Why should you run?
Spring is here and summer is nearing! It’s finally that time of the year again where we Calgarians get a small taste of what our summer is going to look like. The sweet cool breeze rushing past our faces, the scorching sun pounding down covering every inch of our body with the warmth we’ve been…

Joel Agarwal: Exploring nature in Calgary
