Just in case this is tl:dr Calgary Bike Swap is on May 4th at Max Bell Arena. But, if you have questions then please read below. First, we'd like to thank Calgary Reddit Moderators for allowing us to promote our non-profit bike swap event once. Full disclosure that we have a $2.00 admission that will be used to repair the donated bikes. More below. Why we do what we do - we’re Chris and Laura and we didn’t feel safe buying or selling bikes online so we founded, fund, and operate Alberta Bike Swap a non-profit that provides a safe place to buy, sell, and donate bicycles. If you have a bike to sell we’ll tech check that bike and run the serial number through our software to verify bike ownership because no one wants to buy a stolen bike. We’re proud to be the only Bike Index Ambassadors in Calgary. Want to buy a bike? Stand in line, suggest no later than 10:00. IF you can pay the $2.00 admission that $2.00 will go to repair the hundreds of donated bikes. Have a stolen bike police report? All the bikes will be entered into the swap by 1400, please come to our event at 1400 so that you can see for yourself that your bike isn't in our event. Calgary Police attend and support us and our event. The Calgary Police Mountain Bike Team are attending our event! The police and RCMP have seized bikes from online sales and pawnshops based on what we do, and insurance companies use our paperwork as proof. We added children's bikes to our events because it helps families. We work with over 30 groups to rebuild donated bikes too and have over 80 partners that help us help others. We work with every group in Alberta, except one: https://albertabikeswap.ca/strategic-alliances/. We're doing a bike drive for Wood's Homes to help them. If you have an unused or have outgrown a bike we have a partner that would recondition that bike for re-use. Please consider contacting us if you are putting on a community clean-up, we’ll make sure those bikes are re-cycled to someone that can use them (pun intended). Municipalities spend millions on cycling infrastructure, but nothing on cycling education. We fund legitimate cycling education through CAN-BIKE, which is the only recognized cycling education program in Canada and there are only four (4) CAN-BIKE cycling instructors in Alberta. Want to learn how to safely and proficiently? https://albertabikeswap.ca/education/ We have Facebook pages for Alberta Bike Swap and Calgary Bike Swap and we’re also on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. We also have a lot of information on our website: https://albertabikeswap.ca/ We can’t put our events on without wonderful people like you and we thank you for reading this, hopefully putting up our poster, and maybe following us on social media on LinkedIn, Twitter, FB, or IG. The swaps are run from our kitchen table by just the two of us, we do the best we can to help as many people as we can and every bike counts. Again, thank you to the Reddit Moderators for allowing us to post our event. submitted by /u/AlbertaBikeSwapBIKES [link] [comments]

I've lived in the Beltline for a few years and a new Dollarama recently opened at 8th St SW & 16th Ave SW and the Urban Fare across the street is converting to Save on Foods next week. I'm frugal so when I moved to Calgary (the Beltline specifically) a few years ago, I was disappointed at the lack of discount options in the neighbourhood. Yes there's Dollaramas along Stephen Ave & in Mission but the only discount grocery store is Real Canadian Superstore which for me is a 30 minute walk. This is definitely a neighbourhood that's a bit more affluent and easy to spend money. Most people seem to impacted by the cost of living. In the Beltline, there's a ton of rentals. A few years ago when I moved here, another Dollarama and a discount grocery store would have seemed out of place but I've found myself saying for the past 6 months that the Beltline needs a discount grocery store. I wondered why Safeway wouldn't convert either their Safeway or Mission location to a FreshCo. I want to get peoples thoughts on this. Is Save on Foods & Dollarama correctly reading their room? Do they see this as an opportunity to make money as people look to save money? submitted by /u/Poptart9900 [link] [comments]

Hello! We are starting a non profit art class space - thinking of doing drop in style where you can come in and do your own thing or follow an instructor at a set time - what would you prefer and are weeknight evenings better than weekends? This would be downtown and the idea is just to make a space accessible for folks to create without signing up for monthly classes. submitted by /u/teamvolly [link] [comments]

What's your go to place to grab a bottle at a reasonable price? I've pretty much exhausted the Scotch that Superstore carries. BSW on Mcknight has a pretty good selection with sales fairly often. Familiar with KWM but its a little on the pricey side. Are there any hidden gems, maybe a community liquor store that's a little off the beaten path?

