If you’ve gone outside at all for the past couple of days, you would have noticed something peculiar. The snow seems to be melting, the temperature seems to be rising, and animals seem to be appearing. Could it be? Spring, long at last, is here!
What does the changing of the seasons mean? Well, we can begin to look forward to the tips of new growing plants popping out of the soil, the singsong voices of birds, and opening the window in the morning to take in the warm, refreshing spring air. There’s also Easter and Spring Break for all us students. Don’t forget that now we also get to pack away all our bulky winter clothes and bring those shorts back to your wardrobe!
As we begin to clean out our houses in preparation for the better season ahead, here’s a list of things for youth to do during spring in Calgary:
-
Get into the mountains!
The snow has melted and the wildlife in the mountains is beginning to flourish again, creating a beautiful vista that people of all ages can enjoy.
-
Visit the Calgary Zoo!
The animals there become more active and energetic in the spring, and if you plan on visiting the Zoo ever, spring is the time to do it.
-
Celebrate in a parade for a holiday!
Whether this be for St. Patrick’s Day or Easter, parades are always in order and always amazingly fun.
-
Calaway Park

-
Visit one of Calgary’s downtown hotspots.
Try Prince’s Island Park or Stephen Avenue, for a brief break from your work to be with nature or to shop and have fun with friends!
Of course, there’s much more that you can do. Whatever you decide to do with your spring, make sure you make the most of it, before it’s gone!
