Mucho Burrito has been my favourite burrito place for almost 10 years. Specifically the Shawnessy location. I have had the same order for ages (with adaptations with their menu changes) and today was my first time eating it in a couple months. I got the regular size burrito. I immediately noticed it looked smaller than I remembered, lifting it, it also felt a lot lighter. And most noticeably I have never ever been able to eat a Mucho Burrito with one hand and I would usually not be able to eat the whole thing or I would be so full that I could not eat for the rest of the day. Today I was able to easily eat it with one hand like it was a slightly larger breakfast wrap.

I will say this, this portion is actually nicer. It perfectly filled me up and I didnt feel ridiculously over stuffed after finishing it. With that being said, if the price matched the portion then I would have no complaint, but the prices have gone up over the last few years and the portions are getting smaller.

Has anyone else noticed this at Mucho? I just need to feel like i'm not going crazy.

Many people have asked what we mean when we ask residents to "check their property." In this video, Sergeant Chris Martin demonstrates how to properly search areas where Parker may seek shelter.

What might not make sense to you could make sense to Parker.

Please thoroughly check your own property and any public spaces you are permitted to access. Do not enter or search private property without permission.

Parker is known to enter accessible buildings and can lock doors behind him. Check homes, garages, sheds, vehicles, trailers, RVs, storage areas, under decks, between fences & hedges, & anywhere a child may seek shelter from the heat.

Parker is neurodivergent & non-verbal & may become frightened if approached by strangers. If you see him, do not approach. Keep him in sight & call 911 immediately.

Vibes check needed on Calgary soccer programs. I am in the northwest/just outside inner city and would really like to know what the clubs are all about. I know about Blizzards, but that’s about it. Tell me your experiences, the vibes, the size, the coaching quality, and most importantly whether the kids have fun. Hive mind, educate me!

Hi there! I've been really craving crab apples lately. Everyday I walk by the crab apple trees on 36th St beside Olive Garden and idk if I'm allowed to pick them. Google also says those apples might contain a lot of chemicals from all the car exhaust and run-off and such.

Is there anywhere in the city to pick crab apples for free that are clean and pesticide-free? I read there's some at the U of C campus but I've never seen them in all my years there. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

Edit: Wow so many offers from people to let me pick their trees! If you are serious about your offer, please DM me so I can get your address. I won't be able to make it to everyone but I'd like to find somewhere decently close to me so I don't have to drive too far! Thanks so much! Also I love all kinds of fruit so if you have berries or other fruits growing please let me know! I would be interested in taking those off your hands, as well! :)

Has anyone else seen these? It feels like a fever dream when it comes across my feed.

While Calgary and the surrounding areas are currently not under any heat warnings (as of Wednesday at 6 a.m.), that could change later in the day as a ridge of high pressure brings a lot of warm air into southern Alberta.

The typical criteria for a heat warning to be issued for Calgary is three consecutive days of highs of 29 C or warmer and overnight lows of 15 C or warmer.

I usually float the Bow from Bowness park to Princess island and wondering if there’s a safe option to go much further. Could you go all the way south of the city to Fish Creek?

Looking at Google maps, it looks like the water is roped off just before Harvie Passage. Can you get past it?

Thanks!

hello!

i have a 2013 VW beetle that i got a few years ago. it had some rust at buying, but the seller also painted over a bunch as well so it definitely needs some work.

i’m wondering if anyone can recommend a good shop where i can get a quote for repair and repainting what is repaired? additionally, im not a huge car person so would love if anyone knows of a shop that has good people and is trusted.

i live in the SE but willing to drive a bit. thanks!

Hey Calgary. I've got some water damage from a sink that over flowed. Leaked through the floor into the garage ceiling. It is just a small area that has some visible water staining but no swelling or anything. I also want to change the vanity in the washroom with the drain connections from the wall. Can anyone recommend a local contractor. I've done some digging and any company I find just does bigger jobs. I heard about Jake of all trades in a separate post but can't find any actual reviews online.

I appreciate any suggestions and thanks for the advice!

Police now warning of donation scam as search for missing Calgary boy continues

About 6 months ago, I came here asking for recommendations that might help my father. A number of you took the time to respond, share your experiences, and suggest things that could make life a little easier for him.

I wanted to come back and thank everyone properly. Some of those recommendations really did help him, and he was genuinely appreciative. Knowing that something suggested by fellow Calgarians online brought him even a little comfort means more to me than I can properly express. Especially since he loved Calgary dearly.

