Organizers of the annual Pirates and Princesses Gala and Fundraiser pulled the plug on the event for the second year in a row due to enhanced public health restrictions and a limit on in-person gatherings.

There are a host of events and programs at Airdrie Public Library this February, for patrons of all ages.

In another year of showing off his season-predicting talents virtually, local groundhog celebrity Balzac Billy is ready to make his annual appearance on Feb. 2 at the Blue Grass Ltd. Nursery, Sod and Garden Centre in Balzac.

Airdrie Rotary Festival of Performing Arts is returning to a live, in-person event this spring with piano, voice, musical theatre, strings, speech, and classical guitar and ukulele performances.

Following a pandemic-induced hiatus, the Airdrie Gaelic Society (AGC), a parent organization of the local Pipes and Drums band, will be once again hosting its annual Robbie Burns Dinner – the seventh iteration of its kind – on Jan. 29 at the Maritime Pub & Eatery.

An Airdrie paramedic who spoke at a town hall meeting last summer to bring to light what is being deemed an “ongoing crisis” about rural ambulance availability was suspended without pay earlier this month due to his social media posts, according to his wife.

Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? “Better yet, why do it at all?” said the little devil on my shoulder.
