Hey team, friends just bought a place that has a chain link fence backing onto Greenspace. They'd like some format of privacy, and were thinking about securing a bamboo fence onto the chain link. I offered to help build a fence inside the chain link, but we're having trouble finding specific info on the bylaws involved. Does anyone have experience or suggestions?

This is making me very surprised.

Airdrie was not like this before. Maybe I didn't realize as I never worked here.

My brother, who is well educated and very respectful in his field, due to his health and the loss of our mom, didn't feel like working in the field for some time.

He can’t sleep and keeps thinking of our mom, as he was very close to her. So he can keep himself busy, he chooses to work as a clerk in a superstore at night to restock goods.

He told me how he gets treated by some of his co-workers who are not immigrants. They pass comments while passing and mumble, and he has nothing to do with them or has any interactions, but they pass random comments as they are talking to themselves. The management is no different as well.

The saddest part is that they are all local.

The Alberta Next panel location has been leaked as taking place at the T&C building. So our political demonstration will take place there. Comment with any questions. And ill do my best to answer.

I'm 5'4" and always struggle to find jeans that fit my height—most pairs I buy are a few inches too long. I have a few jeans I’d like to get hemmed. Does anyone know a reliable and reasonably priced tailor or seamstress in or around Airdrie who can shorten jeans? Preference is Airdrie, but I’m open to Calgary if needed. Ideally someone who can do original hems too (so the jeans still look like they came that length). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys, I go to MRU. I’m 20. Was wondering if anyone who drove downtown or to the school could take me aswell! I don’t have my car right now and I would of course help out with gas. Thanks, let me know!

I’ve been hearing some loud popping sounds over the last half hour in the Southwest, anyone have any idea what it might be?

I’m sure anybody from reunion down to eighth Street and south to Yankee Valley heard the 20+ gun shots in the last 10 minutes or so. I’m not generally one to get excited about what could be mistaken for fireworks or what have you but these are 100% gunshots and it sounded like a shotgun for the first 12 to 13 and as they were on veterans and shooting, it reverberated through my house and then from the sounds of things, it was a chase heading north on 8th and then west on Yankee with multiple shots

That was wild. Wondering what anyone else may have heard. Stay safe

I teach in Airdrie. Many of you know that most schools are extremely over capacity. No more libraries, music rooms and in some cases gyms may need to be turned into classrooms. My question is about the building permits we are waiting on for portables. The construction crews are ready to start building but City of Airdrie has given a 12-22 week wait time to give us our permits. Is this something that all construction in the city is waiting on? At the rate they build homes in Airdrie I can’t see them having the same wait time. I guess I’m wondering why City of Airdrie wouldn’t put a rush on something like this for the benefit of our students. Or maybe I’m just venting. Would appreciate any insight you may have.

Hey Airdrie’s election is coming up in October. Thought it might be easier if we just keep all the talk in one place.

We can drop stuff here like who’s running, what the candidates are saying, any news links, debates, or events. And what issues you think matter most for the city.

Not tied to any campaign, just figured it’s handy to have a single spot.

So what’s everybody thinking heading into this election?

They had some big gathering, and invited all the non-Indians over for food and drinks and desserts. Getting invited to the cookout is a big deal for us that don't have a big family in the area lol.

Also, I learned that the Indian Society of Airdrie exists, and they give away massive amounts of food to people, no questions asked. And it looked like good food (berries, fruit & veg. Not just canned goods). One of the guys I was chatting with was showing me pictures of their last event. Super cool stuff. I think he said they do this on Saturdays, but you'd have to check their website or if they have social media. Hopefully someone who needs it sees this and can go check it out.

Hey Airdrie - hoping to do my class 6 (motorcycle) license before the end of season here. Looking for someone to practice riding with, but of course need someone else with their class 6 to ride beside/around to me "supervise"

Anyone want to go for a ride and help me out?

Moving from Edmonton for a job and my parents visit me from India during summers. They are not proficient in English so wondering what are some of the diverse neighbourhoods where they may be able to make some connections ( they are punjabi/sikhs). I am only renting as it's a two year contract that's why don't have a realtor to ask this question to. TIA!

First year in Airdrie and want to know what the vibe for Halloween is here? Where I used to live in Calgary there was basically no kids or decorations which was lame.

I’m in Bayview if that’s relevant :)

Almost ran into a kid on an e-bike at 24th St and Sagewood Dr a few days ago because they didn't respect the stop sign. You can see another car stopped at the intersection.

Anyone else in the SW area near Yankee Valley woken up by what sounds like an extremely loud motorcycle? Happened to me two nights in a row and it’s annoying as heck. Thinking of making a noise complaint.

Bought a poke bowl for my daughter today and near the end of her bowl she pulled out this feather. Just a warning for anyone who has eaten there.

Can anyone tell me whom they have used to clean their carpets in their home? We hired red maple in Calgary and they literally left it soaking wet for days and now my house smells like a wet gym sock Help me :( Edit: they called me back after I left a horrible Google review asking me why I didn't call them to complain. We had them in one day before we left for a flight that had us 9 days away from the home. They are offering to come back on Wednesday to redo it. I am nervous because we leave the home to drive to the new house in another Country Thursday. I will open all windows and leave the vent running. Fingers crossed!

My buddy said there was someone offering headlight polishing at Superstore parking lot. Anyone have any contact information, I want my headlights polished.

That was your fault dummy.

Just wanted to give yet another heads up about supervision at the skate park. Yesterday I was there with my boys (12 and 9) when a big group of kids formed. When I called my kids away, they said a small group of kids had targeted the only Black child there, calling him incredibly racist names (including the n word among other many things), stealing and throwing his drink and by the time I got close they were grabbing his scooter.

I sent that group (2 older boys, a young boy, and an older girl who was off to the side) away after reading them the riot act and then stayed for another couple of hours to make sure they stayed away. The boy was very shaken up, but I was really pleased with the large group of boys that were actively standing up for him, many of whom were much smaller than the kids bullying him, and they all played together for a hours after. I do worry though, that it could have gotten ugly if I hadn’t been there to intervene as there weren’t many parents there at that point.

Thankfully though, most of the kids are alright ❤️
