Had they gone with Alberta's official motto (as in the Latin one), I could have gotten behind the rebrand. Using the English translation, which just so happens to match the UCP's official motto, is crass partisan politicking in my view. The graphic plate designs are also boring. Plus, in the...

Wish they had kept the old mustache pool design with the bar. It would have made for some epic Stampede parties with the views of the fireworks and the grounds. The new design is more or less just a pool.

Was trying to think of the best description of what came to mind when I saw this one and I think quirkiness is absolutely spot on. Agreed that it's not necessarily in a bad way either.

New rec facility and library coming to the SW. https://calgary.citynews.ca/2025/09/10/calgary-belmont-fieldhouse-library/

The Crescent Heights Village BIA has been campaigning for a change to Centre St south of 16th Ave for years. Whether it comes from surface running Green Line, dedicated bus lanes or just a simple road diet, the businesses of that area appear to feel strongly that the current car sewer status quo...

New aviation training centre to be built at YYC through a partnership between CAE and WestJet. Combined with the Lufthansa Technik engine overhaul facility also being built through a partnership with WestJet, the vision of making Calgary an aviation industry hub is starting to take shape...
