Air quality in Calgary remains poor as wildfire smoke blankets the city. The situation is expected to last through the long weekend.

An unusual surge in the invasive Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) has been observed in Alberta, attributed to climate change, land disturbances, and poor pasture management.

A resident of Calgary observed two bobcats in an urban setting, a rare sighting for an area where such wildlife is typically solitary and less visible.

Air quality concerns have extended across the foothills and west-central Alberta including Calgary and surrounding areas.

Much of Alberta remained under a heat warning Wednesday but after months cooped up indoors, many Calgarians are embracing the warm weather.

Calgarians are picking up the pieces after a massive storm brought tennis ball-sized hail and flooding to the city Saturday night. A number of community residential roads have also been impacted. Cars left abandoned on major roadways will be towed throughout the day.

The below average temperatures and higher than average volumes of snow have been observed this Spring (mid March to mid April) in Calgary Alberta. My observation is based off a comparison experience with spring 2017, where there was no snow and warmer than average temperatures.
