Though Calgary’s had a fairly mild winter this year, it’s finally time to spend some quality time outside. While flying kites and going to parks may be all the rage for a few hours, gardening is a great opportunity to let your children grow over the entire summer. Plus, gardening is a great outdoor activity, and it’s something that you can plan and enjoy doing as a family.
So, it’s date night… with kids! Not quite the romantic whirlwind that a couple date would have, but it can still be fun for everyone. The key is to have an activity that can be fully enjoyed by children and adults alike, even if it requires the adults to channel their inner child a bit more than usual.
You don't have to spend a lot of money every time you go out. Taking advantage of weekly deals or drop-in sessions, you can have fun with the whole family without breaking the bank. Here's a list of on-going deals all around the city for every day of the week!
Calgary International Children's Festival bursts onto the scene each May, welcoming over 50,000 parents, children, teachers, and theatre-lovers each year. The Festival is a place where parents can share Calgary's vibrant arts and culture with their children, and the kids, young and old, can come to explore, discover, and expand their creative selves. As the creative thinkers of tomorrow, this offers an invaluable chance to experience the arts, often for the first time, in a fun, safe, and imaginative Festival environment.
As an avid supporter of the Festival, Allie Percival-Wightman (our Social Media Manager) was able to sit down with Brian Dorscht, Curator of the Festival, and learn more about this annual event.
