Truly amazing. Been in Calgary for about 5 of my 30 years and felt like a true Calgarian today.

Not sure if you were on my street but none the less a heart felt thank you.
Although you have only been here for 5 years, your are a full blooded Calgarian. We as a city should be very proud. We don't sit around waiting for the government to fix things, we all roll up our sleeves and fix it ourselves. That very unique spirit of entrapenurship is alive and well in this city, and I love it.
Look at our street. No one from the city has shown up yet to do anything that I can see. However, yesterday the residents and people like MMF started pumping the street and homes where the floor joists were threatened. Water Services showed up around noon, gave us the thumbs up and told us to just keep going.
This is the best city in world, and I think everyones actions show that. I've never been more proud to be from this town.
