Why does the city do nothing for dogs barking ? In my neighbourhood there is a dog that consistently howls an barks after it’s owner goes to work at 5 AM. After telling the owner about it she has told people to “f**k off an die” and reporting to the city has produced nothing. Is there any part of the city branches that can do anything ? This kind of dog owners has begun to turn me into a true dog hater. submitted by /u/Capable_Quail_8187 [link] [comments]

We are located in Willowpark and game starts around 730pm on Fridays with an end time fluctuating from 1030pm to midnight (depends on how deep into the newest bounty mission we are) submitted by /u/Torkidon [link] [comments]

I'm new to the city, and need some work done on my Ford Escape. Was wondering if there was a mechanic in town that stands above the rest when it comes to the quality of their work. submitted by /u/tylesser [link] [comments]

I recently adopted 2 very cute cats and sadly I have developed a really bad allergy. They’re both 1 year old, female, spayed and vaccinated. They are both domestic shorthair with one of them being a Calico mix. I want them adopted together as they are bonded. They are litter box trained. I can provide more info about their personalities and their vet records if you are interested. Please send me a private message if you are interested. submitted by /u/Khaleesi6945 [link] [comments]

For the past few months it has been unbearable to walk from Churchill station to city centre mall in the pedway. Drug users, and violent people screaming down there. Over the last few days I've seen a permanent police presence in the mall. It's safe there is no one loitering there and the people going to work can get there safely without wondering if today is the day they get attacked. The cops actually brought coffee and setup a table for early morning commuters getting off the LRT taking the pedway. Goes to show as much as people talk about "addiction homelessness" as the issue at the same time enforcement can be taken right now. Happy that someone that pays taxes to fund the police and social programs for drug addicts can walk to her job in peace because police are finally enforcing the law. submitted by /u/Sherbrooke10 [link] [comments]

Just wanted to put this out there.. this Friday night I had an anaphylactic allergic reaction. My throat closed up and I couldn’t breathe (within minutes) My son had to give me my epipen, and had to call 911. A fire truck and an ambulance showed up within minutes of his call. Over the last couple of years, I’ve had a handful of similar situations- not once have I had an issue with an ambulance showing up in a timely fashion (especially considering an anaphylactic episode can be deadly in seconds, if not minutes)… I get that maybe I have good luck with ambulance response time and that it isn’t always the case, but I just wanted to put a positive comment out there about the EMS/fire fighters that respond to our 911 calls. submitted by /u/EllaBelle1983 [link] [comments]

I’m 36 and a couple of weeks ago I started noticing very pronounced eye floaters in both of my eyes. There are multiple dots, around 6 and a couple of long stringly floaters and they are always visible. Not too much in dim lighting but it’s affecting my vision when I’m working and driving. Not sure if my dry eyes has anything to do with it but I’ve been feeling sandy feeling in both of my eyes lately. Dry eyes got better after using eye drops and staying away from the computer monitor after work. Has anyone had any laser or vitrectomy done for severe eye floaters? And where did you get it done? I went to an optometrist and had my eyes dilated and examinated. No retinal detachment or any issues. Eyes were healthy. Thank you. Edit: the floaters I’m seeing are not transparent ones (I’ve seen the transparent ones before when I was young and not bothered by them) but more dark and a lot easier to see submitted by /u/Miko109 [link] [comments]

Hey all I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any businesses here that fresh roast coffee beans made to order? I am trying to steer away from stale prepackaged stuff.

Looking for recommendations for the best places to go to play darts in NW Calgary on a Saturday evening. Somewhere we will likely for sure get a dart board or will have a minimum wait. Thanks! submitted by /u/FluffySleepyKitty [link] [comments]

I moved to Edmonton about a year ago. Have been kind of bored. I work lots in construction, so a little bit tough to sign up for an Edmonton Sports and Social Club due to the travel that is sometimes required. Any suggestions on drop in Sports Clubs or any other type of social club? I play almost all sports (not overly well), love bar games, card games, board games, video games, professional development is fun as well. Thanks for any suggestions! submitted by /u/brsapson [link] [comments]

