The fun stuff. Calgary has a ton of amazing stuff that happens in our city. Reviews of new movies, or albums, art shows or news about sports.
Oh blowing, rustling trees Beneath the starry skies, Beaming under the moonlight, How shall I address your beauty today? Shall I speak of your golden leaves, Or the roots beneath the sole of my feet. Or shall I speak of your branches That wave at me when I’m alone. I shall epistolize of your courage…
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” -A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh If you remember the posts from Danielle and I a few weeks ago, we, along with Richard, recently returned from being part of a 64 year tradition known as SUNIA. The 5-day camp brought together high school students…

Summer is almost over (sniff), but if you’re looking for something to do in these last couple of weeks, why not take part in Calgary Pride 2016? This year marks Calgary’s 26th annual festival, running from August 26th (today!) to September 5th. This festival is presented by ATB, through an organization called Calgary Pride, a…
As a writer, poet, singer, filmmaker, and visual composer, Toronto based artist Vivek Shraya has been generating a continuous flow of creative content for about 22 years. Her numerous and multimedia works have been critically acclaimed and recognized by institutions like The Globe and Mail, The Huffington Post, the CBC, and The National Post. Shraya is a…
With the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics having drawn to a close, there comes a time to look back on and reflect on the historic games. Not only did Canadian athletes, especially the women, far exceed expectations, improve on the medal count achieved in London 2012, partake in the greatest bromance of the century, but…
After a summer full of adventures and memories, what could serve as better icing on the cake than a week-long getaway from the city? For bloggers Hui Wen and Richard, along with myself, it’s safe to say that the next item in our summer itinerary has us sitting on the edge of our seats. All three of us are heading…
After months and months of talks to do so, fellow editor Danielle and I finally braved (mild) embarrassment and fear of the unknown and, braced with a selfie stick and iPhone (64GB — bless up), conquered 4 street to bring you all a vlog of the cool places we saw. Despite having attended school a few blocks…
So it’s summer, and everyone’s out having fun, being in the sun, seeing new things, travelling to new places, etc. Is anyone else feeling a little left out? But luckily for us, travelling doesn’t necessarily mean taking a plane to the Bahamas and going to the beach. Travelling can be more local than that. For…
Pokemon Go has taken over the world by storm and chances are, you’ve seen countless posts about it on social media. For better or worse, it the current fad. There are already a ton of gameplay articles written, so I will focus on my personal experience with this game and the cultural implications it has. What…
I’ve lived in Calgary my entire life. Same neighbourhood, same street, same house. The furthest I’ve ever moved is into what used to be our guest room. As a result of this, I have (regrettably) become so used to the idea of the little Calgary that I know that I often forget that there’s so…
It’s back: A plethora of new midway eats have flooded the Stampede Grounds for The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth. Whether you’re into sweet, savoury, deep fried, food on a stick or downright weird, you can find something to satisfy your cravings. As for myself, old habits die hard and I just HAD to try…
It’s that time of year again: time to break my efforts at maintaining a healthy summer lifestyle for the Calgary Stampede’s crazy foods. This past Friday marked my first vegetarian Stampede and it was definitely quite a challenge to watch my friends eat award-winning BBQ ribs; even walking down the section of the park with all…
If you’ve ever taken an English class, chances are that you’ve had to read Shakespeare. If hearing that brings bad memories, then I’m sorry. I feel like Shakespeare gets a lot of criticism because the language is hard to understand. Or perhaps you are bored to tears and you hate that you have to study it. Maybe…
Now that it’s summer, I have all the time in the world (seemingly) to finally dig into those books I’ve been lusting over for months. My jam packed schedule during the school year inhibits the time I have for things I enjoy doing, like reading! I decided what better to do then share what’s on…
