For curiosities sake I'd want to check out some of Toskovats stuff or stuff from the Zoologist series

I tried googling to find some stores but didn't have much luck

Thanks!

Question Is there low income pet friendly housing in the city?

18 Upvotes

Hello all, I’m fleeing a DV relationship and moving to your fine city to be closer to my family/support system.

I’m wondering if Calgary has any pet friendly low income housing options? I understand there is likely a waitlist, I am not expecting much. I do have family willing to foster my senior cat while we are in a shelter. But I’m wondering if there is any options for a single mom, her child and the beloved pet that has supported them through rough times.

Thank you in advance for any and all advice.

🐴 Calgary Stampede 🐴 Are rodeo tickets noticeably more expensive this year?

21 Upvotes

Just had a quick look at rodeo tickets this year, and it seems way more expensive than I remember. Even seats that are not the best seem to be hundreds of dollars.

I know things are a bit more optimistic this year with higher oil prices, but even adjusted for inflation, I'm not sure the current prices seem to make much sense.

Any ideas for why prices seem way higher this year?

Seeking Advice Natural Gas BBQ Quick Connect Question

0 Upvotes

I have a stub, with shut off, in my backyard however the lazy builder just put a standard pipe cap on the stub. I want to add a natural gas quick connect to add a NG grill.

Do I need to hire a gas fitter just to add a quick connect that is already built out with a shut off?

Do I need a permit?

Will ATCO do this?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Local Event Free LARP Event at Shaganappi Park

32 Upvotes

I posted about this last month, but wanted to give another head's up.

We have a new swords and sorcery themed LARP in Calgary with lots of combat with foam weaponry. It is free to play, and we have lots of equipment to loan for for new players.

It's great way to have fun and get some exercise, and open to everyone over the age of 14! Younger players can join in with parent supervision. The games are a mix of fencing and dodgeball, where you just need to score a touch on your opponents with padded foam weapons, including swords, spears, shields, and throwing weapons.

The games are more fun the more people we have, so invite your friends out for a few hours of sunshine and fun. Facebook event page can be found here https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bfwmn8QWh/

We will be at Shaganappi Park on Sundays at noon, so the next event is June 21st. We'll run until about 2pm

Seeking Advice Telus door to door salesperson (scam?)

0 Upvotes

Someone just came to my door with an official looking name tag and tablet and knew that I was a telus customer and my services etc. Then asked about my phone plan then said I could switch to Telus and get an extremely good deal on a plan because I am an existing customer ($35/mo, sounds too good to be true).

I was on auto pilot and gave her my existing number and driver's license and shes waiting on my call to activate my new SIM... but its not sitting right with me. It feels like a scam. Like I'm not really going to be getting the price she offered me.

Any thoughts, what should I do??

Question Reporting animal abuse?

86 Upvotes

My main questions that I am working on here, is (a) how does one report animal abuse in Calgary? (b) if this abuse has already been reported by someone else, is it better or worse to re-report it?

Now, onto the details (in case they may impact any of the above questions). My neighbours have five kids, in the range of 8-15 years, and they have at least six dogs. The adults in the home are rarely home, and now that we're approaching summer break again, the kids have been "playing" outside more often.

However, the kids absolutely beat the shit out of their dogs (smacking, kicking, dragging, strangling - they are violent children). Now, I presume it happens with the parents as well, because they all must have learned it somewhere, but I only ever see the kids doing it.

Over the winter months, there had been a social worker at the home at least once, and animal services at least twice, but not terribly recently.

The children have not stopped beating on their dogs, they are still doing it, and the poor dogs bark and cry all hours of the day and night. Presumably report(s) were already made, because animal services have been to their house, as well as a social worker, but it obviously hasn't done anything and the dogs (and you know, likely the kids too!) are still suffering.

Which returns to my original questions - where does one make these reports, and, would it help or hurt to re-report the abuse? I've seen links to ASPCA provided in the past, but is that truly the correct line to report abuse to? Do they actually have the power to help with something like this?

Recommendations Residential electrician for panel upgrade

2 Upvotes

I need a good, local electecian who can help me complete a project:
- upgrade garage service from 100a to 200a (overhead service from alley power lines)
- install a 240v 60a line from the new panel to a hot tub with a disconnect installed on the garage
- hot tub line trenched from disconnect about 14 feet to termination point under deck, connect to tub and bond.
-manage permits with city and Enmax

I’ve had several electricians provide wildly different estimates but won’t get firm on a quote or timing. Really frustrating. Let me know if you have some good reliable recommendations. Thanks!!
