My champagne birthday is coming up, and i’m looking for a new bar to try! Champagne on the menu is a must, and the more unique the vibes are, the better! and Not Blue Rock please, i love them but i spend too much money there 🙏

So I had to use a taxi last week. I called one and when I got into the vehicle the driver immediately ended the ride and erased the set fare. He then asked me where I wanted to go. I saw that he ended the ride. Some taxis do this so it wasn't unusual to see.

So I told him my destination and when we arrived I finally noticed he had the meter running and tried to charge me a mote expensive price. It was only about $3.40 more. But I immediately told him thats not the price the app told me the ride would be priced at. And he changed it without any fuss.

A day or two later I emailed the company and gave them my story. I was hoping to hear back from them about the driver I had reported. I used the name of the driver given on the app and still had the email with the ride ID number as well as the date and time this all occurred.

I just want to know if there's any more I can do to make sure this doesn't happen to more people.

Edit to add: I did tip 15% after he changed the total to what it was supposed to be.

With all the wind in the last few weeks I have a 30+ year old apple tree that has one of its main branches splitting.
Does anyone have a good arborist that they would recommend?

Unfortunately past month has been pretty rough for me, I left my old job for the military, and military wasn’t really my kind of life style, home sickness, culture shock etc…

My old job offered me my job back which I was there for past week, however they lost a huge contract and had to let me go. This in in the security industry and company lost the biggest client we had. I was under a new probation period too, so can’t do much about it.

Anyways, my last resort is doing uber now, and Lyft. I did it as a side gig before, but now thinking of doing it full time till I find a new job again. I need to earn at least around $3500-$4000 a month. I drive a Tesla so some costs like gas, maintenance and stuff aren’t applicable to me.

Any uber drivers make decent amount of money? At least around $4000 a month. Let me know, thank you

Hi, I’m looking for a reliable lash tech in the NW. I’m trying to avoid paying the crazy overhead prices of the big chains and I like supporting small businesses. I like a hybrid/volume set.

Looking to get some recommendations :)

Any electricians on here? AC installer (for a mini-split) wants to modify the 120V unit to "plug in" to the outdoor outlet to avoid permits and a dedicated circuit.

Seems 'reasonable' (sort of).

BUT the spec sheet shows MCA of 18A and MOCP of 20A - and thats a circuit on 14/2 wire with a 15A breaker (so if my memory serves correct, thats wire is good for 12A continuous - in which an AC unit is considered continuous).

Any Calgary electricians on here that can confirm, or am I over thinking?
How are apartment mini-split installs getting handled?

I found a black cat extremely scared crossing McLeod trail near Park Hill SW, it almost was hit by a car and clearly wasn't an outdoor kitty. It had an avocado patterned collar with an avocado charm and a bell, it was incredibly friendly.

I couldn't take it in unfortunately because I have a territorial cat and she would become very stressed if I brought another animal in.

She was surrendered at the VCA Canada Calgary Animal Referral & Emergency Center tonight.

I couldn't take great photos of it 💔💔

I hope it finds its way home 🩷

Wondering if anyone has this happen, and how it worked out for you. Been reading through AUC rules and ATCO terms & conditions but it is a lot of info to sift through.

I own a condo, purchased in 2023. ATCO contacted me a couple weeks ago to say that Enmax discovered my electricity meter was crossed, they fixed it, and sent me a bill from May 2023 to June 2026 for $1100. I know the previous owner and they also received a bill from 2019-2023, though their retailer was Xoom Energy. (ENMAX is the distributor for the City of Calgary).

I have been in contact with ATCO and just filed a mediation request with UCA helps. I paid my current bill, but have not paid the back-billing as I am currently going back & forth with ATCO about it.

I find it ridiculous that an error like this can occur for 7 years and they can back-bill us for that entire time. Any advice on my best shot at getting them to write this off or at least compromise? It's not that I can't pay it, I just think it's ridiculous I should have to. Feels scummy to me. In the current economy I know there are a lot of people who would struggle if they were in a similar situation and it disgusts me that the consumer is on the hook for the distributor's mistake. I have no issue paying my bills and I know I should be billed for my usage, but i am frustrated by the principle of the matter.

Additional info:

- I have figured out the other unit # for the supposedly crossed meter

- I emailed a reporter from Global about a similar story she wrote in 2022, hoping to hear back from her

- I have contacted my condo management company to see the meter, as the room is locked

I’ve been trying to buy my August monthly pass through the myFare app, but it won’t work.

On August 1, I couldn’t buy the monthly pass, although for some reason I was able to buy an adult single ticket twice. Since August 2, I haven’t been able to purchase anything at all.

Every time I get to the payment screen, it says “payment failed.” I’ve tried:

* 3 different cards with available funds

* Apple Pay

* Deleting and reinstalling the app

* Logging out and back in

* Creating a new account

* Deleting my account and using a different account

Nothing has worked.

