Calgary police lay fraud and weapons charges, say more could be coming
Here's a list of events from LiveWire detailing a number of things you're able to do in Calgary for Canada Day.
Article by CBC detailing the absurd policy Calgary's Catholic School Board has with deadnaming trans youth, despite other Catholic school boards in the province not having such policies.
Very cool and optimistic piece by LiveWire. Crazy to think that overall the new busses will be less expensive to maintain. Looking forward to the whole fleet being replaced.
The two ridings, Calgary-Acadia and Calgary-Glenmore, both were won by the NDP by less than 50 votes.
Piece from LiveWire Calgary detailing an altercation between anti-trans protesters and counterprotestors in support of the LGBTQIA+ community. Kinda weird how the "protect the kids" crowd is out here assaulting youth.
Fun article about the newly installed Welcome Booth on Stephen Ave set up by Tourism Calgary to help people find things to do in the city.
I don't follow Stampede too much having grew up in Edmonton, but I thought this was a neat announcement to have, having an astronaut be the parade marshal and all.
A news article describing what's happened in the last six months with councillor Dan Mclean after video of him using slurs against indigenous people surfaced.
Great piece by CBC detailing the city's Farm Stand program, and the struggles it has with it's success. Interesting to note is how the article mentions that the prices for local produce seem to be cheaper than at the grocery store.
