It seems like Wolf Creek School district shuts down buses and closes schools for a lot of bad weather that isn't actually that bad. I kind of want to write some letters and get some municipal politics going on and voice my concerns through proper channels instead of just complaining about it on Reddit.

But I also want to complain about it on Reddit.

I sent a message through the Wolf Creek Public Schools website to the district's transportation department. Here's what I wrote:

I feel like the decision to close all the schools in the Wolf Creek division was unnecessary today. The frequency of school closures for bad weather in the Wolf Creek district is embarrassing, I'm certain it's higher than other neighboring school districts. I saw the statistic on your fact sheet that says the average has only been 1.6 days a year, I don't believe that's true, I'd like to see how that data breaks down. How much higher is that average if we look at the last 5 years? I think that data points to the reason I'm writing today. I can't speak to what road conditions may have been like in the furthest remote regions of the district, but for my family on the east side of Blackfalds, we require bus transportation to the elementary school on the west side of Blackfalds. Our bus commute is on mostly ploughed city roads and the bus probably never goes faster than 40 km per hour. The risk of poor visibility from fog is not a concern on this trip. Buses have have dual rear tires, they're better equipped to drive on snowy roads than many of the parents' vehicles. Closing the schools with the buses is problematic too, especially when the weather isn't actually that bad and every other reasonable person is still expected to make it through the bad weather and go in to work. Wolf Creek may traditionally be a rural school district, but Blackfalds is growing quickly and I don't think it should be treated as a rural school that needs to be cut off from the rest of civilization when the highways in central Alberta get bad.

I understand the bus cancellations and school closures are all done in the name of safety, but I think these closures create more danger by putting it up to parents to make last minute child-minding arrangements and require additional transportation to get their children to where they need to be. We make one bus driver safe by giving them a day off, but pile additional risks on dozens of parents who need to do more hurried driving in bad road conditions to get their kids where they need to be on those days when the bus don't run.

I think Wolf Creek needs to seriously look at how frequently they're cancelling buses and closing schools for bad weather days in the not-so-rural areas like Blackfalds.

Can anyone tell me the current residential property tax rate in Blackfalds? Ex) Red deer is @ .99% this year. Any help muchly appreciated. Thank you.

For people who live in blackfalds whatare the good and the bad things about living there? Anything I should know if im moving there?

I am moving to Blackfalds end of month and need information on who to pick for my Electric and Gas. I have never had options before. Any opinions on best rates and best service.?

At least until they add a dedicated Blackfalds zone, or add Blackfalds to a modified Red Deer zone.

Unless you are tipping VERY well ($15+), basically every single courier is going to LOSE money, doing your delivery, wether they know it or not.

This will likely also cause the issues that already exist on Uber Eats, where your order will take hours to get delivered, and cost the restaurant money, because of needing to remake orders, due to food safety standards.

So we ordered through Uber eats because we had some 30$ off thing. Order at 5ish, Uber says 1 hour. Annie’s calls us directly at 515 and tells us the foods packaged and ready to go but the driver isn’t there yet. Now Uber hasn’t even assigned the order to a driver yet when Annie’s called. Annie’s then offered us their free delivery service and we could just go through them directly, but at full price. We would lose the 30$ off, which we explained and they tell us it happens all the time the drivers so slow, again Uber didn’t even have a driver assigned yet so this food shouldn’t even have been touched yet. But we are being told it’s ready to go nearly an hour before Uber was even going to pick it up. We saw no will just wait for the Uber order.

Uber messages they’re running behind, but at 630 they assign a driver and let us know it’s on the way. So just my wife calls Annie’s because curious as it’s been 90 minutes since they said the food was done. We get told that yup that’s your cold ass food, we called you to try and let us get it to you when it was hot but you chose to wait. Seriously. After the delivery time it was 7 when we got it, it wasn’t cold either it was warm like they had just let it sit out.

tl;dr: Annies prepares our order way early then offers to deliver it if we pay them instead, then let the food sit until Uber picks it up nearly 2hours later.

Is it ok for a restaurant to let a delivery service pick up food that’s been out for 90 minutes.

Anybody want to be friends in Blackfalds?

Moved here 2 months ago now and missing some needy activities that can let me get creative

If you have a game I can join while I learn to DM let me know, or even if you are just playing some Vida games

Anything I should know about the town?

I had a cole classic sandwich the other day and it made me want to shit but in a good way. Does anyone know where I can get more? Maybe somewhere that serves sweaty coke and a nice set of hands. Any suggestions?

Our doorbell rang and Jarvi got really excited. The moment I opened the door he bolted out and before I knew it he was already down the street. The last thing I saw was his big fuckin tongue disappear around the corner of my close and now he’s off the grid. He’s got brown fur, a 2 inch tail, and a huge ass mouth that’ll bite a nigga if you get too close. Let me know if any of you see his ass runnin around town, I don’t want him to miss Christmas :(

Hello everyone, my dog ran away yesterday when I was taking a bath and now he’s out on the town. His name is Jarvi and has the biggest mouth/tongue you’ll ever see. Message me back if you find that nigga, I miss him real bad :(

The other day I was taking a quick dip in the centennial park pond and I discovered a new blackfaldian. Theres a big ass octo that's made a home in the lake and it nearly got me while I was swimming. What do you guys think we should do with the thing? I was thinking that we could make an aquarium for it in the abbey center because it's too deadly to leave in the pond.

Anyway, stay away of the park for now. We'll have the dinosaur patrol the pond so nobody will get pulled in.

My blender broke down this morning while making my breakfast smoothie. I think it was because I tried to put a full apple in there because the blades are all bent outta wack and it doesn't turn on anymore. Would anyone be interested in buying it off of me? I'll offer a reasonable price for it.
