I figured since I needed a workout and wanted to save on gas, I'd get a bike and ride to and from work downtown. It only adds fifteen minutes to my commute instead of being stuck in traffic. We're lucky to have bike lanes, and with gas prices going up, I'd totally encourage Edmontonians to think about an alternative of travel with the warmer seasons 👍😀🚲 submitted by /u/Loucrouton [link] [comments]

We had a weed service spray our front and back yard twice in a summer many years ago. It kept the lawn pretty much weed free for a few years. I don't remember exactly how much we paid, but, think it was just over $120. Since then, we removed the front lawn, just have the back lawn and now have a dog. I might be looking for a unicorn, but, here goes: I'm looking for a lawn / weed spray service that uses a product that does a good job in killing weeds, does not use something that is toxic to dogs or requires them to be off the yard for more than a few days and is also somewhat reasonably priced. I have looked through google and Reddit and have not found something that hits all 3 of my requests. I'm hopeful someone on here reading this post will have a recommendation for a company that will match what I am looking for. submitted by /u/curiouskittyblue [link] [comments]

Looks like the construction on 114th at the intersection of Barlow SE hit a gas line or similar. All access to 114tj around the Deerfoot INN and Casino is blocked by fire, ATCO gas, Enmax, etc... From the smell in the buildings nearby it seems to be a gas line or similar was hit and ruptured. Best to avoid the area if you can.

I have a 6-year-old and 9-year-old (in July) and cannot afford $600+/week for day camps. Depending on the day, I need to be at work at either 8:45 or 7:45am, so the Park n Play thing won’t work for me. It seems like dayhomes tend to only take kids under 6. I don’t have family here that’s able to help. They’re currently in before care (which is also killing me financially) and they don’t offer affordable summer programs. I was previously working part-time in retail, so I’d go to work when my partner got home - no childcare needed, but I was working evenings and most weekends. No time with my family. There’s gotta be people in a similar situation… What are you folks doing with your kids over the summer? submitted by /u/llama_sammich [link] [comments]

Hey everyone. I found a really cute house in the Keheewin area and just wondering for those who live in the area your thoughts about the area and how's the crime rate? I looked at the map, but there's about 250 reports, but they were all from a totally different area so not sure why the map shows 250 crime reports near the house I'm looking to buy and the addresses are from all over, so I thought I would get first hand info from Reddit.

This is a rant. Look, I hate being the POS complaining but the cars parked on our street were not issued parking tickets during spring sweep— and our street is dirty af. How come they weren’t issued tickets?! Three weeks ago, my brother was issued a parking ticket because he parked on a street scheduled for a spring sweep (good for him). It’s so fucking unfair. Is there a way to have our street re-sweeped?! Or to report this? Do better people! submitted by /u/Potential_Sorbet_761 [link] [comments]

So great to see Farkus trying to take a stand and calling out the Smith and the UCP. “When you see the province focusing on more of these symbolic virtue-signalling things like which books belong in libraries, what time the clock should be adjusted to, even the latest stuff about bike lanes, it’s a lack of focus on the priorities that matter.” Farkas said he thinks the bike lane debate is a “channel changer” away from other controversies the province currently faces. submitted by /u/yycsarkasmos [link] [comments]

We hope to see many people out tonight in this beautiful weather. There is no reason our water should be tampered with for billionaires. Our water and our mountains are precious so we need to do our part to stop further destruction. Existing coal mining has already affected fish downstream. Once our water is contaminated, there is no going back so please come out to find us tonight. NOTE: We will shut down if it starts to rain. Wet pages are no good. Want to sign Water Not Coal but can't get out to meet us? We've got you covered! We're also happy to stop by small group gatherings - backyard hangouts, coffee meetups, neighborhood get togethers - whatever suits you best. Just send an email to [mobile@waternotcoal.ca](mailto:mobile@waternotcoal.ca) and one of our local volunteers will arrange a time that works for you. When you email, please include your name, street address, and phone number so we can connect easily. submitted by /u/BroadLock5051 [link] [comments]

