So how did Youth Week go? This past Sunday was 2014’s Youth Week Calgary wrap-up event at the Deerfoot Meadows Tutti Frutti. Just like at the kick-off event (which Rebecca and Wentao attended on Easter Sunday), youth could pile an unlimited amount of froyo and toppings into “youth cups” for a flat rate of $4.…
I wasn’t sure what I expected when I arrived at the Eau Claire YMCA last Wednesday, but it was likely not the dynamic and enjoyable experience I had. The focus of the session I attended was urban art, and so, being right in downtown Calgary, we went for an urban art walk. Before that, however,…
Written by and starring Artistic Producer Ellen Close and Puppet Master Braden Griffiths, My Family and Other Endangered Species is something you cannot miss. It is a piece of theatre that everybody must see, a piece of text that everybody must enjoy, and an experience that everybody must venture on. It is simply wonderful. The…

Easter Sunday, younglings all over the city hunted for eggs beneath the sunny rays procuring an appetite for one thing, frozen yogurt.

Are you one of those folks that wanted to try a “First Person Shooter” in real life, but Laser Tag just wasn’t doing you justice? Have you searched far and wide to try to find the best paintball place near your city? If you have a car and don’t mind driving for a bit, then…
Friday’s charm is printmaking’s charm. When it’s the last day of the work week and you are prepared for a fun weekend adventure, you have more patience to do it! Two Fridays ago, this event was my chance to enjoy Creative Printmaking at the North Pleasant Arts Centre! (And to support Youth Week too!) It was a pretty quiet night…

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 child, or even as a teenager, we’ve always wanted to be some sort of super hero. Batman, Spiderman, or Super Man were our role models, people who we looked up to and fantasized we could be like. I mean, flying is pretty awesome, isn’t it? But we’ve grown to recognize that we can’t…
