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.
On Sunday, Richie and I went down to Dutton Theatre on the 2nd floor of Central Library to check out this Story Slam Competition. There was a $5 admission fee, and it was actually something completely new to me and worth the money.
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…
This week, I’m here to show you a really neat video on the abilities of sound and water working in unison. This particular experiment seems to “freeze” the water in mid-air. The video states this is done by; “This is really simple but has such an awesome effect. Fill a bucket full of water and…
This weekend, Calgary will be hosting a comic and entertainment expo at the BMO Centre on the Stampede grounds. There will truly be something for everyone at this event- whether your interest be comics, anime, gaming, science fiction or cartoons.

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…

Despite the controversy, I must agree that it had quite effectively brought to our attention the issue of child soldiers around the globe.…
Last Tuesday, I had the pleasure of attending the annual Summer Hiring Fair at the Big Four Building at Stampede Park. It was a surprisingly large event, with almost 100 employers from all around Calgary and many times that amount of youth attending. For anyone interested in attending next year, here are some tips and…
During my trip to the zoo, this is a capture I made of these couple of cuties. Has anyone seen a better display of penguin love at first sight?
I’ve always found that the best part of the Calgary Stampede was all of the animals. And luckily, I won’t have to wait until July to get in on some more sheep shearing! This weekend, Aggie Days is going on at the Stampede Park and I am extremely excited to have it as a Youth…
On April 17, the Big Four building became home to thousands of youth interested in jobs and employers interested in youth. The event was created to help 15 to 24 year olds to connect with employers hiring in the Calgary area. The Hiring Fair creates (and created) a great environment for youth to meet face-to-face with…

He is a true inspiration to several individuals because despite his limitations, his positive attitude, charisma and enthusiasm never fades away. He has traveled to Kenya to build…
