Good news stories aren’t supposed to be about basic infrastructure working. You turn on the tap. Water comes out. That’s not news. Except when your city’s been under restrictions for months because years of neglect finally caught up, suddenly a long shower somewhere else feels like a miracle.

Ryan explains what it’s like to leave Calgary for a weekend and remember what normal water pressure feels like. David celebrates ending a two and a half year wait for healthcare access. Shane describes New Year’s Eve on the phone with an EMT after his daughter got thrown from a bronc, and the moment doctors said the CT scan was clear.

Learn why Good News Tuesday exists and how training yourself to find positive moments compounds over time. Understand what Calgary’s water crisis reveals about municipal infrastructure across Canada. Discover how one rodeo injury exposed a healed fracture nobody knew existed.
