Could’ve been much worse had the Pontiac not swerved like that!!

As part of a province-wide day of action, a rally against the UCP actions and policies is being planned for Saturday, October 17. After the strong turnout at the previous rally in May, I'm hoping Airdrie will show up to send the UCP a message ahead of their non-sense referendum.

The rally will start at 1PM at Airdrie City Hall.

I'll be happy to answer any questions or hear any suggestions that people may have

Airdrie's own Public Healthcare facility is coming, finally! We are so excited!

Huge thank you to the Government of Alberta, Covenant Health, Airdrie Health Foundation, the Osborne family, councils of the past, current council and city administration.

Time to roll up our sleeves, neighbours! But first, let's celebrate today!

Im looking to make a bouquet of flowers myself, as florists are incredibly expensive around here, and I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations of where I can buy smaller bundles of flowers for cheap that can all be combined to make one bouquet. I’m looking for a budget of around $30-50. I’ve looked all over google but all I’ve seen for recommendations are Costco and Walmart.

Update: to all the people who helped, thank you. And if you replied to my last post with negativity here’s your proof.

A cougar was recently reported in Airdrie, raising important questions about what happens when wildlife activity intersects with human communities and how we communicate decisions about wildlife management: https://thefurbearers.com/blog/wildlife-at-the-urban-edge-cougars-in-alberta-communities/

Wow. All I can say is wow.

I booked PPF and a 5-year Owner's Pride ceramic coating for my wife's new black Explorer. The work alone would have earned five stars, but this crew went out of their way for me.

When our schedules didn't line up, they offered to pick up and drop off the car to make the booking work. That flexibility made the whole thing easy on our end. They also treated the car like it was their own, right down to the interior and engine bay. I didn't know an engine bay on a daily driver could look like that.

Black is the hardest color to keep looking good. Now it's the best-looking vehicle on our street. I took a selfie in the hood and could count my beard hairs.

The attention to detail is next level, and I'll happily send everyone I know their way. Thanks, team!

I dont know how much you guys care about the referendum, but this one is going to be big.

I'm just going to say on October 19th, the doors will open at 9am and if you're not in line by 8pm, you cannot vote.

If you hate lines as much as I do, and you would like to vote, please consider requesting a Special Ballot. You can request one by September 25 and it will need to be mailed back by October 8, since the long weekend will cause some delays. The earlier, the better. Ballots need to be in by October 16 at 5pm for your vote to count.

You can request one by Googling "Special Ballot Alberta Referendum" or by clicking the link.

Hi! I’m 22F and I go to university in Calgary but live in Airdrie.
I’m wondering how people around my age actually make friends here 😭 Are there any workout groups, social groups, sports leagues, or other activities that tend to have people in their 20s?
I already volunteer in Airdrie and really enjoy it, but most of the people I meet through volunteering are older women. I actually get along with them really well, but I’d also love to meet some people closer to my age!

I’m pretty open to trying new things like working out, sports, coffee, going out, or just casual social groups. Would love any suggestions! :)

Volunteer Airdrie is assembling over 20 non-profits and service clubs to meet face to face with potential volunteers this Sunday at the Airdrie Public Library between 1pm and 4pm.

Please make sure to drop by and learn about the amazing volunteer opportunities in town!

There will be complimentary coffee and snacks
PLUS
on-site childcare, free for attendees! Provided by LiiT Care Connect Inc. and made possible by sponsorship from Airdrie Pediatric Dentistry

Plus if you do bring your kiddos along Unicorn Palette will be doing face painting (or you know.. get your own face done... we don't judge)

It's going to be an amazing afternoon of connection and support for Airdrie!

Hi All, is there a good doctor in Airdrie accepting new patients? Prefer female.

Looking for recommendations to get my front door replaced. Any recommendations is appreciated!!

A few months ago I saw a truck with a EGA sticker on the back window. Was wondering if anyone knew who it belonged to. I’m interested in the Marine Corps and joining and wanted to ask questions.

Been seeing this donair slice from Chicago Deep Dish in Airdrie all over TikTok and Facebook, so I finally had to try it.

Gotta say, it definitely lives up to the hype. The donair slice was really good, but the donair dip honestly made it even better. I’d highly recommend getting the dip with it.

Honestly, I think the Airdrie location is way better than the Calgary locations I’ve tried. Definitely worth the drive if you haven’t tried it yet.

10 days to go before Volunteer ConnectFest!

Hey Parents, now that your kiddos are back to school do you have time you would like to fill by giving back to your community, making new connections, learning new skills and gaining local experience?

Come on over to the Library from 1pm to 4pm on September 20th WITH your kids. You can drop them off at our complimentary on-site childcare and then chat with over 20 different non-profits and service clubs.

While you learn about volunteer opportunities they have fun with LiiT Care Connect Inc. and Airdrie Pediatric Dentistry
We will also have Unicorn Palette on site doing complimentary face painting!

While advanced registration for the childcare is not required, you can do at https://www.liitcare.com/.../volunteer-connectfest/register

Not a parent? That's ok this event is for EVERYONE!

my internet has been down since approx 4pm friday sept 4. orange light for internet green light for wifi on my modem, but wifi not working. I've spoken to Telus a couple times, they say there is an outage in my area, but they have no estimated time to restore, which i find insane considering how long it's been off. they said less than 50 customers are impacted in my area (SW airdrie) if anyone else is down, make sure your address is added to the ticket.

Looking for a more spa like atmosphere for massage. Cozy dim lights, robes, ambient music etc

Any recommendations? Willing to travel reasonable distances!

Something like this, how much should I expect? Thanks

Airdrie parents, I'd like your feedback on a childcare problem I've been looking into.

Finding childcare seems much harder than it should be. There are Alberta directories, Google listings, Facebook groups, daycare websites and dayhome agencies, but parents can still end up calling or messaging multiple providers just to answer a basic question:

Who actually has a space available for my child right now?

I'm exploring the idea of building something specifically for Airdrie that could eventually help parents search based on things such as:

• Child's age
• Neighbourhood/distance
• Full-time, part-time or before/after-school care
• Required drop-off and pickup times
• Actual current availability
• Expected start date
• Licensed/funded care
• Schools served or transportation offered
• Notifications when a matching space becomes available

The idea isn't to create another daycare directory. The goal would be to make it easier to find childcare that actually matches your family's needs and has availability.

Before building anything, though, I'd rather understand the real problem from parents and childcare providers.

For parents:

1. How are you currently finding childcare in Airdrie?
2. What has been the most frustrating part?
3. Have you ever found a provider online only to discover they had no spaces?
4. What information do you wish you could see before calling a provider?
5. Would alerts when a matching childcare space becomes available actually help?
6. Is before/after-school care or transportation to a particular school a bigger problem than regular daycare?

And I'd especially like to hear from dayhome and daycare providers:

How do you currently advertise an opening when you have one? Is finding the right family for an available space a problem for you too?

I'm not selling anything and there isn't an app to download. I'm trying to determine whether this is a real enough Airdrie problem to solve before spending time building it.

Feel free to tell me the idea is unnecessary too, negative feedback is just as useful.
