Following the December 2025 break of the Bearspaw South Feeder Main a protection plan included a temporary barrier to ensure the communities of Bowness, Montgomery and Parkdale were protected in the event of another break. It is now safe to remove that barrier! 🎉

Breaking: Today's Urgent Notice of Motion to extend Stampede tent hours to 1:00am was defeated. Noise rules will tighten this year after record complaints from engaged residents. Sun–Thu concerts end at midnight Lower dB limits (70/80 before midnight; lower bass after) No change for Fri/Sat concerts

Looks like the fun police have struck again in Alberta, this time targeting people trying to enjoy a pint. By raising the minimum price of a beer from $3.20 to $5 (a 60% increase) the provincial government will negatively affect thousands of workers and create additional problems.

This should not come as a surprise to Penny Lane. Their representative were present at the @ward7calgary.bsky.social town hall meeting on March 9 where those affected neighbours expressed concern and provided feedback that the city has taken into consideration.

According to a memo to city council from #Calgary Community Standards chief Ryan Pleckaitis, obtained by Global News, weeknight concerts during the Calgary Stampede must end at midnight, with “cool-down music” permitted until 12:30 a.m. to “support the safe and orderly exit of patrons.”
