1. GolfutureYYC  (formerly Golf Canada, formerly RCGA) on the corner of Glenmore and Deerfoot Trail. This course offers four sets of tees and ranges from 37 to 140 yards.

A short and pretty little 9-hole course with some water and sand that is not really in play (at least from the front tees).

This facility is a great place with a fantastic driving range (with tracers) food and beverages. And a 40,000 square foot practice putting green. 

The course has some trees and runs alongside the Bow River.  

2. Lil Devil Golf Course in Chaparral Valley has a small 9-hole golf course - located by the Lil Devil Pro Shop. This course offers two sets of tees and ranges from 50 to 300 yards.

A dog-friendly backyard isn't just a luxury; it's a necessity for pet owners who want to ensure their pets are safe, healthy, and entertained. Here's how you can create the best outdoor space for your dog, combining fun, safety, and practicality.

1. Secure Fencing: Safety First

Why it matters: The first step to a dog-friendly backyard is ensuring your pet can't escape. A secure fence keeps your dog safe from potential dangers and prevents them from wandering off.

What to do:

• Height: Ensure your fence is high enough (at least 6 feet for large breeds) to prevent your dog from jumping over.
• Material: Choose sturdy materials like wood, vinyl, or chain-link. For smaller dogs, ensure there are no gaps they can squeeze through.
• Maintenance: Regularly check for and repair any gaps, holes, or weak spots.

2. Shaded Areas: Protection from the Elements

Why it matters: Dogs can overheat quickly, especially in hot weather. Providing shaded areas allows them to cool off and stay comfortable.

What to do:...

The month of May showed a resilient market with strong resale home sales, slightly below last year's record but well above long-term trends. Sales declined in lower-priced detached and semi-detached homes due to limited supply. According to Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at CREB®, new listing inventories have increased, mainly in higher price ranges, supported by a strong economy. However, these did not offset the decline in lower-priced sales. Inventory levels, though improved, remain low, favoring sellers. Price growth continued city-wide, with the benchmark price rising compared to both last month and last year.
