It’s official: Youth Week Calgary officially begins today and runs until May 2nd!
There’s tons of really cool events happening for all you awesome youth out there, and today we are kicking things off with four new events:
The Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) in Calgary is kicking off Youth Week by celebrating Global Youth Service Day – a day that encourages youth all over the world to give back to their community through volunteering. Today, the YVC is working on their ReGeneration Project – they’re planting a beautiful community garden for a youth transitional home in Calgary.
Into basketball? We let you in on a really cool tournament happening this weekend at the YMCA @ Bishop McNally High School…Hoops Extreme! is your chance to enjoy some b-ball this weekend! Whether you already signed up yourself and two friends to play in this 3 on 3 basketball tournament, or you’re just interested in popping by to sit in the stands and soak in all the action, it’s going to be a great day!
Hey all you film-lovers out there! The Cochrane Youth Association is celebrating Youth Week by holding their annual Film and Art Festival tonight at the Cochrane Ranchehouse Theatre. Filmmakers from Cochrane, Calgary and the surrounding area were encouraged to submit short films to be judged, with the results revealed tonight! Plus, there’s going to be youth entertainers performing all night!
Whether you’re a huge comic book fan, or just want to take in all the celebs that will be there, the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo is happening this weekend. There’s something for everyone at the BMO Centre both today and tomorrow, whether you’re interested in seeing Leonard Nimoy (a.k.a. the original SPOCK!) or are a Twi-hard (there will be THREE Twilight stars present this weekend), or want to meet some of your favourite sci-fi/comic book writers and illustrators – it’s an event no to be missed!