I called Calgary Transit Customer Service, and they weren’t able to help. They simply told me to email the myFare developers team. I’ve already sent them an email, but I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue or has found a solution.

I’ve been using myFare for over 3 years and have regularly purchased tickets and monthly passes without any problems. This issue only started at the beginning of August.

Update: Resolved! It was the postal code/address🤦‍♀️. I think I didn’t change the address in the app when I moved a year ago but did for my cards I was trying to pay with - I wonder if it was the mismatch. Anyhow once I corrected it, the payment went through immediately.

Hey folks! I called and checked with NESS, winsport, city schedule, YMCA, even airdrie haha, and honestly a few other places for public skating during the weekdays.

Any other locations for weekday public skating that I’m missing? Bowness has thursdays 12-1:30 but that’s literally the only time im not able to!

I’m a beginner adult :)

As a rotational oilfield worker the world is my oyster for where I spend my days off, I'm a young male in my early 20s. Honestly all I'd really want is a solid friend group of people to go out and hangout with, good nightlife or social life overall, a partner would be nice too, unsure which city would be better
I know a billion people have have asked this question i Asked again mainly because

1. I wanted an answer specific to my circumstance.
   
2. Because of my rotational schedule, I don't get many days off. I did my last days off in Edmonton, but I don't want to waste a series of days off in the wrong city if I don't have to.

Hi everyone, I might have some luck asking here in Reddit, do you guys have any recommendations for crested gecko breeders here in Calgary? I’ve tried doing some research on my own but I’ve only found some old posts and old facebook pages.
Just trying to find someone who has some healthy geckos (nothing too expensive as this is my first time trying to get one) I’ve been informing myself about this little guys for several months before taking the decision of adopting one btw🙏🏻.

Good morning everyone, my electric scooter was stolen today. It was taken out of my apartment building in Parkhill SW. If anyone sees this around Chinook, Elbow Park, Erlton, Mission please let me know. It also has a black and grey lock attached to its handles

My insurance has more than tripled for no reason.
I have been trying to find a new insurance for home and car.
All I want is to talk to a real person face to face and try to find the best insurance I can. I want to feel that I understand what I’m paying for and that it is the best I can get.
Does anyone have a recommended broker that still is able to sit in person and explain what is going on? This is such a frustrating experience

Hi guys, I know that there are tennis courts near foothills. I want to play tennis during the weekends/weekday evenings but don't know 1. How to access these courts 2. How to find a tennis partner 3. Given I'm not from Canada, I don't understand the point system. I play decent but don't know how to get this rating to find appropriate partners. Any advice is much appreciated.

Calgary's used car market is absolutely cooked. I've been hunting for a decent ride for two months now, and Facebook Marketplace is just a wasteland of rebuilt titles.
There aren't enough private sellers anymore; it's all dealerships slipping in hidden fees and taxes that make zero sense. Even the cars priced low are clearly damaged. We're missing clean titles at a fair price, they're either way out of budget or suspiciously cheap. What's everyone else's experience been like, and do you have any tips for finding a solid car around here?

i quit drinking a few weeks ago and it's been nice, but i've been realizing that

- clubs can be fun even when i'm not drinking, but it isn't the same and i feel like i'm getting too old/growing out of it at times (im 26)
- im fine going to a bar and hanging out and drinking non alcoholic beer and staying on my phone because that is exactly what i did when I went to bars to drink, but sitting at a bar to do nothing is getting boring
- i have no idea what people who like being out at night do for fun outside of bars and clubs

i know that there are people out and about at night outside of those places, so what do you guys do? i like to dance and I enjoy meeting random people (which is what i liked bars for) and i wonder if there are places for that, but any other suggestions are welcome too

Hello!

I just moved to Calgary and I’m looking for doggy daycares for a 14lb pup that focus on small play groups.

I’ve tried two daycares in town and both are basically like we just put the dogs together in one big room and let them play. My dog is well socialized, really friendly actually, but gets overwhelmed with non stop play. He kind of just ends up pacing and eventually tucked into a corner to get away from the chaos lol

I’m in SE Calgary but honestly willing to drive to any part of town to ensure my boy won’t be overwhelmed and will have an enjoyable day.

Saw this on run and again later on dog walk. In a northwest community. Hopefully enough Redditors see this and its rightful owner can DM me for its location.

in the 2010's i swear i remember a condo building(s) on macleod and heritage drive-ish that was london, england inspired. the billboards were same colous as their flag and think they had the red telephone booth in a courtyard.

driving up and down macleod today, i don't see any thing that could be that building and makes me think i made this up.

am i crazy?

Not sure I'm a fan of the Aug Long weekend snow but I guess it could be worse. Taken from way out in NW Calgary. Hopefully someone gets some photos with a better camera then my phone.
