For any cyclists trying to hit Cold Garden and coming from the N, avoid 12 St SE like the plague. Zero accommodations for 2-wheelers while they dig up the road. Instead, do this detour via 8 Ave>11 St>11 Ave SE. Back to normal on 12 St SE from the railway bridge south

this would be a fun outing for the Kidical Crew (I've done it a couple of times with my 2). Great campground, close to Banff and relatively easy to book, even in July/August:

Ah man, I was chattering on about Paradise Valley and one of my most amazing (easy) backpacking adventures at Pa10 I had gone to 20 years ago. I thought it closed forever bc of bear activity, but nope, it's just a logistical mess. Thx to

So uh, NG and propane don’t smell that way naturally, we add the sour smell so people know to avoid the hazard and call 911, and yet, our Fire Chief is saying uh, don’t call? This is some pretty terrible messaging

Stephen Ave used to be my route into the core, but started avoiding it after the debacle that is the Arts Commons/Glenbow/Stephen Ave utility work. Still an unsafe debacle… effectively walking/cycling through an active work site. Avoid.

This week’s court hearings on Alberta separatism could be massive in determining if AB could split and sever First Nations treaties, whether by citizen initiative or otherwise. (And péquistes may want to pay heed, too):

ANALYSIS | First Nations' court challenge may block Alberta separatism itself, not just petition drive | CBC News
The argument lawyers are making: since treaties are between Indigenous people and Canada, a province trying to leave would be ripping up treaties.

The promise Mayor Farkas and team made to Calgarians on the campaign trail was repeal and replace. And no repeal before a replacement plan was determined. This is a promise made but not kept.

friends! Looking at kicking off Kidical Mass' 2026 season. I tried to do a poll/vote for a May weekend, but there is already so much going on in May, so the only date available is May 2. MARK YOUR CALENDARS! I hope to see you out there (& would love some more adult volunteers to cork!).