I was walking my dog on a multi-use path in our neighbourhood (Woodhaven/Edgemont) on Sunday morning and letting her take her sweet time sniffing, catching up on the local news, gossip, etc. when I realized she was eating something. I went to inspect it after shooing her away and was surprised to find chunks of what looked like fresh ground pork or beef. We live alongside a ravine and get a ton of coyote traffic along these paths so I initially thought it was maybe coyote leftovers or something that was dragged from someone’s garbage. I bagged the remaining meat in a dog poo bag, intending to throw it away at the next garbage can, until we came across a second meatball about 200 m further down the path. This one was the exact same type of meat as the first chunks we found but was round and obviously handformed with a little pile of leaves deliberately arranged over it like a tent… this is what made the alarms in my brain start to go off. I bagged the meatball and we turned for home, immediately calling the pet poison helpline on our walk back. Given the suspicious circumstances and the recent reinstatement of strychnine, the helpline recommended not to wait for our dog to show symptoms and head to the emergency vet immediately. The staff at Boreal were fabulous– they got our girl in quickly and decided to induce vomiting right away, then ran blood and urine, which confirmed that she had indeed come into contact with something toxic– her ALT (liver enzyme) was eight times higher than it was on bloodwork we coincidentally ran a couple weeks ago, before an unrelated minor surgery. After about five hours of monitoring at the emergency vet, our pup was discharged with a pile of meds to support her liver over the coming days and instructions to come back for a few rounds of repeat bloodwork throughout the week. At this point, her values are trending in the right direction but we won’t be out of the woods fully until the end of the week, in case whatever was in the meat was some type of slow-release substance. We unfortunately still don’t know what was actually in the meat. The vet was able to rule out common human drugs/narcotics based on our dog’s urine test, but can’t actually test the meat itself. We did report this situation to EPS via the non-emergency line and they have been taking it seriously, but unfortunately can’t test the meat either. This is ultimately the reason I’m posting this– does anyone know of an avenue through which we could get this meat tested to find out what it was my dog ingested? At this point I’m not sure how much it would influence her treatment plan or future care, but it would help alleviate some of the anxiety and uncertainty we’ve been facing. I would also like to be cautious about how I share this story without definitively knowing that the meat was indeed dosed with something or poisoned; the last thing we need is more clickbait-y, ragebait-y misinformation circulating and making people afraid to walk their dogs. TLDR: We found a couple of meatballs left along a walking path in our neighbourhood. My dog ate one and it ended up containing some type of toxin. Neither the vet nor EPS have the resources to test the meat to find out what it contained; do we have any other options for testing? UPDATE 1: I've had a few questions about the specific location these meatballs have found, as well as a request to share the EPS file number. The file number is #260373637, and this shows the location in more detail. submitted by /u/end0rfun [link] [comments]

A big thank you to the firefighters who worked quickly to contain a grass fire in the Nose Creek valley tonight. Seeing the response firsthand was a reminder of just how challenging it can be to access parts of the valley during an emergency, and how much gratitude is owed to the first responders who work so hard to keep people, homes, and our natural areas safe. As we head into warmer, drier weather, please let this serve as an important reminder to be extra careful in our parks and natural areas. Campfires, fireworks, and off road vehicles are all prohibited in the Nose Creek valley. Please also be sure to dispose of any smoking materials responsibly - small actions can have significant and unintentional consequences. All of this is also an important reminder of why establishing a designated park and greenway through Nose Creek remains a priority. Creating a safe, accessible, and well used public space means more stewardship, more eyes on the valley, and improved access for emergency crews when every minute counts. We will share further updates as more information becomes available. submitted by /u/YuleLoveYYC [link] [comments]

I met this cutie out on a run today (oh wow username checks out 😹) and this sweet cat had a limp, severe matting on their back and was very dirty. I’m wondering if I should do anything — if I called animal control to get this poor thing looked at, what would happen? I guess I’m worried they could end up in a shelter (do we still have kill shelters here?) and meet a sad end. They seemed to be hanging out at a particular house, so would animal control speak with the owners? Or are there any other options? Any advice? submitted by /u/meow_run2 [link] [comments]

