my internet has been down since approx 4pm friday sept 4. orange light for internet green light for wifi on my modem, but wifi not working. I've spoken to Telus a couple times, they say there is an outage in my area, but they have no estimated time to restore, which i find insane considering how long it's been off. they said less than 50 customers are impacted in my area (SW airdrie) if anyone else is down, make sure your address is added to the ticket.

Looking for a more spa like atmosphere for massage. Cozy dim lights, robes, ambient music etc

Any recommendations? Willing to travel reasonable distances!

Something like this, how much should I expect? Thanks

Airdrie parents, I'd like your feedback on a childcare problem I've been looking into.

Finding childcare seems much harder than it should be. There are Alberta directories, Google listings, Facebook groups, daycare websites and dayhome agencies, but parents can still end up calling or messaging multiple providers just to answer a basic question:

Who actually has a space available for my child right now?

I'm exploring the idea of building something specifically for Airdrie that could eventually help parents search based on things such as:

• Child's age
• Neighbourhood/distance
• Full-time, part-time or before/after-school care
• Required drop-off and pickup times
• Actual current availability
• Expected start date
• Licensed/funded care
• Schools served or transportation offered
• Notifications when a matching space becomes available

The idea isn't to create another daycare directory. The goal would be to make it easier to find childcare that actually matches your family's needs and has availability.

Before building anything, though, I'd rather understand the real problem from parents and childcare providers.

For parents:

1. How are you currently finding childcare in Airdrie?
2. What has been the most frustrating part?
3. Have you ever found a provider online only to discover they had no spaces?
4. What information do you wish you could see before calling a provider?
5. Would alerts when a matching childcare space becomes available actually help?
6. Is before/after-school care or transportation to a particular school a bigger problem than regular daycare?

And I'd especially like to hear from dayhome and daycare providers:

How do you currently advertise an opening when you have one? Is finding the right family for an available space a problem for you too?

I'm not selling anything and there isn't an app to download. I'm trying to determine whether this is a real enough Airdrie problem to solve before spending time building it.

Feel free to tell me the idea is unnecessary too, negative feedback is just as useful.

Title says most of it, I'm not really someone who can afford it but I'm kind of at a point where I have no choice. For context I'm on the autism spectrum high masking and have dealing with a disability my doctors have failed to diagnose for the last year or so. Cleaning my room (basement) is far beyond what I'm capable of anymore and while I can stand a mess I've started getting flies, centipedes (I may have gotten rid of them) and traumatizingly big spiders, to mention I have a severe irrational bug fear.

I've never had a professional I don't know how things work and I'm very worried about theift it's one I'm paranoid about to a level I've accused friends I've had for years a couple times. Aswell as I'm worried about things I care about getting thrown out. I have so many concerns it'd take ages to keep sharing.

This is NOT a post seeking to hire someone it's here because I need help with my fears and maybe at most a reccomendation. This province is fucking dangerous, people suck and I'm plagued with far too much paranoia. Living where I am has become a hell and I need help

Praying this city will come through atleast once for me 🙏

Barburrito in airdrie does not give tips to their staff. Don't tips unless you feel like supporting only the business owner.

For the second time in a week we've had our dogs leash stolen while we are at the park.

First time I caught the crusty old cunt who was just "borrowing it". This time not so likely.

If your that much of a fucking loser that you have to steal from people at a dog park. There is no hope for you.

Hell... If you need one... Just ask someone there. I'm sure one of us you give you/buy you one. Instead... You gotta be an asshole.

Does anyone ever remember getting dropped off in the co-op "day care" in the early 2000s while their parents shopped for groceries? I think it was called kids corner?

Hello: We are considering a home purchase in the Coopers Crossing area and our home insurance told us that Enhanced Water Damage coverage is not available there. So essentially seepage or flooding wouldn't be covered.

I'm wondering if others have been told this as well. Is this the case for all of Airdrie?

I can't really figure out why not as it's not near a lake or anything. They couldn't really seem to answer why they won't do it. Help! (Please) And Thanks

Hi everyone, happy Friday. I’m in urgent need of a lawyer or notary referral - someone who can execute the Release of a Dower Right, either probono or at a reduced cost.

