Hey everyone! I’m a 30 year old guy looking to find some hiking buddies. I’ve done quite a few hikes this year around Crowsnest Pass and Waterton, but I’ve run into one problem. Apparently my friends think a good walk is from the couch to the fridge.
I know hiking solo isn’t always the smartest idea, especially once you’re getting into the mountains. I’m well prepared with the gear and knowledge to handle most situations, but having good company is always better than relying on my ability to explain to a bear that I’m not worth the calories.
I’d say I’m an intermediate hiker and I’m hoping to tackle a few more mountain hikes before the season winds down. It would be great to build a group of people who are up for day hikes from time to time. If you’re looking for another hiking partner or want to grow your own hiking crew, let me know!

This is a huge loss to the community. Hopefully there are other venues that can help fill the gap and I hope the founders stay active in the community in whatever capacity they can.

I have been to dozens of cities and used dozens of transit systems in several countries around the world. No where is it worse than in Lethbridge. Once again today, the app led me astray. The app tells me to catch a bus downtown at 11:35. That bus arrives with the right number. I board the bus....it then proceeds to completely ignore the route on the app and go to another destination (North Walmart). Well the app screws up again. Then I get to the North Walmart station and the driver tells me I can jump onto the bus ahead of us to take me where I want to go. As we pull up to the station, it drives off....so much for transfering. This happens often. A 20 min trip turns into 1.5 hours, and it happens way too often. This time I just had my spouse drive to pick me up. But it goes beyond just a messed up app. The routes and numbers make zero sense. They do not serve us well. I think they depend on "data" over actual common sense. The service is so unreliable that people just don't use it. The city planners, council and transit planners do not use this system on a regular basis because if they did they would fix it. Tourists must have a fun time. All our transit stops have a sign with a number. No indication of what bus routes stop there. No schedule on the poll to say where it is going with a full week and weekend schedule and map (Winnipeg does a great job at this). Nothing. Just a number, like 14006. What does that even mean for the average tourist? If its telebus to phone and find out when the bus is going to come, there is no number to call that is posted. Tourists don't know about the app, and if they did they would find it doesn't work right half the time.

The transit system needs to go old school in every way. Paper schedule, posted routes and schedules and bus routes that are straight forward. I also heard from drivers that the latest adjustment makes it hard to have breaks and that they no longer interact as often with other drivers, making it lonely on the job. Our city is SMALL. For the love of God, figure it out.

Hey everyone! I just got accepted into residence at Lethbridge Polytechnic and I'll be moving from Calgary this fall. The flat landscape in Lethbridge is definitely going to be a big change from Calgary's rolling hills lol.

Does anyone have recommendations for good places to go for walks or explore around the city? I'd love to hear about your favorite trails, parks, or scenic spots!

Especially for mental health breaks during exam season, cheers!

What is the best clinic that I can go to for a walk-in appointment?

I was born and raised in Lethbridge, but moved away for university, and my main doctor is in BC. Now I am home for the summer and need to see a doctor ASAP this week. What is the best clinic I can go to that will allow me a guaranteed visit that same day? I don't mind if I am waiting for hours; I just need to see a doctor asap.

Thank you1

Hi all!
We are having an August 2027 wedding and I am looking for vendor recommendations.

We are having our wedding in Waterton at an Airbnb, small group maybe 20-30 people.

Having a hard time finding hairstylist & makeup artists.

Also still looking for floral recommendations or I’ll try to do my own.

And need chair rentals

Closer to Waterton national parks the better!!

Like the title says, looking for the best sights and views in the area. Will be visiting next month and want the nicest sunset views if possible! TIA

Edit- I guess I should have mentioned there won’t be a ton of time for activities outside of town. We are in town for an event that weekend with family/friends but I wanted to take my spouse somewhere to see a great sunset as it will be her first time in western Canada. Thank you for all the suggestions! The trail behind the Galt Museum sounds like our best option

Don't get out very often but finally getting together with some friends for a long overdue beer and a bit of food.

