Whats everybody's opinions on lane filtering on motorcycles?
I dont mind because it moves traffic faster and its safer for the motorcycles but ive seen some people (trucks mostly) that get absolutely pissed off because of it.
Southern Alberta Pizza sales are skyrocketing tonight.
BE AWARE!!!!!
I would NEVER recommend Wee Wild Ones as an employer or for Childcare. I worked for this company for approximately two years, gave my best to my job, and genuinely cared about the children and families I worked with. Unfortunately, my experience with management was extremely disappointing. In my experience, when employees speak up, stand up against discrimination, or raise concerns about how they are being treated, instead of making them feel safe and addressing those concerns professionally, they are harassed, targeted, and eventually pushed out of the company. I personally experienced harassment and discriminatory treatment from management, specifically Miss Harpreet, Miss Violet, and Miss Zara.
One of the worst ongoing issues was washroom access. Management regularly restricted us from using the washroom when we needed to go. We were directly told that we had to HOLD IT and wait for up to TWO HOURS before being allowed to use the washroom. This was not just one isolated incident. Employees were expected to ignore such a basic physical need because management would not arrange proper coverage. I find it unbelievable that adults working hard all day caring for children could be told they cannot even use the washroom when they need to. When employees finally started speaking up about this and asking for basic dignity and respect, the situation was not properly addressed. Instead, employees who raised concerns faced negative treatment, and some were later let go.
I also personally experienced extremely disrespectful treatment from Miss Zara. On one occasion, I asked her to bring me a child’s clothes because I could not leave my classroom due to ratio requirements. Rather than simply handing the clothes to me, she threw them onto the floor. I found this humiliating, demeaning, discriminatory, and completely unprofessional. I was simply doing my job and following the required classroom ratio, yet I was treated in a way that made me feel completely disrespected as an employee.
What happened to Miss Kiran was another extremely disturbing situation. She was let go because she was pregnant and could not perform all of her regular duties because of her pregnancy. I find this absolutely disgusting. How can a company whose entire purpose is to care for babies and children treat a woman this way while she is carrying a baby herself? Pregnancy should never make an employee disposable. The hypocrisy of a childcare company treating a pregnant employee this way is unbelievable.
There is also something that I believe parents deserve to know about—the food being served to their children. From what I personally witnessed while working inside the centre, the food served to children was often extremely low quality and, in my opinion, disgusting. What parents saw on the classroom menu or ClassDojo did not always match what their children were actually served. There were occasions when something different was served from what was written on the menu. Parents look at those menus trusting that they accurately represent what their children are eating during the day. Based on what I personally witnessed, that was not always the reality. Parents deserve honesty and transparency, especially when it concerns something as basic as what their children are being fed.
Another extremely concerning issue is what happens when employees try to take their concerns further. Employees should be able to raise concerns about discrimination, workplace treatment, or their employment rights, including through employment or human-rights authorities, without being afraid of losing their jobs. In my experience, speaking up or taking a stand can put a target on an employee rather than result in their concerns being taken seriously. Nobody should have to choose between protecting their rights and protecting their job.
What makes the entire experience even worse is the message this sends to employees: stay quiet, tolerate the treatment, and don’t challenge anything if you want to protect your job. That is not what a healthy workplace should feel like. Employees should be able to raise legitimate concerns without feeling intimidated or wondering whether they will be the next person removed from the company.
I am writing this review because future employees and parents deserve to hear the experience of someone who actually worked inside this company for approximately two years. People considering employment here deserve to know the kind of workplace experience I had, and parents trusting a company with their children deserve transparency.
I can guarantee that Wee Wild Ones management will not agree with this review and may deny everything written here. But I worked inside this company for approximately two years. I am writing about what I personally experienced and what I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears. I stand behind every word I have written as a truthful account of my own experiences and observations as an employee.
I would NEVER recommend Wee Wild Ones as a workplace and for childcare based on my experience
What's the best mango 🥭 drink in the town? So far I think Vitaminboba is the best I've tried so far. I would love to hear more if someone has tried other mango drinks.