I'm hoping this semi-realistic fantasy transit map and defence may inspire us to dream a bit more positively! TLDR: Turn the CTrain to a turnstiled automated light metro with TOD (removing the parking lots). Run suburban trains where riders can park instead, servicing downtown, Banff, Stampede, and the Airport. Add rail/BRT where it makes sense (eg. Beltline), and hold back when trad buses suffice (eg. 52 ST E). Even shorter TLDR: Check out the map. This fantasy transit map has some inspiration from Vancouver and Toronto's urbanism and transit system. Here's some problems people may have about Calgary's current system which the decisions in my map solves: Problems and Solutions Problem: The train is unreliable Solution: Upgrade trains to Vancouver style automated light metros A covered metro system which never interacts with traffic by elevating or entrenching the line would make the train the best way to get around especially on snow days. Not interacting with traffic also means the trains can be automated, saving on costs. This means the train can run a lot more often. Also, this gives the city a great excuse to put the downtown corridor under Stephen Avenue, which is probably the best spot in Calgary for an underground transit mall. --- Problem: The train feels unsafe Solution: Among increased security and other things, add turnstiles Upgrading to a metro system means new and bigger stations may be needed, so why not add turnstiles while we're at it? This will reduce public drug use in stations and in the trains. The poor and the unhoused may, of course, still use the trains provided they have passes. --- Problem: The train doesn't serve the Beltline Solution: Run the train there Many Calgary fantasy maps neglect this area, which is such a shame. The Beltline is already the most walkable part of the city, and a train line running under it would do well to further improve the quality of life in that area, and for Calgarians trying to access that area without driving. The sample applies to Mardaloop, Inglewood, Mission, etc. Not to mention, drinking in the premier Calgarian nightlife districts and then taking the train becomes a viable option for more people, possibly reducing instances drunk driving. --- Problem: Many of Calgary's stations are parking lot wastelands with not even a store in sight. Solution: offer an express transit system A limited stop suburban transit system with dedicated paid parking garages will allow the city to charge more for those willing to pay to park, while freeing up the parking lots along the metro lines. Existing park and rides along those old lines can be transformed into condos, stores, and other mixed uses. This also takes advantage of the massive property value hikes that having a transit stop affords an area. --- Problem: There's no great transit service to the airport Solution: Run the train there With a direct-ish train line from the airport to downtown, YYC will be in contention for having the fastest transit ride to downtown in Canada, if not in North America. --- Problem: It's getting harder and harder to park in Banff and Lake Louise Solution: extend the train line to Banff Many tourists wouldn't need a car in Calgary if there existed a train line that went to the airport, downtown, stampede, Banff, and perhaps even Edmonton. This may be complemented by bus service to ski hills and other major tourist spots in the Rockies synced up with train service. Locals would also be able to take this line for commuting, getting to the airport, getting to the stampede grounds without needing a car, etc. Limitations Why BRTs? Trains are much better. I tried to keep the map somewhat realistic by keeping BRTs for the crosstown lines, as I don't believe running trains would be justified along those corridors. Signal priority, dedicated lanes, and even dedicated stations with turnstiles would go a long way to improve service without actually needing a train line. Basically, making the BRT actually a BRT and not just a fancier bus service. I also personally don't think real BRTs or other higher order transit would work on certain corridors. --- No BRT: Parkdale to COP High frequency bus service would be nice here, but I don't believe adding extra infrastructure to raise the quality of the ride to real BRT level is feasible. Bearspaw and West 85th stations could offer shuttle buses to COP, and frequent traditional buses direct to downtown may be run along this corridor. --- No BRT: 52 St E This is an important crosstown route, but doesn't currently have the density or destinations of interest for an elevated bus service. Corridors may be designated for future upgrades, if deemed useful. --- No BRT: Royal Oak/Sage Hill area This is another area where I believe traditional buses may be made use of, rather than looping the Orange Line farther north. Connections to Orange, and to the Green Line at 96 Ave Station seem to suffice. Extending the Orange Line farther north would also encourage local buses to connect to the BRT, rather than the Green Line, which makes for a 2 transfer ride to downtown: not ideal. The borders of Nose Hill park is simply very conducive to adding more lanes without having to rip houses down, which is why my proposed NW BRT line goes along it. --- No fancy transit: across the Bow River Some fantasy maps feature higher order transit (gondolas, funiculars, or possibly spiralling trains) crossing from Cougar Ridge to COP, or from Shaganappi point to the Foothills area. I think just running traditional buses along the under construction Stoney West and Crowchild would be fine for most purposes. --- What do you guys think?

