heads up — fraud hitting people at crowded Stampede spots. someone's card got compromised after Canada Day and Stampede food trucks. might wanna monitor your accounts if you've been out.
someone posted bouncy castle safety symbols on r/calgary and nobody can figure out what half of them mean. the thread's hilarious.
moose hit a pickup truck at Canada Olympic Drive and Bowfort Road exit today. looked like the Tuscany mama.
Someone who went to see Dom Dolla at Badlands is raising concerns about crowd crush and lack of security presence. They say the venue felt dangerous at times and staff didn't show up when someone passed out.
Someone captured an influencer named Tanvir Gill shoulder-checking a father with a baby at the Stampede, and she posted the whole thing to her Instagram story without apologizing. r/calgary is not impressed.
A parent missed the lineup cutoff for pony rides at a Stampede breakfast and their toddler was disappointed. Looking for other breakfasts happening this week with pony rides to make it up to her.
House of Commons petition e-7142 is asking the government to protect hybrid and remote work for federally regulated employees — up to 3 remote days per week with written justification needed for more office time. Over 54,000 have already signed.
Big crowds on day three pushed attendance past half a million, but some visitors are now second-guessing the cost. The wine cellar's a ghost town and folks are weighing whether it's worth the wallet hit.
The wine bar at the Stampede's Champions Ballroom is packed with inventory but empty of people rn — a wild flip from the hordes of past years. If you're looking for wine without the crush, this is your moment.

Folks have been hitting the skate park's lower bowl by the volleyball courts since Friday — just not getting the memo out. Worth checking if you've been assuming the whole thing is closed.

Seton in the SE got hammered with hail Sunday night. Heavy stuff, fast.
Environment Canada issued an orange watch for severe thunderstorms over Calgary and southeastern Alberta Sunday. Hail, heavy rain, and gusty winds possible — keep an eye on the forecast.
Thirty cars were spotted huddled under the Stoney Trail and Glenmore Trail interchange during Saturday's hail, parking on road shoulders and creating dangerous conditions for everyone trying to use the highway. Not the safest move — maybe find better shelter next time.
A$AP Rocky returned to the Saddledome for the first time in 8 years Saturday night and absolutely delivered. The show started more than an hour late while crew tested lights and pyro, but once he got on stage, he played deep cuts, brought out fellow A$AP Mob member Twelvyy, and pushed past curfew to get through the full setlist. When power cut to the whole Dome mid-show, his mic was the only thing still on — so he freestyled about Calgary and lowkey dissed Toronto. Legendary.
Phil's on 11th is closed and people are bummed about it — no word yet on when or if it's coming back.
someone's asking around for old Calgary Sun newspapers — if you've got stacks of yesterday's paper, they're looking to buy a bunch.
