“I think it’s important for people to realize how it goes that you get your bread in the store. I think it’s important for people to see how it grows, how it gets cut down, and how it... becomes something.”

PHOTOS: Main Street Airdrie was abuzz with activity and people on Sept. 10, for the 2022 iteration of the popular airdrieFEST street festival.

Participants swung their bats for a good cause at Airdrie's Chinook Winds Regional Park on Saturday.

Here at Airdrie Public Library (APL), we seek to inspire lifelong learning, imagination and creativity through our inclusive programs, services, and collections.

The Calgary Police Service (CPS) are looking for the public's help via dash-cam footage in locating a vehicle that is believed to have been involved in a violent, targeted assault of a Calgary man last week.

"[The cause] just hits home and Fox's legacy just needs to keep living on. I think the kids do it through school and it's nice that we can do it as a community to keep it going afterwards, too."

“Seeing a performance live is electric. When you laugh at the comedian’s jokes, you feel connected, or when you hear someone near you tapping their toe to the music, they’re feeling the same beat that you are."

“I think for one of the first times in my life, I was acknowledged by peers and by other people that something that I do for fun and that I love and am passionate about was even to be considered,” she said.

Harris said the main drawing card for the event is the social connection it provides to Airdrie residents and attendees from the surrounding region.

Combined with workshops and office hours, the residency offers local writers the chance to liaise with someone who boasts a solid publication history and an established reputation as a professional writer.