As we approach the April 22nd rezoning meeting, I was thinking about this added density. If rezoning goes through a full size lot (50x120) will allow for 3 rowhouses to be built if the lot is midblock (or 4 rowhouses on a corner lot). This is increased density for sure, but has anyone actually seen any midblock 3 rowhouse designs? All I have seen on a 50x120 midblock lot are just duplexes with a basement suite (or two new infills). I'm genuinely curious if this large increase in density will even materialize. In a lot of neighborhoods (specially inner city) there are already tons of duplexes and infills. TLDR: Has anyone actually seen a rowhouses design on a 50x120 midblock lot? Or is the 50ft frontage midblock lots just going to be limited to duplexes and infills simply because of design/size regardless of zoning? submitted by /u/6pimpjuice9 [link] [comments]

Hey everyone. I have a bit of a strange request. My grandfather passed away on Friday April 5, 2024. He was a life long trucker for over 45 years. He lived in Calgary. As he retired 15+ years ago, we no longer have any contacts of truckers he worked with/alongside. With that being said, I’m looking for a last call for my grandfather to be played when I finish the eulogy at his funeral next Saturday April 27. If there are any truckers on here that would be willing to do a last call for my grandfather, it would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone! submitted by /u/Orbitchualawalabang [link] [comments]

We purchased a coupon book a while back but aren’t from Calgary, so it had been sitting in the centre console of the truck for a hot minute. Yesterday we were in the city and decided to give the book a little read, and found coupons for a place called “around the bend”. Off we went, and boy are we glad we did! Starting strong: The prices were great. You can imagine our surprise even more when a meat filled pretzel came out, bursting with flavour, home made sauces, and toasted to perfection. I had the California twist, and my partner had the Cuban (I believe) twist. Both were absolutely delicious. We topped it off with a three cheese pretzel, and left feeling happy and stuffed. Worth checking out!! submitted by /u/HelterSkelter94 [link] [comments]

https://tnc.news/2024/04/18/gondek-never-own-a-home-freedom/ Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek says the prospect of never owning a home and becoming a forever renter is a liberating experience. Gondek, who owns two properties in Calgary, made the comments during a discussion with the development company RNDSQR. “We’re starting to see a segment of the population reject this idea of owning a home, and they’re moving towards rental because it gives them more freedom,” said Gondek. “They can travel to different places, they can try out different communities, their job may take them from place to place and so people have become much more liberated around what housing looks like, and what the tenure of housing looks like.” ​ Gondek then went on to say that the idea of being able to own a home was like being “stuck in the 40s, 50s and 60s.” “As municipalities, we haven’t kept pace with that change. We’re still stuck in the 40s, 50s and 60s,” said Gondek. According to Gondek’s disclosure statement, the Calgary mayor owns two properties in Calgary – one in Panorama Hills and another downtown in East Village. ​ Gondek’s comments were condemned by Calgary Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner. “”If this isn’t a deepfake, this is a perpetuation of a dangerous myth that most renters are renters by choice and have disposable income to travel and the capacity to uproot their residence for work,” Rempel Garner posted on X. Gondek recently faced a recall campaign. Following the Recall Gondek initiative, campaign leader Landon Johnston is slated to hold discussions with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith regarding possible reforms to the province’s recall laws. Johnston handed in a total of 72,271 collected signatures. The campaign required Johnston to gather signatures from 40% of Calgary’s eligible voters, a total of 514,284, within 60 days. In the previous city election, Mayor Gondek secured 176,455 votes out of the 393,090 ballots cast. Although the signature count fell short of the target, Johnston viewed the campaign as a success. He embarked on the effort single-handedly and initially did not anticipate garnering any signatures at all. ​ submitted by /u/TacoShotz [link] [comments]

This was an article published 10 years ago. If you weren't in Calgary then, there was a recurring trope that Calgary would become the next Detroit. This article was by no means alone, it just represents a theme that was in the air then. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/this-canadian-city-could-be-the-next-detroit/article15820368/?service=mobile&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=Referrer%253A+Social+Network+%252F+Media&utm_campaign=Shared+Web+Article+Links I didn't believe it then, and we can see, a decade later that it didn't happen.
