Long story short, a close relative of mine may be moving into a facility. I'll be assisting with cleaning out their apartment as they won't be needing to bring much with them when they move.

Are there organizations that will pick up large amount of donations? Furniture, kitchenware, clothing etc?

I'll be looking to assist on selling as much as I can before donating to help this family member out with funds. It would be nice to help out an organization out that directly helps folks in need out.

Cheers all

Hi folks,

I've just arrived in the city for a 4 month work stint and in the apartment complex Airbnb I'm staying at the onsite maintenance man is a hoarder. This has me pretty concerned for all the obvious reasons and I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any resources that I could place a (hopefully anonymous) call to?

And to forestall the suggestion of finding a new place - I'm looking, but have a pet with me so finding furnished pet friendly accomodations within our budget is very difficult.

Hi, I (23m) am new to the hat and was looking to socialize with people my age and what’s a better place to socialize in than a party? Are there any places that I can go to?

I understand the college used to have a Massage therapy program but dropped it around 2013-2014. Where would a young person looking to pursue that career go to school in the surrounding area?

Looking for a band for a Christmas party. I would need a way to get in touch with them too.

Thanks!

I want to buy carts in bulk but which dispensary has the cheapest prices? Thanks for your help!

Sharing the news that the Gas City Entertainment Expo is happening today (Oct 26!) at the Stampede Grounds! It's a nice time if you're into comics, anime or video games.

Rule 7: The Gas City Entertainment Expo is run by a non-profit, and I'm not involved with them. I'm just spreading the word to get more folks out to see a cool little local event!

I saw some posts about homeless leaving clothing and junk at the town square.

They were angry about It. And they went to their immediate reaction of pleading for more policing.

No one "normal" actually wants to be around social disorder, except broken people. Im one of those broken people, so I can't let the dehumanization slide.

I actually think the people are pointing their finger at the wrong target. Houseless people who are at some of the lowest point of their lives, are not the problem.

70% of fast fashion ends up in landfills before it's is even sold to a single actual person. That should clue you in how fucked up our system is that it's cheaper to throw away the majority of clothes, then give it away.
Some of it they don't even throw away. It's shipped to poor developing countries, where its usually buried. A topic for another day.

Most of the companies that sell these trendy clothes have made a small minority of people unfathomably wealthy. Including people who have made fistfulls of cash selling the small amount of second hand that doesn't end up in landfills. I won't say here what I think should happen to places like value village. It would probably violate Reddit's tos.

These wealthy assholes fly on private jets and pollute the air with god knows how much emissions. Pay workers as little as $2 a day. And on top of all that , they have lobbyist's that literally pay for a two tier justice system and find any loophole that they can get to pay less taxes.

You know what taxes could pay for? A place for someone that is broken to get a warm meal. To get a safe place to sleep. To get a degree. Medicine hat has less social spaces that are not pay to play. Resources for those that don't have money have been shrinking for decades. This is not a few bad apples or a broken system, it's working as intended. Capitalism requires a cohort of the underclass. Someone to point at and say hey if you aren't absolutely a perfect contributor, then you will be one of them animals. And the ruling class will make sure of it, by protecting their assets and throwing the people with the least under the bus.

(Not a single cop showed up at an exec of TD house. that just got caught laundering 3 billion, yet you would be tackled to the ground for shoplifting a $30 steak at Superstore).

The houseless are not your enemy. You have way more in common with them then you don't. And most of you could easily be one with a sudden disability.

Does anyone know what they are doing and why it needs to happen at about 7:30 to 9:00 every morning? It’s like they decided how to be the most disruptive in the shortest amount of time and have reached peak efficiency. I’m sure they are accomplishing something, but man does it look like they are doing it in the worst way possible.

Hi guys, happy weekend :) my bf and I are new to the city and will be here for a few months. Do you guys have any suggestions for restaurants we can try out to celebrate my bday next week?

Looking for recommendations for a carpenter for a small custom cabinet job

In town solo for work, does anyone want to join me for a few brewskis at the tigers game tomorrow?

I am in need of two dental implants and i’m just wondering if you have had them done and who did them for you? Who would you recommend? I’m a bit nervous to have just anyone do them.

Thanks!

Even the deer are dressed for Halloween this year! seen one downtown with it's right eye hanging out of the socket, it would bounce around when it ran. Quite a gross sight...

Has anyone completed or are currently attending this program and if so, how is the quality of this program? I'm a grade 12 student that wants to go into nursing but my grades are not competieve enough to apply to the bigger universites. I have an 82% average, what are my chances of getting into this program.

Hi I was wondering what are good haunted houses to go to around here with a group of friends?

I’ve heard of the silver buckle one but I wasn’t sure if it is more geared for younger kids. I was curious if there are more available?

anyone know of any coffee shops open til like 8-9pm?

Just curious about her reputation. TIA

Anyone know if the Country Mouse Tree Farm is still open? Their website won't load, so I'm guessing they either finally sold or decided to retire.

Hey y’all, looking for enjoyable classes/groups for a coupla non-drinking, semi-active adults -get us out of the house through the chilly months and try something new … aaaaaaaand go!!

Is it okay for a house to display hateful signs? Does it go against any laws or bylaws? I took a quick look but couldn’t quite figure it out. I’m specifically referring to the lovely property near Hat News, that added “a save the planet, bury a liberal” sign in addition to his “hang Trudeau for treason” sign. Ugh.

Who here is with me? It was so... Blue... and calming... I loved the old crappy seats.
