Booked a flight for the end of November to go from EIA to Kelowna for work. I fly out Sunday AM, event is Monday AM. Direct flight, no transfers. Chances I'll make it there at least sometime Sunday? I've never flown with Flair before and have heard some horror stories, but work says I need to take the most cost-friendly option and they were over 200$ cheaper round trip. submitted by /u/LetsGitToasty [link] [comments]

I'm newish to the city (pandemic transplant from Vancouver) and take a bus and a train through the inner-city to SAIT, daily. This will be my first winter taking transit. Does anyone have any insight into the safety of the Red Line when it's dark out or in comparison to taking the train into downtown Vancouver? For context I'm female and not tough looking! submitted by /u/russie_eh [link] [comments]

Hello! Long-range weather forecasts can be unreliable but many of them appear to show that daytime temperatures will be higher than normal for October 2022. Nighttime temperatures will drop below 7 degrees Celsius though. In recent years, it was normally advised to consider changing to winter tires around mid-October to mid-November. But with higher temperatures this October, is it better to wait till November? For those that need to book tire swap appointments ahead of time, when are you booking it for? p.s. It can definitely help to have the basic tools to DIY because you don't have to worry about long-term weather forecasts as much and can save money after two seasons.

What are the cheapest options in Edmonton for tooth extractions? Is there any home remedies that might work for the pain? taking some Advil and orajel but the pain is getting worse at times, a friend mentioned ground cloves? Will Listerine cause more problems or will it help? working with limited means so cheapest options would be appreciated. Thank you submitted by /u/hogwartshoneycruller [link] [comments]

I’m interested in moving to Edmonton. I don’t want to drive and I walk a lot. My question is how reliable or timely do the sidewalks in Edmonton get plowed after a snowfall? Also, it seems there are Bike/Walking Paths running parallel to the main arterial roads. Do these get plowed as well or are walkers S.O.L? submitted by /u/glasshalffull23 [link] [comments]

So my partner and I own a house in the suburbs, been living there a little over a year and we have renters in another house next door. The neighbourhood is pretty new, our house was only built a year ago, we don't even have fences yet. A few months ago we introduced ourselves to the neighbours and brought them some baking. The renters have visitors that blast music from their cars, loud parties on the weekends... it's annoying being forced to listen to it but it's during the day. They also often have pounding music into the night (sometimes past midnight) that we can hear from our bedroom. But the thing is, most of the time it's just the bass beat pounding that we can hear, it's faint but it's constant and makes it hard to get to sleep. At times it's been loud enough to rattle things on our nightstand. I imagine they must be playing it pretty loud for it to be heard in our house next door. We have spoken to them twice about it, they haven't bothered to turn it down. At this point I want to talk to their landlord but the renters were dodgy about giving me their phone number. I don't know if they would qualify for a noise complaint, because the music is somewhat quiet from where we hear it. What should we do? submitted by /u/sweet_as_3-141592653 [link] [comments]

My wife is having the ladies over tonight (with kids)... I'm encouraged to be out of the house for the evening. What should a guy do?! We are very new to Calgary, so heading to a friend's place isn't an option... as closest friend is about 4 hours away. Looking for recommendations or ideas on how to explore Calgary, catch an event, or anything really! submitted by /u/Definitely_NotJohn [link] [comments]

Over the last month I've reported 10 dead street lamps in my neighbourhood. The city teams fix them pretty quickly. So if you see a dead street light, submit a request online or call 311 and they'll get it dealt with. I think submitting it online is easier because I can screenshot Google maps, draw in the bad fixture and upload it with my request. When I've called it was a bit of a pain to explain which one was dead since the 311 people are seemingly just looking at Google maps to figure out which one you mean anyhow. You can submit a request in about 5 minutes online: https://311.edmonton.ca/reports/list_services ​ If you wanted a hand on crafting the message, here's how I normally word it. "The dead fixture is on the north side of Whyte Ave. It's the fourth light from 99st when heading west. It's in front of the Red Pony and has a speed sign on it" Streetlights make our neighbourhoods safer and keep our city looking nice! submitted by /u/kulps [link] [comments]

Connie McCrae is an indeginous woman who attended residential school, and Janine is her daughter or granddaughter, I can’t remember. In EPSB’s Truth and Reconciliation presentation today, Connie sang an indigenous song she wrote, and Janine played the rhythm on the drums. It was so wholesome and made me feel so happy. Connie had a huge smile on her face as she sang her song in front of so many people and they looked like they genuinely enjoyed it and were having fun. They did such a heartwarming performance that really shows how you can turn your life around as long as you stay strong and optimistic, even if you went through terrible experiences in the past like Connie did. submitted by /u/That_Rotting_Corpse [link] [comments]

