I moved to Calgary almost 13 years ago when the local population was around 740 K people and driving on Deerfoot Trail was not that bad even during rush hour.

Time went by and our population increased in over 50% and it’s great to see new projects such as the West LRT extension to bring better public transport options to those who live in Calgary.

I am specially  impressed by the WestLRT web site that has been put together to keep us all informed about the project and have enjoyed watching the video presentation on how the west LRT extension will look like.

I hope to see further investments in public transport in Calgary soon.

If you are looking into purchasing a car or just want to see what’s the latest and greatest news in the automobile industry then head to the BMO Roundup Centre,
Stampede Grounds and enjoy the 2010 Calgary International Auto and Truck Show.

Show times:

Saturday, March 13th – 10 am to 10 pm

Sunday, March 14th – 10 am to 6 pm

Have fun!

Do you know the Health Link Service?

According to their site:

“The Health Link Alberta is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week nurse telephone advice and health information service. Registered nurses give advice and information about health symptoms and concerns.

Health Link nurses and information and referral specialists can also help you find services to meet your health care needs.”

They can be contacted at:

403-943-LINK (5465)
Toll-Free 1-866-408-LINK (5465)

Certainly a good number to keep around.

If you live in Calgary and you enjoy photography and a good walk then don’t miss the #yycphotowalk on Sunday, March 7th, 2010, at Kensington.

The meeting point will be: Original Joe’s (1220 Kensington Road NW) at 10:30 am if you want to come for brunch or 11:30 am if you just want to walk around Kensington and shoot (I mean photo shooting).

I was at the first #yycphotowalk and met a great group of people and had great fun.

Here is a sample of the pictures that I took during the first #yycphotowalk.
