Description

Twenty-three thousand Jehovah’s Witnesses are flooding into Calgary this weekend for their massive Eternal Happiness Convention — a spiritual gathering that’s been a cornerstone of their Alberta presence since 1911. With over 6,000 members in the city alone, they’re not just preaching from the pulpit but also translating the Bible into Indigenous languages, offering door-to-door ministry, and even stepping up in disaster relief. The city’s hospitality is on full display, with hotels booking 22,000 bed nights and delegates from across North America praising Calgary’s warm welcome — a testament to the city’s ability to host world-class events and the enduring global reach of this faith community.

American Chains Flood Into Alberta | Calgary News

Chick-fil-A, Shake Shack, and Krispy Kreme are also making their mark, fueling local excitement and proving that despite trade tensions, U.S. brands see Canada as a natural, high-demand next step with familiar tastes and eager customers.

Calgary Council Votes on Ward Budget Boost | Calgary News

Calgary city council is set to vote on a bold 20% budget hike for ward offices—jumping from $370K to $455K by 2027—to cope with population growth and inflation. But the proposal’s not without pushback: some councillors argue it’s unfair to ask other departments to cut while asking for more, and that better staffing and efficiency—not bigger budgets—should solve the problem. Meanwhile, adding more wards is a costly alternative.