Long story short, my ex and I signed a separation agreement back in April and I’m finally getting the house remortgaged. But the family Lawyer that he was using has gone MIA, and he hasn’t been able to sign the Dower Rights Release form - why is this my problem you ask? Because last week at court (yes we had to go to court because he stalled on signing paperwork as per our separation agreement), he disclosed that he’s not working and can’t afford to pay legal fees. The family lawyer that he already used for the separation agreement would have done this as part of her initial ILA fee… but like I said she’s MIA.

Because of how long this has taken, the new lender rate is set to expire shortly - so I really need to get this done!

If anyone can provide a referral for a contact, they know that would be able and willing to do this that would be much appreciated.

Hey u/Hspearmano , does Airdrie have something similar? I’ve had so many close calls on the pathways and today I witnessed an electric dirtbike doing over 60km/h on a path

Hello all! New to your beautiful city and just moved into a townhome. I am in the market for someone to run some CAT6 cable all over my house, does anyone have any recent experience or recommendations? I see there is a post from 2 years ago but I am hoping for a more recent picture of companies or people willing to do it. Google yielded... mixed results. Thanks in advance!

What was with all the police and hawks activity tonight? Was in the Woodside area before sunset and it was very lively!

Hi everyone! We’re looking to move to Airdrie and, given our limited budget, we’re considering looking for homes directly from owners in addition to the traditional route through a realtor.
We haven’t signed an exclusive agreement with any realtor yet, so we’re exploring all of our options.
For those who have bought a home directly from an owner in Airdrie, do you have any tips or things we should be aware of?
Any advice on the process, potential risks, or how to find FSBO listings would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you know of someone that provides weekly cleaning service in and around Airdrie. One of the elderly couples I know was looking for a cleaner that would come in on a weekly schedule and help them with their regular cleaning and upkeep of their house. They are not looking to pay top dollars for a company and prefer someone flexible to come in on hourly basis as needed.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! TIA

Hi,

We are looking to find someone who can come in weekly for regular cleaning. This will be regular residential cleaning. Supplies will be provided.

Let me know if you are interested. Thanks in advance

The train is stopped and police are investigating, avoid the area at all costs.

By the old Peavy mart on Yankee Valley.

My City of Airdrie utility bill has gone up a significant amount ($40+) for the each of last two months. We have not changed our water usage, and no leaks that we are aware of. Anyone else’s bills going up like crazy?

Anyone else see them?

need to rant a little bit.. but as someone who has been driving in Airdrie for about 10 years, i don’t think i’ve ever been as scared in residential neighbourhoods as i’ve been this year. even when going the speed limit and checking corners, kids will come out of nowhere on scooters and bikes and scare the ever living sh’t out of me. they are going so fast and do not check for cars at all. and they ride all over the street.

if there’s any parents on here, could you please remind your kiddos about the importance of traffic safety! the very last thing we need is a kiddo getting hurt trying to enjoy their summer. tia (:

Radio was yapping about it today, tl;dr its way cheaper but usually not marbled/ fed diff stuff so tastes different.

Either way has anyone seen it on store shelves, and if you've tried it how is it? Thanks!

Hello all. We are in the process of searching for a daycare for our 1yo, currently choosing between Magic Mountain (Sierra Springs) & Airdrie Daycare (First Ave) but we don't have much time to decide.

We liked how clean, spacious and organized Magic Mountain Sierra Springs was, but we don't know anybody whose children are enrolled there to get the insider scoop. The staff member that showed us around was great but we realize it's a huge organization and she was one admin.

We know a few people whose kids are at Airdrie Daycare First Ave, and they have good things to say about it which is swaying us in that direction even though we were slightly less impressed during our tour there (nothing major, the space just felt more out-dated and less tailored to children since it's a converted house, although it wasn't as cramped as their other locations). Seemed like parking might be an issue during peak times but that's obviously not a deciding factor. We quite liked the Director there as well.

Wondering if anyone is willing to share negative/positive experiences at either daycare to help us make our decision. Of course we've checked Google reviews, but that particular Airdrie Daycare location only has 5 reviews so it's not much to go off of, and the Magic Mountain has plenty but they are quite polarizing and many of the reviews seem to be from years ago when they were under different ownership.

Thanks in advance!
