Today, I set out to review one of the Montreal-inspired food trucks that have come out to feed hungry Calgarians. The Red Wagon Diner Food Truck, with it’s shiny red exterior and familiar “red wagon” image, was spotted outside the Shaw Building at 6 St and 3 Ave SW. The menu had been enticing me…
Ever glanced upon a piece of artwork at an art gallery or museum, possibly painted during the renaissance? Or even one of Picasso’s abstract paintings? Were you entirely captured by the beauty and the delicacy of the artwork? These faces upon the paintings are said to be the perfect record of beauties. The top five are…
I looooove board games. And not just the Hasbro ones–the ones that would last for hours on end in attempts to win a tactical game. Games such as Settlers of Catan or RISK. But you may ask yourself… how on earth are you going to choose? Well, I stumbled upon this brilliant flow chart on…
Today was the last day of school for most high school students before exams. I thought this day would never come. But now, the summer is finally here, and I’m super excited to start out my summer adventures. Summer is a great time for adventures, the sunny day just brightens up anybody’s mood, and there’s…
Castle Pizza, a little restaurant camouflaged within a strip mall on Elbow Drive, is generally the place to satisfy teenagers’ food demands in the Southwest area of Calgary. Since it is right in front of Henry Wise Wood High School, I decided to visit Castle Pizza after my classes. The atmosphere of the shop is…
Forget those fancy, sweet-smelling perfumes sold at The Body Shop and The Bay; the all-new Macbook Pro perfume is the hottest new scent. Gavin Bell, Jarrah de Kuijer, and Simon McGlinn teamed up with Air Aroma to create a new perfume that smells like a brand new, just-opened Macbook. Professional perfume makers studied the unique scent…
From the excited faces and camaraderie at the St. Patty’s Fun Day, it’s hard to imagine that three years ago such an event wouldn’t have happened at Discovering Choices School.
The 2012 summer Olympics is only 54 days and 59 minutes away (as I’m typing this)! But you don’t have to wait that long to take part in the action. In fact, you may get to meet and greet potential medalists for the low price of two 4-hour shifts as a volunteer! What? You haven’t heard? Our…
I am sure none of you are unaware of what’s going on in the east side of the country. Strikes! One of the largest student organizations of students in Quebec, CLASSE, has been in the streets since March. These Québécois students are angry about the tuition fee hike. CLASSE, one of the biggest student groups…
Volunteer to be the Library mascot! The Calgary Public Library is looking for people who want to step inside the wonderful Curious the Chameleon mascot costume and transform into a friendly, furry mascot!

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…
You might be tired of me advertising these bundles… but I think it’s important that you know about them. Especially this one, called Because We May (May refers to the month and permission–how witty!) which is the ultimate sale for indie games. If you went giddy over Steam deals, get this: Android, iOS and Mac…
One of the most bittersweet events in life is graduation. It marks the end of the period in our lives where we’re more prone to make mistakes, when we desperately want to live a more independent life and where we endured the rigid high school system. But it also marks the beginning of a new…
Yes, it’s a Twitter hashtag, and it has to do with the worldwide event that occurred on May 17, when the band Sigur Rós live-streamed their upcoming album “Valtari” for one hour for all 24 time zones at precisely 7 p.m. respectively. That was a run-on sentence, but if a band played their album on…
