The OopsaDazy Animal Rescue is a rescue and sanctuary society which takes in and cares for animals. Over the past year, large amounts of animals have been taken in and many of them with extensive medical needs. Unfortunately, the cost of these bills are sky rocketing high. They are hosting the ‘Shop to Save a…
Vancouver and Edmonton have both experienced Make It. Guess who’s next… Calgary! Just in time for the holiday season that’s around the corner too. WHAT is Make It? Make It is the handmade revolution. It is an event where you can shop for ethically made, one-of-a-kind handmade items from over 50 of Canada’s hottest emerging…
Ok, lets be honest. We all have at least one guilty pleasure of trash TV. For me, it’s America’s Next Top Model. For others it’s Wipe Out! We ‘waste’ hours watching these products of consumer culture that will not advance our intelligence or understanding of the world beyond how to achieve a marvellous face-plant or…
As you may know, Youth Are Awesome is a program of Child and Youth Friendly Calgary. One of the staff members here, Andrew Phung, has made it into the top 5 finalists in the search for Canada’s next sportscaster on The Score‘s show Drafted. In the midst of all of this, you may be wondering…
This is it! Finally, the movie that we all have being waiting for is out in theaters. Never seen before rehearsal footage of the King of Pop opened October 28th, but will only be in theaters for two weeks! This is a must see movie for all Michael Jackson fans out there and even…
You heard right! There’s some wicked math for you! Of course, I’m referring to the Pumpkin & Leaf Composting Program run through the City of Calgary. Essentially, the program aims to promote the recycling and composting of our tree’s fall droppings and those spooky, delicious orange veggies. You can drop off your leaves and/or pumpkins…
November 11th. A time to reflect on the sacrifices of civilians and soldiers who were part of the war. A time to thank the soldiers who fought for our freedom in the wars. It’s celebrated on November 11th because it signifies the end of World War I on that date in 1918. The formal end…
I just recently had the pleasure of taking in a marvelously absurd comedy playing at theatre Calgary. 7 Stories, a one-act play by Morris Panych, is a wonderfully concocted 90 minute production of hilarity and insanity. On the seventh storey ledge of an apartment building, a man is about to jump. Before he steps off,…
Now I know some teens out there are going through that, “Am I too old to trick or treat?” phase and if you’re asking it, I’m sure your parents are saying yes. However, no matter what role you are playing for Halloween this year, whether it be cowboy, princess, a garbage bag (my personal favourite),…

Don’t know who or what Owl City is? Well it is basically a ‘one-man’ band that was formed in 2007 by a young man named Adam Young. This electronic, new wave pop sensation began in Adams parents’ basement in Owatonna, Minnesota. Owl City first got exposure through good old ‘myspace’ and soon became so popular…
It’s an undeniable fact that school requires a lot of reading. And the further in school you go, the more reading there is. While it might not initially seem like a major chunk of your workload, reading all of your assigned pages can take a vast amount of time, and for someone who doesn’t read…
Horray! No more written portion on Alberta Diploma Math and Sciences (Chemistry, Physics and Biology) exams that account for 50% of a student’s final grade in that course and on top of that, are supposedly designed to test student’s full understanding of the contents of those courses. This recent change occured without any consultation from teachers. It will…
Metric is coming to town! Metric will be coming to Calgary on October 30th at the Big Four Building by Stampede Park. The concert will be held at 8:00pm that night. Tickets are sold for at $36.50 and it’ll be worth every cent of it! For those who are unfamiliar with Metric, Metric is a…
