Canstruction® Calgary brings together teams of engineers, designers, architects and builders to create extraordinary structures out of non-perishable food items. The structures are judged, exhibited to the public, and then de-canstructed, with food going to the Calgary Food Bank. This year, structures are inspired by the theme: Retro Toys and Games, You CAN Play. Nine teams have used more than 44,000 cans of food to create structures that will remain on display at Southcentre Mall until April 21st. Calgarians coming to view the installation are invited to bring a donation of non-perishable items and to vote for their favourite structure in the People’s Choice Awards beginning April 9th. The structures will also be judged by a panel of esteemed Calgarians on April 20th.

Sound the alarm! Don’t miss the Engine 23 Opening Party on April 20. The decommissioned firetruck is a showstopper as Calgary Public Library welcomes the community to engage in the experience and visit the newly renovated Fish Creek Library. Activities will begin at 10 am and will include a visit from the Fire Hound Mascot, face painting, live music, and Family Storytime. Engine 23 is generously supported by donors to the Calgary Public Library Foundation.

Celebrate Earth Day by donating your unused electronics at Southcentre Mall’s Southeast Parking Lot. Together with the Electronic Recycling Association, we’re turning e-waste into opportunity. Let’s shape a greener tomorrow, one device at a time!
