I see lots of people walking in downtown today. Parts of trees or whole trees are falling. Be careful everyone!

Calgary this morning.

On a bus stop in Bowness.

Around 9 am today HWY 201

Loved the clouds last night

The power has been out in Glamorgan for the last 1.5 hours! I hope this resolves soon.

We now know that three people lost their lives. Two have been identified and their families have been notified. Police are still working to identify the third person.

Sixteen people suffered minor injuries, and one of our Calgary Transit drivers is in hospital with life-altering injuries.

My heart goes out to everyone affected, especially the families who are facing an unimaginable loss right now.

Police have shared more details about what happened. The crash involved two Calgary Transit buses and several other vehicles near Saddletowne Circle and 80th Avenue.

One bus collided with several vehicles before striking a second bus. That second bus caught fire, and within seconds, there was an explosion.

I can't begin to imagine how terrifying that must have been for everyone involved. And I want to talk about our first responders for a moment.

Our firefighters arrived to find a bus on fire, people injured, and a driver trapped inside another bus. They had to fight the fire, rescue the driver, and help the injured, all at once.

We also know that a police officer rushed toward the burning bus to save a child. That officer was injured and is now recovering at home.

I want to thank every firefighter, police officer, paramedic, dispatcher, and Calgary Transit employee who stepped up yesterday.

We're still trying to understand exactly what happened. Police are investigating, and it's too early to say what caused this crash.

If you witnessed what happened, or you're struggling with what you saw, please reach out to the Calgary Police Victim Assistance team at 403-428-8398.

I know a lot of people in Calgary are hurting right now. And I know there are families whose lives will never be the same. We're going to do everything we can to support them, care for those recovering, and get answers about what happened.

To everyone affected by this tragedy, please know that your city is here for you. And we're going to be here for you in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

Friend informed me to let people I know in the Calgary-Varsity Parkdale area that the Nifty Fifties location has no line. I don't know anyone in that area so I'm doing the next best thing. They are allegedly bored and want people to come advance vote. So if you are able to use that polling location and haven't voted yet...go vote! It'll be super fast!

Since a popular Calgary restaurant that starts with a letter K and serving Japanese food is not having a great time right now due to recent health issue of one of their restaurants, I am a former manager for multiple of their locations and served them for a very long time until I got a new career. I can answer all your questions in regard to how their system works and their deep secrets. AMA!

Just voted at the Ukrainian church in Glamorgan and saw a cute bobcat cruising through the parking lot. Not a cougar, she was in the church checking the IDs at the door. 🤣😜

Keep your small dogs and redneck kids safe!

Found a pair of Keys attached to a blue carabiner downtown on 10th Avenue Southwest near national. Hung them up in a tree for easier locating, but they were in the tree well.

PSA: A lot of people dont know this exists:

If you're ever left standing holding some garbage in your hand wondering where it is supposed to go (blue bin, green bin, black bin, landfill, Eco center, etc.) you can find out in a flash with What Goes Where.

Sometimes I just go there for fun to see what kinds of stuff they've catalogued the correct disposal avenue for.

Another find from the estate… a Calgary Chapter Alberta Pioneer auto club badge… I think it actually mounts to vehicles and not clothing.

Any club members on this forum that could help me figure out when these came out?

Reddit's limited to less than 15 mins for video, so I wasn't able to include the PM's full speech. To watch the full event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9qurAd0MCU

Last night, I had the honour of introducing Prime Minister Mark Carney at Calgary's Forever Canadian rally.

I had a different speech planned. I wanted to talk about my father, who came to Canada as a refugee 70 years ago this month, and how his son grew up to become Mayor of Calgary.

But after yesterday's tragic bus crash that claimed three lives and injured seventeen others, including a police officer who ran into a burning bus to save a child, my thoughts were with the victims, their families, and our first responders.

It was a difficult day for our city. But seeing thousands of Albertans come together reminded me of what makes this country worth standing up for.

I'm a proud Albertan. I'm a proud Canadian. And I refuse to believe we have to choose between the two.

We're stronger together. And we're Forever Canadian.

My kid is turning 7 and he wants to have a low-key party at an arcade with some friends. Thinking somewhere we can get a table and they can just play games to their hearts content and then have some food. Bonus points if it's the kind of place you can pay a flat entry up front and not per game, and if it had vintage/classic games. And not Chuck E Cheese 😆. Any suggestions?

Since we're moving into soup season - have had a craving! But I've found it's not served everywhere

Hey all. Just looking for a quiet area to take our youngest driving for the first few rounds. We were lucky with the first kid and had the empty parking lot at the old Rona in Creekside to let them get their first feel for driving. Now it’s full usually with all the gym members. Any area big, open, and quiet in the area recommended?

Edit: Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions! I have a ton of options to check out!

Saw this walking Into work from my 930am coffee break - thought it was very cool!

Okaaay, I realize that it’s been a warmer-than-normal autumn, but it’s October a;d there’s an ice cream trick driving slowly around the neighbourhood, playing *La Cucaracha’. Has anybody else seen this?

I just had a weird interaction with the Peace Officer at the downtown C-Train station. I take the train to work everyday so I have a monthly pass and today I had an officer come up to me checking for my ticket.

I showed them my pass and they said that it's not validated? I said that I have a monthly pass, I validate it when I buy it every month but they said that it doesn't matter and I have to validate it EACH trip?

They said they are giving me a warning this time but next time I could get a ticket for this.

No freaking way this is true as I checked the website after they went away and it says so on the Transit website as well that you only have to validate it once. Am I missing something here? I'm just so confused.

I took a screenshot of the website for future interactions as well.
