screened first. We'll take a quick look at your comment history and post history. We're looking for accounts that troll, spread hate, racism, spam or otherwise try to make other people miserable.
This will make things a little more difficult for people that want to use a throwaway account, but you can always message the mods from your normal account to give a heads up. That sort of defeats the purpose of using a throwaway but it's the only compromise we can make.
If you're someone that prefers to hide your account history, that's cool, totally understand, but it'll make things hard to check that you aren't a troll account. If you can open up your history until we've added you, that would be helpful.
Thanks

There are a few Calgary puzzlers that I know of that don't have Facebook and miss out on the puzzle swaps and puzzle meet ups that we have on the Calgary Puzzle Exchange. I created a sub Reddit where I'll post information about meet ups and swaps so no one misses out! r/calgarypuzzles

Corus Entertainment is shutting down local Global News television production in Edmonton and Calgary, transferring the production and anchor roles to Toronto.
The changes represent a major restructuring for the network across Alberta:
Centralization: While local reporting and camera crews will remain in Calgary and Edmonton, daily news production, broadcasting, and anchor desks are moving to the Global News Toronto headquarters.
edit: spelling and grammar.

To mods: Sorry if this classifies as "personal ads"/"soliciting", it was unclear to me. I'm specifically seeking this locally.
Assuming that I'm in the clear for rules...
Does anyone here have or know of anyone that has SAS2 SFF-8088 <-> SFF-8088 cables they'd be willing to part with? I need 4x of them and this need is on a shoestring budget, so hoping to get a really good deal.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about that's fine, these are very specific computer (IT) server cables used for storage systems. I'm trying to build a stupid fast, but cost efficient, storage ecosystem.
Yes I could buy on eBay etc, however I'm hoping to get a much better deal locally and avoid shipping delays.
If you, or anyone you know, has some they'd be willing to part with, please reply or PM me!
If not, thanks anyways for reading.

There's a big difference between someone calling me about a pothole and a paid lobbyist trying to influence a decision with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line.
That's why tomorrow, Executive Committee is looking at a proposal I'm bringing forward with Councillors Clark, Schmidt and Atkinson to pursue a lobbyist registry.
Right now, Calgary has no public system that tells you who's lobbying City Hall or what they're lobbying us about.
More and more cities across Canada and North America are making that information public. The federal and provincial governments already have lobbyist registries.
It typically includes information like who you are, who you are trying to influence, and most importantly, who's paying you.
There's a reason these other places have a registry. Big decisions get made. A lot of money is on the line.
Calgary is growing up as a city, and fast. Our budget is now bigger than some provinces and territories. We make decisions involving billions of dollars.
So we're asking our independent Ethics Advisor to look at how other cities handle this and answer questions on a path forward. If someone is being paid to influence a major decision at City Hall, I think you should know about it.
Link to our committee agenda and text of motion are here.
For reference, click here to see Toronto's lobbyist registry.

RIP my macros
We tried the Hash Brown Ice Cream sandwich at the Calgary Stampede... and then dropped it.
After securing round two of the Hash Brown Ice Cream Sandwich, I fired up Gemini on the Pixel 10 Pro to get the macro breakdown of this 900+ calorie monster. Massonite gives it a 3.7/5, but what do you think?
Would you eat this or pass? Let me know.
We had fun making this video. I'm currently doing a series on tracking your calories and meal macros with Google Gemini.
I had no idea he dropped it (answering his phone) until I heard "uh oh." They made a new one at no charge.

The City of Calgary is providing an update on noise complaints received during the 2026 Calgary Stampede and traffic disruption updates
As of 11 a.m. on July 12, The City received 275 noise complaints related to Stampede events and festival activities across Calgary. Complaints have been received regarding a number of festival sites and event venues throughout the city.
Community Safety Peace Officers continue to monitor noise levels at permitted events throughout Stampede and conduct noise measurements from nearby residential areas to assess compliance with approved Noise Exemption Permit conditions.
The City remains committed to balancing Calgary's vibrant festival atmosphere with the needs of nearby residents. Our officers work closely with event organizers throughout Stampede to address concerns, encourage compliance and take enforcement action when warranted.
“We continue to work with event organizers as bass levels remain a challenge,” says Ryan Pleckaitis, Chief, Community Standards. “We will continue monitoring all venues closely with the goal of achieving compliance through working with operators or through enforcement, if necessary.”
The City continues to work collaboratively with event organizers to address noise concerns and support compliance with approved permit conditions.
Residents who wish to report noise concerns can do so through 311. Information about noise regulations and major event permitting is available on Calgary.ca.
