I recently started watching a new show on Netflix called The 100. I saw a magazine ad for this CW Network show awhile back and it really caught my eye. Ever since I found out it is also on Netflix (updated every Thursday!), and a book, I cannot stop talking about The 100! Plot: Earth…

By now, Gary Turk’s spoken poem, “Look Up,” has gotten almost 30 million views after just one week of being uploaded on YouTube.

Recently, on my trip to Dubai, I had the pleasure of watching the sunset from the tallest building in the world. Spectacular could not even cover it. Burj Khalifa, a skyscraper in Dubai, is the tallest manmade structure in the world. At a staggering 839.8 m, it gives a 360 degree view of Dubai from…
Youth Week Calgary! It’s the time of the year where we can go out with friends and enjoy ourselves for free or for a cheap price! This Youth Week, I visited the Boys and Girls Club to view a screening of Back to the Future 2. The Keystone youth program prepared snacks and created a…
This weekend, there will be a youth expo in Cochrane, May 9 – 10 – and even though it technically falls outside of Youth Week Calgary, it’s still considered a Youth Week event. This expo is simply to have fun and showcase the many talents of Cochrane’s youth. The expo was started five years ago…
Last week, I talked about my predictions in the Western Conference. This week, I will be analyzing the Eastern Conference, and give my opinion as to who I think will win. Without any further ado, let’s get right into this! Initially, there were four games in the Conference, but now, its down to only two.…
While novels that transcend the boundaries of time, such as everything I have been reading lately in English, are utterly fantastic, I find it hard to resist one that is directed so specifically to a contemporary concept. It is not simply the incorporation of current technology or our ever-evolving set of colloquialisms, but a novel…
I attended the Youth Week event Retro Movie Night where we watched Back to the Future 2. However, it was also a throwback to the past because the Boys and Girls Club of Calgary are celebrating their 75th anniversary. Shown above is The Hangar, a Boys & Girls Club space that was constructed back…

As a part of Youth Week Calgary 2014, I had the opportunity to go down to button making at Crowfoot Library. Having no idea what this event would be like, and seeing as how is only had a short duration of an hour (I assume due to library hours of closure), I walked in…
Youth Week Calgary is nothing new for Crowfoot’s YMCA. Kevin Aranas, the location’s youth coordinator, explains it is a yearly event at their location. Youth Week is something that the Crowfoot YMCA has known about for a long time, but this year, the programs they offered were bigger and better than ever before. Programs were…

Spoken word poetry can touch the human soul regardless of age, gender, race and religion – it transcends physical traits and connects people on an emotional level. I recently had the opportunity to attend the Calgary Spoken Word Festival and watch a Youth Poetry Slam. I have to say that it was a life-changing experience for me. I…
