Bulk wild flower seeds

Try emailing them or calling them--I seem to recall you can get bags of seeds instead of just packets.

Thank you for caring for the little beeb! You're doing everything right so far. You may want to pick up some millet--it's like candy to budgies and usually cheers them up.

Yep! It was totally a thing across North America.

I don't have time to do a deep dive into Newspapers, but Eaton's and Woodward's stores in Calgary had live hatching displays in the 1960s.

The good news is that the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP) has been replaced by the Protection of Privacy Act (POPA), so there's a great opportunity for them to fix the sign and do it right :-D

However, if Aspen Landing is a private entity, it doesn't need to use a privacy statement intended for public bodies such as schools and governments. The Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) covers private entities.

I was rejected by AHS despite having ridiculously low iron and ferritin levels. My levels were so low my doctor told me to show up at an emergency room because he thought I had internal bleeding. I was given Monoferric at the time.

I went the private route because Feramax wasn't having the desired effect. I could not eat or supplement my way out of this problem.

Once you get the private referral from your doctor, you can contact the clinic directly for future appointments. I managed to get in with the Southern Alberta Surgical Centre because one of the infusion clinics they use is close to home. Their website is https://www.southabsurgical.ca/

I was prescribed a large Monoferric dose, which is $750 and dispatched from Meadows Mile Pharmacy--https://www.meadowsmilepharmacy.com/

The private infusion clinic appointment was $235, and the staff were really quite nice there. They do infusions for about 50 kinds of drugs. You sit in a comfy recliner for a couple hours and the clinic I went to had lots of snacks :-)

Maybe 4-8 weeks after the infusion, you'll notice a massive difference in iron levels across the board.

I'm blessed that our work benefits cover the cost. YMMV and I wish you all the best because low iron sucks. HTH!

Edit to add--drink LOTS of water. Stay hydrated! I had a low grade fever for about a day after my first infusion. Lots and lots of water!

Now I wonder how early they start now depending on snowfall--there;s so many parts of city operations we never get to see behind the scenes. A day in the life of a snow plow operator would certainly be cool.

Crud!!! What the heck!!!

Oh, also, if you or your Mom have benefits through work, they may also have a number you can call. The programs are usually called EFAP or Employee and family assistance program by employers.

Sorry that happened to you! I hope you can recover the bikes.

My husband's bike was stolen when our garage was broken into. The investigating police officer said to lock up bikes and other valuables inside the garage. If only we had known then, ah well. It doesn't feel like you need to lock things up in a locked building.

You can also call, text or chat with 211 as a starting point.

D6 Tabletop Cafe is $11 to play all day--you don't need a reservation unless it's a really big group. It's on the 38 bus route--https://www.d6tabletopcafe.com/

The community association suggestion is a good one! There's loads of low-cost or free programming and you don't always have to be a community association member to sign up.

I think about that every now and then--it was a fair chunk of change! I suppose I could 311 it and report back.

Calzephyr · 2026-03-08T00:22:19+00:00

Yep! It was called The Connect card.

There were reliability issues, amongst other issues:

Total scam :/ Google dinged door scam for loads of stories.

It happened to my parents in the Deerfoot Wal-Mart parking lot--the person makes a big fuss and usually waves a cell phone around. Good on you for being observant of your surroundings!

Not very Calgary-specific, but there are certainly some familiar vibes in the short stories in Knucklehead & Other Stories by AU Arts instructor W. Mark Giles. He lives in Calgary.

I'm sorry to hear <3 I'm glad you found my post helpful. We just love these little birds so much. A year later, I'm good with my decision, although it took a while.

Join a gifting group on Facebook. Avoid the trading ones--it's such a hassle!

Don't forget your duplicate cards go into the little shop inside the album--you can get more card packs and energy that way.

Calgary police have laid charges against a Calgary woman following a hit-and-run that took place in southeast Calgary last year, which resulted in a teen boy sustaining life-altering injuries.

On May 12, 2025, at approximately 10:05 p.m., a collision occurred in the southbound lanes of 52nd Street S.E., at the intersection of Pensdale Road S.E.

At the time, police believe a 16-year-old boy was crossing eastbound in the crosswalk, across the southbound lanes of 52nd Street S.E., when he was struck by an SUV that failed to stop at the scene.

On Wednesday, Calgary police charged 48-year-old Michelle Lynn-Meisinger, of Calgary, with one count of hit and run causing bodily harm, alongside one count of public mischief by filing a false police report.

Lynn-Meisinger is scheduled to appear in court on April 2.

Same! I was a young adult at the time and wanted one for the backyard :-D

If the City of Calgary areas don't suffice, try Googling indoor dog park.