Been cogitating about something lately after a conversation with a friend. She shared this story about her old workplace when she just started her career in Calgary in 2019. She had hit a big personal milestone and her manager somehow found out through the grapevine. The next day she walks into the office and they had a surprise planned. Whole team pulled together, cake, food, leadership came by, and they gave her a expensive gift she genuinely wasn't expecting. She showed me a photo from that day and it looked so merry. Even just hearing her narrate it years later felt oddly cathartic honestly. And I've been working in Calgary long enough now to notice something feels different today. I mean people are still very kind, there are pizza celebrations but something softer and more personal feels like it's been slowly atrophying! Like workplaces are coasting on the motions of warmth without really maintaining the fellowship underneath. Has the pandemic created a kind of emotional conservatism at work? Curious if others have noticed this? Has your workplace kept that warmth alive or do you see a palpable change post pandemic? submitted by /u/sowr96 [link] [comments]

I am writing this because I used to be afraid to call 911 myself. Anyways, now that I have called several times I know that it is not that time consuming or difficult and you are NOT obligated to stay and help the person. Important notes: They will ask for a location and why you are calling and that is necessary. They will ask for your name and phone number but if you cannot give those just tell them why. Remember these services are to save lives not to go after callers. They will ask some other questions such as breathing, if they were able to talk, age, any hazards noted, etc. Answer as best you can. If you don't know the answer that is okay. They will tell you the ETA and if you stay with the person they will guide you on how to assist. If you did not stay or do not feel comfortable helping you can just say so and they will move on. I have never gotten in trouble for calling 911 and I have called after leaving the scene. I even fall into the group of people who are mandated to help (if you fall into that group you already know) and I was never asked about that. Even when it was obvious I was in that group I did not get in trouble for not helping because I told them I felt unsafe. If you are unsure if someone is unconscious and feel safe approaching the person ask them if they are okay (loudly), and give them a good nudge to make sure they aren't just sleeping. I generally kick their feet or firmly nudge their back with my foot. I know that seems harsh but I do it because I usually don't feel safe reaching down to shake their shoulders. Sometimes they wake up and are fine. If you already called 911 and the person ends up getting up and walking away just tell 911 that help is no longer needed and they will end the call. Generally calling takes 3-5 minutes. Maybe 10 minutes but you do not need to stay at the scene. They are not going to grill you I am writing this because an unconscious person most likely needs emergency services and it is better to call than to not do anything at all. It does not take long and you will not get in trouble for not doing anything else. If anyone else has more information or tips please comment! I am not an expert. If I got something wrong please tell me. This is all anecdotal experience. Edit: after reading some comments: - it is highly preferred to leave a callback number in case more information is needed so better advice might be to ask someone else to call if you are really that reluctant to give out your phone number (unlikely anyone here is calling from a payphone) - It is better to stay on scene during the call and at least try to check to make sure the person isn't sleeping (they often are). I was more encouraging people who think they should call but cannot stay or feel unsafe checking on that person. - check to see if that person is actually a person... didn't realize this was an issue. - Do not do anything that could put yourself in danger or that you do not feel safe doing. Whether or not you feel safe physically shaking someone to see if they will wake up is your choice but consider that the person could potentially be violent (that's why I use my foot). When I called and was afraid to check on someone in the past I called and the dispatcher talked me through it after I gave my location and phone number. - There is a lot of debate regarding narcan - be aware people can be violent and giving narcan involves a sharp needle. My advice would be to do some additional training before giving narcan so that you can better assess the situation if that is something you want to do. - If there are other people nearby consider asking someone else to call if you feel uncomfortable doing so. I have been asked to call by someone else in the past. submitted by /u/itisalltoomuch [link] [comments]

I grabbed a muffin from a local cafe this morning and honestly felt a little ripped off. Used to be that a muffin from a decent coffee shop was basically a meal. Now it's like a slightly inflated cupcake without the frosting. Price was about a dollar more than I remember paying last year too. I get that costs are up for everyone. Flour, butter, eggs, all of it. But is this happening everywhere in the city or am I just unlucky with the spots I've been hitting? I tried a different place last week thinking maybe it was just that one cafe, but same thing. Small muffin, bigger price tag. I don't want to name specific places because I'm not trying to run a business down. Just wondering if other people have noticed the same trend across the board. Scones also seem smaller. Croissants are holding steady for now but I'm not hopeful. Also curious if anyone knows a spot in Calgary that still does a proper bakery style pastry without the shrinkflation treatment. I don't mind paying more if the quality and size match up. But paying extra for less just feels bad. I'd rather make my own muffins at this point but sometimes you just want the coffee shop experience without feeling like you got played afterward. submitted by /u/tommytmopar [link] [comments]
