[Gilbertson] Flames forward Jakob Pelletier with the line of the day (and a gentle dig at the old boss): “I think it’s easier for the coaches to know the No. 22 to the No. 49. It’s a joke. Just kidding, just kidding.” https://www.rawchili.com/3082190/

Hey, Viktor!, a #mockumentary by Cody Lightning, is a #rowdy reference back to Lightning’s earliest days in #movies playing young Victor Joseph in #SmokeSignals.

The film is closing the #imagineNATIVE #Film + #Media #Arts #Festival and will be shown in #Vancouver, #Calgary and #Edmonton as well.
Watch for it in select festivals in the U.S. and in #theatres soon.

We're only a day into Autumn and my camera gallery already has about one thousand pictures of trees.

I will try to refrain from posting them all. 😏

The fog this morning matches my mood.
The light and color is still there, just with slightly subdued hues.

We know that the sunshine is out there even on days that it's harder to see.

Hey #Calgary, #Alberta, #Canada. Our response to the anti-LGBT rally downtown the other day was garbage. Can we work together to make sure people are aware of what's going on so that we can organize and respond?

It was a bit cool and felt like Autumn while harvesting veggies from our community garden this morning, but sunshine, blue sky and this Sunflower watching over the garden provided summer vibes.

Happy #Monday everyone! #Today is a work day. I don’t mind it. I actually like Mondays. Feels like a fresh start after the weekend. It’s so dark in the morning now. Used to be light out at this time (6:30 AM mountain time). Trees are getting yellow, days are getting shorter. Here’s a pic from yesterday. If you’re reading this, hope you have a good week ahead! #Calgary #Alberta #Canada

Lots of yellow leaves on the ground. Close up of the leaves, with only a little blurry glimpse of the road and sky at the top of the frame.

Here's how #Alberta 's reactionary right-wing provincial government "protects the children".

Six kids remain on dialysis, and nearly 400 sickened by an outbreak at 11 Calgary daycares"

At today's press conference on the Calgary daycare E. Coli outbreak:

Reporter: "Can you explain to those parents who have kids in hospitals why it's taken the chief medical officer of health and the minister of health a week to even address this publicly?"

CMOH: "...We didn't feel there was urgency to do that up until this point."

Health Minister: "...I believe what Dr. Joffe meant was that it was urgent from the very, very beginning."

The warm glow of early morning sunshine in September highlights the changing colour of the leaves on a tree beside a paved pathway in the park.

Another lucky-ish find was this Osprey just hanging out by the Bow River near downtown Calgary.

I initially spotted it from across the river, but was near enough to a bridge that I was able to pop over to the other side for a closer shot.

For years, Alberta published robust, consistent data on class sizes for each public, separate and charter school in the province.

But in 2019, the UCP government put an end to that.

Today, we have to rely on anecdotes to try and figure out what's going on:

Calgary has been blanketed by smoke for nearly three full weeks this wildfire season, already surpassing the previous record set in 2018 and obliterating readings that were considered normal in previous decades:

I still can't believe how lucky I was to first hear and then find this beauty while biking through #Calgary!

I took several photos, but also just stood and watched it in awe for a long time with the camera off. What a magnificent and majestic creature.

A1: This week I'm hailing from #yyc / #Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Took the week off to come down, bike around some, visit friends, and just generally have a change of scenery.

Instead of looking forward, I want to take a moment to look back and say I really enjoyed hanging out with @CoffeeOutside this morning! Enjoyed meeting @localluminary, @PedalHoppy, and many others, and seeing @mfenniak again after 20 years!

So, like, is everybody house poor now?

Just looking at some of the latest mortgage data and wow. 😮

I'm working on a story about this for CBC Calgary and looking to speak with people who recently renewed a mortgage and got stuck with higher payments.

(Ideally people in #Calgary, specifically, or #Alberta, generally. But open to anyone!)

Anyone want to share their mortgage story? Or know anyone who'd be willing to chat with me about that?

As I drove out of Calgary today the smoke was so thick but just west of the city it’s been so, so much better.

I spent a lot of time this afternoon just breathing the air and looking at the blue sky and appreciating it all.

Amazing how much you take clean air for granted until it’s gone.

Just how bad is the air in Calgary right now?

This chart shows the past five days.

Huge spike in particulate matter on Tuesday and, after a brief reprieve overnight, it's surging again today. 😷

For folks in smoke areas - here is smoke forecasting:

Plan ahead. Use respirators when outside. Build a Corsi-Rosenthal box to help with air cleaning inside your home.