Two youths are facing charges after a group on electric dirt bikes allegedly fled from officers in southwest Calgary earlier this week, prompting police to out a public warning about the legality of electric motorbikes.
Calgary police say officers were called to the community of Coach Hill around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday for reports of three people performing stunts and riding e-dirt bikes dangerously through the neighborhood.
The riders took off when officers tried to stop them, according to police, weaving through residential streets as HAWCS tracked them from the air.
Two of the riders were arrested a short time later. Both now face charges for dangerous operation of a vehicle and flight from police.
The third rider was not caught by police. The investigation is ongoing.
The arrests come days after another a 16-year-old was stopped in the northwest community of Citadel.
In that case, police say an electric motorcycle was seen traveling more than 70 km/h through green spaces, walking paths, and on the wrong side of the road and passing vehicles.
The rider was found to not have a proper license, insurance or registration. They were issued seven tickets and charged with dangerous driving.Two youths are facing charges after a group on electric dirt bikes allegedly fled from officers in southwest Calgary earlier this week,

Hey everyone!
As we all know, weddings can get expensive very quickly, so I’m hoping to find a little diamond in the rough!
Does anyone have recommendations for affordable wedding catering that is actually delicious? We’re pretty open when it comes to food (we like just about everything) so we’re not looking for anything super specific. Just not overly spicy for guests.
Bonus points if they have some gluten-free options for a few guests, but it’s not a must!
If you’ve had a great experience with a caterer that didn’t break the bank, I’d love to hear about them!
Not necessarily your profession or what you do for your day job.
Maybe you’re great at fixing things, cooking, tutoring, sports, pet care, helping seniors, assembling furniture… whatever.
I’ve always found it interesting how many useful skills people have that never show up on a résumé.
And a lot of those skills are things other people would actually pay for.
The problem is, most of us don’t really know how to turn a random skill into something we can offer — where to find people who need it, what to charge, or even whether there’s demand for it.
So I’m curious:
What’s a skill you have that you think someone would actually pay you for, but you’ve never tried making money from?
A child wearing only a diaper was found alone on a roadside. Thankfully, a passing girl stopped to help and stayed with the child until a police officer arrived. The two worked together to ensure the child's safety. Hopefully, the family is located quickly and the child is reunited with their loved ones.
I just saw this post on the other sub and apparently it was taken down.
Does anyone know if the banner is still up there?
UPDATE: the White Supremacy/neo nazi banner is no longer on the overpass.
Im moving to Calgary in Oct. I am looking for a good community to live in where the schools are good and not too overcrowded. My kids are 14 and 12. Son who is 14 is keen on STEM but the application has closed for this year and he will have to do one year in a CBE/IB. Daughter is very creative and has skills, academically a little behind as she is suspected to have dyslexia. Please if I could get some suggestions for schools and good communities… it will be rental at first as I’m relocating from EU and don’t have credit.
We have spent many hours pounding the pavement and distributing physical posters, hoping social media can help spread the word.

I hadn’t heard about this, came across it yesterday and I’ve already told everyone that I know. I got an e-transfer within 3 hours, so did my friend. The application takes so little time that it’s very much worth it for $100 of your own money back.
Does anybody know of a highland cow (or two) that could make an appearance at my friend’s wedding in Canmore? In any capacity, even just for photos of them. She is enthralled with highland cows and it would totally make her day.

Location: Sue Higgins Dog Park
Yesterday, I brought my two Pomeranians to the lake. The moment this family arrived, their husky went after my dog. My dog was completely under the water, and I had to pick her up to get the other dog to leave us alone. I confronted the owners and told them they shouldn’t bring an aggressive dog to a dog park. They replied, “My dog isn’t aggressive; it just doesn’t like small dogs. You should bring your dogs to a smaller park.”
Please be aware of these people, as they clearly don’t care if their dog injures another dog.
I have reported this to the police. If anyone can help identify them.
We’re considering purchasing a front garage quick possession home from Bedrock Homes in Heartwood and would really appreciate feedback from anyone who has purchased from Bedrock recently, especially in Calgary/Heartwood.
We really like the house, layout, and community, but before moving forward I’d like to hear about the actual build quality and after-possession experience.
A few things I’m particularly curious about:
- Overall construction/build quality
- Foundation, framing, drywall and finishing quality
- Flooring, cabinets, countertops, doors, etc.
- Insulation, heating and soundproofing
- Any major deficiencies you discovered after possession
- How responsive Bedrock was during the walkthrough and warranty period
- Experience with their customer service/service technicians
- Anything you wish you had checked before buying
Since this is a quick possession home, a lot of the construction is already completed, so I’d also appreciate any recommendations on what we should inspect carefully before removing conditions/taking possession.
Would you buy from Bedrock again? Any good or bad experiences are welcome.
Thanks!
Been working on a live incident map for Calgary over the past little bit.
Didn’t expect much at first, but it’s already helped people recover bikes / equipment and crossed about 10k views in the first month.
Still early and trying to shape it into something actually useful.
What would make you use something like this regularly?
