What we cover

From city hall to the hockey rink, we report on the stories that shape life in Calgary.

📰

Political news

City council decisions, provincial policy changes, and the debates that affect your taxes and services. We attend the meetings so you don't have to. Our reporters ask the questions residents actually want answered.

💼

Economy and finance

Business openings and closings. Development projects. Job market shifts. We track the economic pulse of Calgary and explain what it means for workers, homeowners, and entrepreneurs trying to make a living here.

Society and social issues

Housing challenges, healthcare access, education debates—the issues that don't always make national headlines but matter deeply to families in our communities. We dig into the local angles others miss.

Culture and arts

Theatre openings, gallery shows, music venues, and the artists making Calgary interesting. Plus the festivals, community celebrations, and cultural traditions that give our neighborhoods their character.

Sports

Beyond the professional teams, we cover high school athletes, amateur leagues, and the recreational sports scene. The stories of local players, coaches, and the volunteers keeping community athletics running.

Science and technology

Research happening at local universities. Tech companies setting up shop. Environmental monitoring and climate impacts in Alberta. We translate complex topics into stories that connect to daily life.

International events

Global stories through a Calgary lens. How international developments affect our immigrant communities, local businesses with foreign ties, and residents with family abroad. The world news that matters here.

Our story

Growthflow started with a simple observation: national outlets weren't covering Calgary the way residents needed. City council votes that affected thousands got buried. Neighborhood issues went unreported. The stories that shape daily life here were falling through the cracks.

So we built something different. A newsroom focused entirely on Calgary and the surrounding communities. Our editorial team lives here, works here, and cares about the same things you do. We're not parachuting in for big stories and leaving.

We cover politics without the partisan spin. Culture without the pretension. Sports without forgetting the amateur leagues where most of the action happens. It's journalism rooted in place—your place.

Our office sits in downtown Calgary. The doors are open Monday through Friday if you want to drop by, share a tip, or tell us what we're missing. Good local news requires good local sources. That means you.

Got a story tip?

The best local journalism starts with people who know their neighborhoods. If something's happening in your community that deserves coverage, we want to hear about it.
