The City of Calgary has invited the Downtown Core Neighbourhood Association and Downtown residents to provide feedback about the ongoing Green Line LRT project. #yyc #GreenLineLRT #yyccc #yycDT

So, my local #YMCA ditched the downtown of Calgary, and in its stead...
... is now a $2,400/year private athletic club.
After investment by the public, the space that was part of the community... is now a private club.
Great.
When folks hear me rant about the loss of public spaces and community areas in the downtown -- this is what I point to.
An abject failure to safeguard third places and where Calgarians can gather.
Just infuriates me to no end.
Oh, hey, my friend Paul Fairie ( @paulisci ) was in the news.
He was chatting with CBC about what needs to happen for the downtown core (my neighbourhood). #yyc #yyccc #yycDowntownCore #yycWalk #yycdt #MstdnCA

My partner has joined me in #yyc and we went for a nice fancy dinner and cocktails at Major Tom, located on the 40th floor of an office building.
