I'm in Calgary and I have taken in a few friends, one of which lost her home and the other who was just evacuated. Now before I say what is next, I do understand this is a flames forum and that people on here are prioritizing the saddledomes reclamation quite high. If the stampede grounds are to be prepared for the stampede or even the first flames game, I will be shocked. The core of our downtown is flooded with billions of dollars worth of buildings being affected, including high rise apartments that some people call home. We are temporarily without public transit. To get from the northern part of the city to the south and vice versa has been condensed to a select few routes. I hope for a speedy recovery as much as the next flames fan but not at the cost of the people in my city.
Calgary pride, Canada wide.