My father has since passed away (a week ago today). I have been thinking about the people who helped us along the way, including the people in this community who took a few minutes to offer advice when we needed it.

Thank you for your kindness. It made a real difference to him, and I will always remember that.

Has anyone been to see the dinosaur exhibit at telus spark? We don't take our kids often because I find the exhibits kind of tired and thus not worth the price. But the new exhibit has us interested, and I was wondering if anyone had any reviews to share.

Black bike panier bag containing a laptop and change of clothes found at 1st sw and 2 Ave SW.

If you can tell me the brand of laptop, the shirt and bottoms colour and the brand of the bag in a pm, let's find a way to get this back to you.

**update. The laptop has a name and company attached when I powered it up. Contacted and we'll see what happens.

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you today. Calgary Co-op has appointed Andrew Clarke as our new Chief Executive Officer. After a thorough search process, we’re tremendously excited, proud and fortunate to have attracted someone of Andrew’s caliber to the Calgary Co-op.

Andrew is a globally experienced retail leader whose career spans thirty years and four continents, beginning at Marks & Spencer in the UK, through senior retail roles in Europe, the United States, and beyond. He brings deep expertise in retail strategy and operations, and a proven record of building high-performing teams and leading businesses through complex and consequential moments.

But numbers and titles only tell part of his story.

Andrew describes himself as a shopkeeper at heart, and he means it literally. He grew up in his family's egg and dairy business just outside the village of Cheddar in rural Somerset, England, watching his father build something from nothing after a mid-life transition from corporate banking.

"It was not always plain sailing," Andrew reflects. "One thing kept my family going: the love of what we did and our complete dedication to serving our customers and our community."

That experience has never left him. "There is no greater responsibility," he says simply, "than putting food on a hard-working customer's table." It is that belief he brings to Calgary Co-op.

Andrew has spent the past three months immersed in our food stores, gas stations, pharmacies, and operations, listening to team members, walking sales floors, and hearing directly from members about what makes our Co-op special and where we can do better. He has already been working alongside the Executive Leadership Team, and together they have begun shaping a new strategy which is named: Rooted in Community, Growing Value for Members.

IN HIS OWN WORDS:

"Close to 500,000 members own this co-operative. Members own our grocery stores, our gas stations, our pharmacies, our liquor stores, our organic supermarkets, healthcare and cannabis locations. Every dollar spent in our stores goes back into Calgary. That makes us genuinely unique as a retailer.”

"New strategies and improving our financials are important, but my number one priority is serving members better. Because when we do that, we win, and in turn, our members win. We are not here to process transactions. We are here to serve members. Everything starts and ends with that premise."

"It says CEO on my badge, but I lead with a shopkeeper mindset. I am not here to tell members what they want. I am here to listen to what members want and develop the strategies and lead our teams to deliver exactly that."

"My tenure at Calgary Co-op has started on the sales floor, and it will continue there. I truly believe our best ideas can come from anywhere in our organization. I would love for you, our members, to join me and my new team in continuing to tell us how you want your Co-op to serve you better."

"It costs just $1 to become a Calgary Co-op member for life, and we need to do a better job of communicating the benefits. This is your Co-op. I am genuinely honoured to become its CEO and to serve you."

This leadership transition is happening at a meaningful moment for our cooperative. For generations, Calgarians have looked out for one another, rolled up their sleeves, and built strong communities together. When our founders opened Calgary Co-op, they built it on that same spirit. Seventy years later, we remain owned by our members, shaped by generations of Calgarians, and committed to investing, growing, and serving the communities and the city we call home.

Every day, 3,800 Calgarians come to work for us, from pharmacists who know you by name to team members who stock our shelves with care or fill your car before you start a wintery commute. Our Best from the West, Cal & Gary's, and Founders & Farmers brands reflect the values our founders believed in and the quality our members are proud to bring home. Every dollar spent here stays here. It is returned to members through patronage and reinvested into new stores, local food banks, community programs, and initiatives that support health, wellness, and food security across our city. When our cooperative thrives, Calgary thrives.

We feed Calgarians. We transport Calgarians. We care for Calgarians. We are woven into the fabric of everyday life in this city. We are Calgary’s store and now with a new CEO, this is a new chapter.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, please join me in welcoming Andrew Clarke to the Calgary Co-op family.

Sandy Edmonstone

Board Chair, Calgary Co-operative Association Limited

I see a lot of outdated posts and what not, but I'm wondering about good Taco Tuesday deals, more concerned with price than quality, but I want to hear it all.

Thanks!
