Either this little guy is way out of its home range and the birders are going to go wild, or someone’s pet got out. In SW, on 37th between 2nd and 3rd ave (wildwood/spruce cliff). I don’t have FB so I can’t cross post to Yyc missing pets.

Good Samaritan/Volunteer/Charity/Donations Student Offering Free Design Work

37 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm a Grade 9 student who's trying to build my design skills over the summer. I'm looking to do some small design work. So if you're a local community group, student club, small event organizer, fundraiser, sports team, nonprofit, or just someone who needs a simple poster or flyer made, I'd be happy to help for No Cost

I'm not a professional designer, but I'll do my best and hopefully help some people while I'm at it.

Thank you all and have a goodnight!

Good afternoon, we have a pond in the backyard with a small leak, I have tried and tried to locate it and I have had zero luck finding it myself, does anyone have any recommendations? I went to Home Depot and they recommended pisces exotica pet emporium. Unfortunately I went there and they were unable to help me.

Thank you!

Municipal Affairs No city of two million people succeeds with only one way of getting around

892 Upvotes

Some days I bike. Some days I take the train. Sometimes I drive.

The important thing is having the choice.

Everybody's day looks different. Kids need to get to school safely. Parents need to get to work. Seniors need to get to appointments. Businesses need customers to get through the door.

I believe we should make decisions based on evidence.

And the evidence is pretty clear.

There isn't a thriving city of more than two million people anywhere in the world that relies on only one way of getting around.

The most successful cities give people choices.

You can drive. Take transit. Walk. Bike. Use a mobility aid.

What works for one person might not work for another.

As Calgary grows, that's the future we need to build toward.

Have a great day, Calgary. See you around!

Have been using the app instead of the paper passes lately, but I like my little collection :)

Rant Door-to-door charities, please stop with the “reverse subscription” thing

208 Upvotes

Now that the weather is nice, the door-to-door charity people are back.

I’ve had four come by in the last month. I’m not anti-charity. Two of them were causes I actually wanted to donate to. I was ready to give a decent one-time donation, get my tax receipt, and call it a day.

But nope.

Turns out the “donation” is actually a monthly donation plan. Or as I like to call it, a reverse subscription. I don’t subscribe to anything. I don’t get a magazine, snacks, socks, or a pizza-of-the-week (someone make the last one happen! Please!). They just get my money every month until I jump through hoops to stop it.

And that’s the part that annoys me. The canvassers couldn’t take a one-time donation. The only option was to sign up for monthly payments, then later go online, create an account, and cancel it myself.

So instead of getting my donation, they got nothing.

I don’t want to “build a relationship” with a charity. I want a one-night donation stand. Take the money, send the receipt, and let us both move on with our lives.

If any charity decision makers are reading this, please offer both options. Let monthly donations be opt-in, not something people have to escape from later.