I think that West Village is an excellent location for a new arena, so long as it's going somewhere downtown. (Though I think that a good case can be made to locate it entirely outside of the downtown area.) The main reason is that a mega-project like this is the only way that the creosote in WV is going to be cleaned up. Moreover, if the province is willing to pay for the reclamation, which I expect may cost $1B, then this is an excellent plan that's all the better for the City. The alternative is that WV remains a wasteland for decades to come. It won't be until the Beltline is out of developable land--literally more than 50 years--until it will make any kind of financial sense to remediate and reclaim that land. With the Province paying to remediate the land and river, the City and CSEC sharing the cost of the arena/stadium/field house, we get to reoccupy a huge area not far from downtown that, in the alternative, will remain unoccupied until perhaps late in the 21st century. Edit: I should add that I'm not at all a fan of building an arena for billionaires that should bloody well pay for it themselves. But so long as that's on the table, the location of the arena is fair discussion. submitted by /u/senecant [link] [comments]

https://imgur.com/qZ1Z4Tk Once again I have no hot water here at Imperial Towers.This is February 6 2023 right around 12 pmThis seems to be an ongoing issue here and Boardwalk doesn't care.I have notified Boardwalk with no response yet from them.Getting temps right around 21 C it was 21.1 C (69.98 F) to be exact and I let the water run for 2 minutes before putting the theometer under the water I also did the same test with a digital temperature gun as well. Now minimum housing standards here in Alberta says the followinghttps://open.alberta.ca/.../minimum-housing-and-health... Section 9(a) of the minimum housing standards states the hot water should be between 46 C and 60 C for hot water. "(a) All hot running water shall be maintained at a temperature of not less than 46 degrees C (114 F), and not more than 60 degrees C (140F) measured at the plumbing fixture. "So the temperature is not even close to meeting the minimum housing standards.The landlord here is Boardwalk REIT LLP.There was no notice given for today for any work being done on the water system here at Imperial Towers either. https://www.bwalk.com/.../Alberta/Edmonton/Imperial-Tower/ Avoid Boardwalk this is horrible and the management turns off the water to the building constantly or we have no hot water with no notice.I can't even take a shower which I was about to do. I can't wash dishes or anything as I have no hot water. This is occuring in my whole apartment. And no heat either becauase this is hot water heat in this building too.

There is an individual that goes by a company name of Hermax Development Ltd. that seem like they are hiring. They pretty much do all the steps like a usual hiring process except are in a very huge hurry and seems to use indeed or ziprecruiter to take a look at your resume and e-mail you that they are interested in offering a position.Scam is very easy to spot the worst thing is that you think you are getting a job up until the point the scam unfolds meaning you end up losing sometime while looking for a job. Please see below link to a screenshot message. Stay safe out there.https://prnt.sc/n5HpV9oRffu0 I flaired this post as news but if this isn't the right flair let me know what to change it to or moderators can change it to what it should instead be. EDIT: There was a comment that said some scammers will actually send you the money upfront, but it is stolen money, and they ask you to transfer it to them through crypto for its anonymity feature and when the bank catches on where the initial victims money went they get to you. So please be very careful no company should ask you to transfer their money back to them through crypto. And if it is an actual business that asks you my advice is to always refuse. If they need an individual (not a business body) to do such a thing they can do it themselves on their own behalf. submitted by /u/LonelyShallot3192 [link] [comments]

I recently have moved here and am used to the pet tenant laws in Ontario which are very flexible. But trying to find somewhere in Calgary that allows pets is proving more difficult, unless it’s in a more expensive apartment building, every landlord doesn’t allow pets (specifically cats) for “allergies”.

Hi all! 👋. My 9y/o daughter just got her first fish tank and a betta, and I'm looking for some advice. The fishy seemed good for the first day or so, but since then he has basically hid away at the back of the tank for 4 days straight. He has not eaten since we got him....and I'm really not sure what is going on. The ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels are good (0/0/5ppm), temperature is good (80deg F). I used tap water to fill the tank (dechlorinated of course), so the ph/hardness are a bit high. I'm curious, do folks in yyc generally do anything to lower the ph/hardness of their aquarium water? Anyone have any suggestions on things to try? submitted by /u/redec_ [link] [comments]
