This weekend, take a vacation… or at least pretend that you’re on the beach for a few hours.

Nothing tastes as good as charity feels – but ice cream comes close. This weekend, stop by Luke’s for a potentially life-saving cup of flavored sweet cream. Until the end of the month, 100% of the profits will go to the incredible people of Ukraine currently fighting for their freedoms.
Bundle up! As long as the weather permits, this weekend Calgarians can waddle over to the Zoo for their adorable 10th annual Penguin Walk! This event is truly as cute as can be, so check it out!
