Even though this wasn’t the result we wanted, I am overwhelmed thinking about the success of the @CalgarySurge inaugural season. I’m so grateful for how Calgary has welcomed our team with open arms, and for the opportunity to connect with so many communities. Thank you, Calgary!

@mcmillan_ali @BRCAssociation @ParksFdnCalgary Is there a website with additional details (location, budget, etc)?

Sadly I have to report someone stole the foosball table from the General Plaza in Bridgeland last night. It was donated by a Roma's Pizzeria. Would have taken two people and a truck to steal. This is so pathetic. #Bridgeland If anyone saw anything! Let @BRCAssociation know..

The Plaza Theatre in its former life as Mac's Garage in 1928. Seven years later, it became the much-loved Plaza.
Hope someone steps up to save this piece of #YYC history!

So awesome to see local business involved in community placemaking. Thx Ahmad of Roma’s Pizzeria for donating the foosball to the plaza! #bridgelandlove #romaspizzeria Try their donair pizza! 😋

Today I learned...

The white man in this photo was Peter Norman from Australia who finished 2nd the 1968 200m final. Norman stood in solidarity with the American Black athletes. It was Norman who suggested, when discovered they only had 1 pair of gloves, to each wear one. (cont)

New “Expert” guidelines say, wear a mask. But none to be bought.

Mrs.FD has the answer. Cut up my almost unlimited long john supply, sew, & Presto!!

But what is that smell?

(Just kidding.)

This travel cost calculator by @cityofcalgary is brilliant.

Here's an estimate for a 5 km trip.

1 trip by car = 125 trips by bike

A good reminder of how much cars cost our society.