Any good Tuesday pub specials to share?

Hey! Anyone know of a film or cinema group I could join? I love watching and discussing movies, themes, cinematography, acting, all that good stuff.

If there isn't one, I'll start one! I started a biweekly poker group a year ago and it's been going strong ever since, so if you're looking to socialize over movies (or poker!), hit me up!

How do I get there the easiest way?

Is there a bey community here? I’ve seen beyblade has been taking off recently and I’m looking to relive my childhood a bit and let it rip.

Please if anyone is going to u of l let me know I need a roommate and I found a house but we just have to split the money. Please text me.

I’m sure many of you have seen the advertisements for Mary Poppins the musical currently being put up by the phoenix arts company, but what many of you might not know is how mistreated and unprofessional this “company” is.
Phoenix arts have put up productions like Newsies, Little Women, Mary Poppins, Frozen and they will be working on the musical Come From Away later this year.
Theatre is a big part of my life so naturally I surround myself with those who also find an interest in theatre, many of them being in productions done by this company.
Their rehearsals are brutally long usually every other day every week leaving no time for the cast to be with family and just live their life. From what I heard their stage manager only got paid $5/hr and she later quit, that might be why many of you have seen ads by this company wanting to hire a new stage manager, as well as they have made the company extremely toxic, the directors talk down to their cast, sometimes to their face but mostly behind their back. As well as it is speculated that they do not follow the MTI (Music theatre international) rules.
There’s more!! if you think their casting is done fairly and everyone has a shot you’re lying to yourself! They normally send out invitations to people who they want to audition and in a way guarantee them a part which is extremely unfair and if you don’t believe me the actress playing Mary Poppins (Chris Peterson) is the owner of the company and SHE CASTED HERSELF AS THE LEAD she then went on an interview saying how glad she is to have earned the role when in reality that role was given away before the audition process started. many of the people who have been in their shows have said that the lady in charge is extremely unprofessional and somewhat known to make people uncomfortable…(during newsies I believe) she sat on her fellow directors lap making many people uncomfortable as well as making actors kiss (during Little Women) when they have said they don’t want too. Their instagram post a lot of quotes about how In theatre you have to be yourself and it should be something you love but little do they know they are slowly killing people’s love for theatre.
I understand wanting to go watch their productions maybe because you have a person in the show or you just love theatre but what this company is said to have done is extremely disgusting.
If you have any stories “working” for them please comment them.

I'm moving from StorageMart on the west side of Lethbridge to a townhouse off Mayor Magrath Dr later this month.

I was quoted $190/hour for 3 movers and a truck, with an estimated total of $2,100-$2,500 for an in-town move. The estimate is non-binding, so it could end up costing even more.

Everything is already in a storage unit, so they're only loading, driving across town, and unloading.

Does this sound reasonable, or would I be better off renting a 26' U-Haul and hiring a few helpers for the day?

If you've moved recently, what did you pay? Any movers you'd recommend (or avoid)?

Must have been due to low ticket sales as his website lists shows almost everywhere else in Western Canada.

Disappointed!

I've got a RadMini 4 that is having issues with brakes, and while I try to learn and be handy with my bike maintenance, I'd prefer to take it to a shop and have it be done professionally for this matter. Know any bike shops or anyone that can help diagnose and/or fix third-party e-bikes (i.e. not sold by them)?

Thanks! :)

So I don’t live in Alberta but I’ve been receiving so many calls from here. My number ends in 1999 so I assume it’s because my number is very easy but it seems like some people have been calling it thinking it’s a cab service. Is there anyone that could help me find where people got this number from? Thank you very much

Some of you may remember when I first asked about Dr. Gigi in this sub about a year ago, and today was finally surgery day! 🎉🥳🥳 If you’re one of the healthcare professionals that helped in anyway today, thank you so much. Everyone at CRH Day Surgery could not have been sweeter.
