TELUS Spark Monster-Mashup : Oct 29 and 30
This family friendly event held at TELUS spark is definitely a fun way to kick off your Halloween! I had the opportunity to volunteer at this event last year, and I can definitely confirm that it was really great, and a fantastic combination of fun and science! Added bonus: If you attend, you might catch some of Youth Central’s very own volunteers helping out!

We’ve all heard ghost stories, but have you ever wondered about Calgary’s own ghosts? Well this tour is perfect for you!