Unfortunately the season will soon be upon us. Every year the first real snowfall results in hundreds of accidents in one day. Let’s try to minimize that. Please have your vehicles ready, winter tires installed, wipers in good working order, old batteries replaced, and a snow brush/ice scraper in your vehicle. Remember the roads are extra slick that first snowfall because there is no sand/salt on the ground yet so drive extra careful. Each season also brings us new drivers who have never driven in winter either so exercise some extra patience! submitted by /u/MGarroz [link] [comments]

I was walking around Ellerslie area and there's a dog crossing the street going back and forth and almost getting hit by cars. He's mostly black, medium build, very friendly and approached a lot of people with dogs to play with them. I don't believe he has a collar. He was mostly in the area of the Seventh Day Adventist church next to Save on Foods on Ellerslie. But he keeps crossing the road back and forth, and thankfully cars keep stopping for him. His luck can only last for so long. If this is your dog, please go and search the area. I am worried for the poor dog who doesn't understand he has to use the crosswalks. Sorry I completely forgot to snap a picture and I'm not in the area anymore. submitted by /u/peacey8 [link] [comments]

Whether you are just getting behind the wheel or just coming to our beautiful city, these tips are sure to help you become a successful Calgary driver! PLAN AHEAD: Is your exit coming up in 1 km on the right? Make sure you are in the far left lane. When it is time to exit, put on your signal and come to a complete stop. Everyone else must yield to you and you can slowly and safely exit. Missing your exit is not an option. After all, time is money! Merge Accordingly: Make sure to merge at LEAST 30-40 kmh below the speed limit. Doing this ensures everyone else will slow down and remember: slow means safety. Drive efficiently - The speed limit is a suggestion. Driving 160 kmh makes it more efficient and you burn gas for less time! Make sure to keep up with your friends and family: 20-30 mins of driving is an awful long time to be away from someone. Make sure to keep up with them by texting and calling them while you are driving. They will be happy you did and will love you even more! High Beams are sexy: It is safer to drive with high beams because you can see farther. Other drivers like it so much they just may make way on the road for you! The louder the better: Guys its no secret! Studies in the scientific journals show that the louder your car, the more bitches one accumulates! So what are you waiting for? Take some friends at 2 am and go rev that engine as loud as you can! No such thing as emergency: Drive as fast and as close as you can to emergency vehicles! Cops love it they will wave to you. Plus, you can get a closer look at car accidents! Chill Out! Driving and commuting is stressful enough as it is. Kickback, have some drinks with the boys! A couple shots and beers and you won't even remember the commute! Feel free to drop some more tips if I missed any! submitted by /u/Far_Muffin6540 [link] [comments]

I’m following the announcement of the “Downtown Recovery Coalition” and their new website yegdowntown.ca This group makes zero sense to me. First of all it’s nearly entirely occupied by corporate interests, with no real input from downtown residents. Secondly, it’s literally the same small group of individuals that put themselves at the centre of every “downtown group”, these are the same people involved in receiving and distributing Downtown Vibrancy Grant. The same individuals who lobbied against the pedestrianization of 102 ave. The only action they called for that has any real clarity around what they want is asking for more police. I also feel that the police have been underserving downtown, but what a lacklustre call for action from this group. We don’t need a “Recovery Coalition” to advocate for that. Just go register to speak at EPC meetings. I’ve been living downtown for nearly ten years now and watching this group for two years give or take. I’ve gotten to see really clearly the work they do. When it comes to “advocacy” it’s so clear to me that these people are just making busywork for themselves in order to remain relevant. It’s ridiculous how underrepresented residents are downtown and how over represented businesses are. If the city decides to do another vibrancy grant there seriously needs to be better accountability and transparency around who’s deciding where the money goes and where it goes to. Where is the Downtown community league? Or any other resident group. How did the downtown culture get so dominated by these people? submitted by /u/EdBone3005 [link] [comments]

Hey Calgary - We are here! The City of Calgary Land Use Bylaw team is working to change the City’s zoning bylaw, with the goal of allowing more rowhouses, townhouses, low-rise apartments, and flats in the city. Do you have questions about the "missing middle" or the possibility of new housing forms? Join us Today between 1:00-4:00 p.m. to Ask Us Anything about the three zoning improvements we’re taking to City Council on October 4th for a decision. The zoning changes are: A new zoning district that will allow for more ground-oriented homes to be built (referred to as “missing middle”) Improvements to the existing rowhouse zoning district (referred to as R-CG) Simplifying and reducing mandatory minimum parking requirements for multi-residential development Check out https://www.calgary.ca/planning/projects/housing-choices.html for more information on these proposed improvements. Thanks to the moderators for giving us a chance to connect with you all! EDIT: 4:09 p.m. - Thanks for all the questions, everyone. It's after 4 p.m. and the AMA is now over! Have more questions?
