After finishing my Chemistry IB exam way back in May, our class of 11 Chemistry geeks had the opportunity to learn a bunch of games.

Calgary’s been like this for so long. I think it’s time for a change.
After spending days in an anticipation-filled countdown for Sunday June 5, my dreams were somewhat crushed. Through my school’s involvement with the Youth Volunteer Corps, I had signed up to volunteer at the Calgary Enerflex MS Walk last Sunday.
