Who on Calgary's city council cares enough about their constituents to do the same?

RTOR is a killer - and responsible for most of the car-on-people collisions happening in our city. #yyccc #roadsafety

Out for a lovely ride here in the north end of Calgary. A gorgeous morning with hardly a breeze, sunshine, mild temperature… just perfect. This is a favorite loop of mine & most of the pathways I generally have them to myself. 😁🤘🏻 #yycbike #yyc

Fantastic! Keep that up. 😃👍🏻

Thanks! It certainly does feel good to know you’re helping someone in need.

Thanks! Very true. It’s good for everyone. 🙂👍🏻

Apparently the aircraft that represents my birth month is the massive Martin Mars flying boat. Nice! 😁🤘🏻

It was used up until fairly recently as a water bomber by Coulson Aviation. It’s quite the sight to see. #aviation

Agreed. Always good to encourage & remind others to participate. It helps a lot. 👍🏻

Thanks! And congrats to you on the 50 mark! Keep that up. 😃👍🏻

Thank you. I enjoy doing it. 🙂

That would definitely help then! 😂

You’re welcome. I’m glad to hear that your treat is working for you. You’ve got many years ahead of you yet. 🙂

And I apologize if you had the momentary urge to have Schnitzel, Bratwurst & speak German. Those genes are definitely in my blood. 😉

Thanks ! I’m happy to do it. 🤗

That’s great to hear that the city crew got out there so fast to clear that tree. 👍🏻

Completed my 100th whole blood donation with Canadian Blood Services today. I started because my grandmother donated up into her 80’s. She was only the only one who did so I thought I’d pick up the torch & continue it.

Please consider donating too. 🙂🩸
