Normally, when you hear about someone getting fired, it can be for any number of reasons – maybe they showed up late all the time; maybe there wasn’t enough work for them; or maybe they just sucked at their job… Another aspect, however, is that of maintaining a professional appearance.
On June 14, Framework is holding a silent auction… but with a twist! Rather than bidding with money, people bid volunteer hours on works of art by local Calgarian artists. Here’s how it works: From 7 p.m. – 10 p.m., Calgarians who are interested in volunteerism will come together at the Flames Central Building and…
Calling all those who are fans of Japanese cuisine…! (Or those who are willing to try it!) Wa’s is a Japanese restaurant I’ve been to literally more than a dozen times now, and what can I say – their food is amazing every single time. Their food quality is very consistent; the sashimi always fresh…
The day you’ve been training for all season – all your life! – finally arriving The smell of the outdoors Lacing up your ratty, trusty runners Pulling on your team singlet Good old warm up: karaoke and A/C kicks When the officials call your name Peeling out and putting on your number sticker The anticipation…
A bit more of an even number and nearly twice the number of 127 Hours. However, neither Aron Ralston nor James Franco are desperately stuck in a canyon. This is the story of 40 men, playing a 10 and a half hour hockey game to raise money for the Alberta Children’s Hospital. And it’s happening…
On Saturday, I went to the zoo and saw these beautiful penguins. I find it amazing how they brought penguins to Calgary and I definitely encourage you all to check them out. They are wonderful creatures and it’s not everyday where you get to see penguins. Unfortunately, penguins cannot fly, although they are amazing swimmers.…
On April 27, I attended a teen-only event at the Calgary Public Library (thanks for hosting it CPL). I honestly had no idea what to expect and I was sure in for a surprise.
This past weekend, lying in the shadow of this year’s extremely crazy Comic Con, was the Calgary Festival of Arts and Crafts. From Friday to Sunday, there were hundreds of vendors selling home-made handcrafted goods like bags, clothing, food, candy, art, soap, metal work, and jewellery. You name it,it was probably there. This festival gave…
*Disclaimer: This post will sound increasingly fangirl-esque as you progress. I was excited.
In his poem, The Hollow Men, T.S. Eliot wrote, “This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper.”
Don’t know about you, but I LOVED the showers and mist we got last week. Weather like this rarely occurs in Calgary. For the days when Calgary is once again dry, for the nights when you feel like listening to rain tapping on your window, try rainymood.com. Beside the simple, relaxing soundtrack of rainfall, the site…
With the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo coming up this weekend, I got a chance to talk with Mr. Steven Hodges, spokesperson and organizer for the Expo. Check out his responses below…
The original Batman. The father of Marvel Comics. Weasley twins. The voice of Winnie the Pooh. Star Trek. Do these sound familiar? I’m sure at least some of them register with readers, regardless of age or interest.
For all those who do not have a clue what Youth Night is, it is a night every week that is hosted by Cardel Place where youths and people from all ages come to have fun, exercise, play sports, watch movies etc. Provided for the luxury of its attendees, The Cardel Place offers three open…
You may or may not be right, but (cliche as it sounds -) you’ll never know if you don’t try. (And just because you don’t look good in a dainty little tutu doesn’t mean you can’t become an incredible break dancer. Those are two totally different worlds.) I’ve always admired b-boys/b-girls who can break into…
