Once again, another weekend is fast approaching. It feels like no time at all has passed since the 5-day weekend and for those who were busy the majority of that time (and that would have to be me…), may this be the time to finally relax and indulge in these great events occurring in our…
After one exhausting week, it is finally time to relax and detox the brain from all the stress that has been clogging it. Yes, my dear readers, it is a long weekend. Days to sleep in, and of course, tons of opportunities to catch up with the city as it bustles with life. I have…
Note: This event has been postponed to next Thursday (September 18th) due to the weather. We’ll see you then! School is a reality. The end of fun is not, however, despite popular belief.

Summer in Cowtown is the prime “festival season” as it is a “construction season”; the vibrancy is meant to be taken in through participation, not realizing you have missed out on the fun after hearing about it through post-festival media coverage! Here is a set of festival listings that I have found to be useful…
UPDATE (6/29/13) – Now instead of the Heritage Park project, we’ll be helping out with flood clean-up in Sunnyside. Yay! 🙂 UPDATE (6/26/13) – In the wake of our flooding (see all of YAA’s coverage here), the project at Heritage Park has been cancelled. We are looking for an opportunity for our volunteers who have signed up…
Post-con blues? Don’t worry, there’s always photos to help with coping! Without further ado, here are a bunch of various photos I snapped up at Otafest of the various things that personally made my day. Enjoy. 🙂 Until next Otafest… 🙂
Improv, or rather improvisational theatre, is neat if you are the audience seeing it unfold. For the performers, though, it’s in a different league of its’ own compared with scripted productions. As part of Youth Week (of course), the Loose Moose Theatre Company (if you’ve ever heard Youth Central’s Andrew Phung do some public speaking, you know where…
As a young generation of Canadians, we are entrenched with a sense of security as we mature when it comes to emerging world issues. From the day we enter this world with astonishment and curiosity, we are protected on a global basis with the United Nation’s Declaration of the Rights of the Child. Even with these types…
