All school year, we wait for summer to come. Then summer comes. At first, great. Sun, sleep, no homework, vacations, etc. But after awhile, if your friends are away and you’re stuck at home, thinks can get, well… boring. Let’s face it: most of us teenagers these days solve this through screen time, whether that…
Most people nowadays train in cool Martial Arts. Karate, Judo, Taekwondo! Yeah! Go self defense! But there’s a secret art that many people don’t know about! And that is Parkour. When Parkour is mentioned, we often think about the people who do backflips off buildings and roll all over the place. The cool montages on…
The beloved and timeless story of star-crossed lovers, adventure and passion in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is playing again at Mount Royal University.

The flood relief efforts have been extraordinary at rebuilding our city: even with the excitement of the Stampede long gone, summer in Calgary has never been so promising, the streets continuously bustling with countless festivals and activities.

Last summer, I was bored out of my mind because hey, after immense pressure and ever-increasing loads of schoolwork and commitments, when 2 months with no pressure and little to no schoolwork stretches out in front of you, it can often seem cavernous.

I sure wish I had went to the Stampede Parade this year instead of having been bogged down by quadratic functions and all that Math jazz at summer school.

As a result from the heavy rain that thundered across Alberta just a couple of weeks ago, Calgary was devastatingly affected, along with neighbouring towns.
